Fast twitch muscle fibres?
Another vote for Pinky. Probably gets rocked at some point but rallies for a win by stoppage.
I agree. People get too hung up on weight. David Haye weighs more than a prime Joe Frazier, but who is the naturally bigger man?
Ali rated Liston very highly. I remember a Ring interview where he said Liston "could do everything but dance"; he really respected Liston's skills.
Didn't Reg Gutteridge mention in the earlier clip that they had SPARRED and Ali had been dropped by Foster? I have to admit, I have never heard...
Spot on.
Cheers! I'd pick Mercer, too. I think he was slightly more versatile, although that might not be the first word you associate with him!
A couple spring to mind for me. 1. Quarry engaging Frazier in a slugfest, when he was a very good counter puncher. 2. Hagler "boxing" Sugar...
:lol:
Who would prevail in this battle of chunky heavyweights?
Carmen Basilio.
In virtually ANY category!!
I don't necessarily mean illegal drugs, Seamus, but I seriously doubt Vlad is achieving those results on 3 Weetabix, either! That's not a knock...
Joe Frazier. Joey Giardello. Bob Foster. Buster Douglas. All had effective footwork for their style.
I don't think a Sonny Liston on PEDs and a weight training program would weigh 212lbs, mate.
