Good points, but I think you don't give the fall of the color line in the late 1930's the impact it deserves. For me, this seems to have raised...
I agree mainly with what you are posting. I think Greb would have fought Tunney again if the money was right. The problem for me is was how...
I accept that there are good counter arguments. But are Holmes, Hagler, and Leonard viewed as a level above the previous decade's Ali, Monzon,...
"When did Tunney back out of the contract?" This is a very good question. Until and unless Tunney signs it is not a contract. A contract is an...

Nothing suspicious. two left hooks in that flurry appeared to do the damage. The first stunned Olson and more or less made him a target. The...
"Robinson became the first boxer to regain the World Middleweight Title" ????? Tony Zale. And Robinson himself in 1951.
I go with those who post Willard didn't show much of anything except in outlasting Johnson in a finish fight. Carnera isn't going to stop him....
