I watched that fight live at the time, and as I remember it Quarry backed him into the ropes and just clocked him. That was that. He did go the...
Daryl Dawkins and Wilt also goofed around with boxing. Both were absolute specimens, so who knows what either could have done had they really...
Well, stopwatches have been around since the mid-19th century. Jeffries would have been hand-timed in a hundred yard dash, which, unless done...

Well, Pac nearly KO'd JMM in the first round of their first fight, and he hammered Morales to the canvas in their second and third fights. So...
