You're not at all discouraged by the fact that Max Schmeling started his pro career at light-heavy and Ezzard Charles at middleweight, and it...
Intriguing. Taking it literally, "the last few weeks" implies that Williams was #1 until his gunshot wound less than three weeks before this was...
I don't think so, although when I thought about the question I realised that I can't find complete WBA listings for the end of September 1964, and...
Thank you. Buried somewhere near the end of that paragraph-free rant is an acknowledgement that your claim that Miteff and Daniels were only ever...
Not really. Go ahead and point out the ratings body which only ever rated Miteff (or Daniels) for "a month or two here and there".
Are you absolutely sure you want to stick with the claim that Alex Miteff was only ever rated for "a month or two here and there"?
I think it's a stretch to imagine that Robinson was scared off by the prospect of a 6-round exhibition against Cocoa Kid, who was in his mid...
I'm not 100% on the period, but Shavers was back in the ratings at #9 at the end of April 1975, so I imagine he was ranked when he fought Lyle in...
This was indeed a mystery. After his creditable losing effort against Jerry Quarry Middleton was ranked 8th by the WBA. During the ensuing six...
It would be interesting to know where that quote actually comes from. People repeat it all the time, but the only source seems to be a magazine...
This was one of the rare occasions when the Ring and NBA ratings were in full agreement. At the start of September 1958 they both had Machen at...
Marshall's recollections of the Liston fights tended to be a bit fanciful. The truth is the second meeting was signed on 12 April. Marshall got...
Without a scrap of evidence. Against Newton he was hampered by a ruptured blood vessel in his lower eyelid which is a nasty injury but not the...
As McVey says, it's completely untrue that "amateur boxing was almost non existing" in Louis's time. Since you're interested, it's also untrue...
It was hard to pick out one thing from all the other nonsense you've written, but this was the one that really caught my eye. Even including an...
