16 years ago today Vernon Forrest was murdered. Vernon was known as a very good person that did a lot of charity work. Fantastic fighter.
Wow! I forgot all about Floyd Cummings. From what I remember about him, he could punch but that's about it. He never beat a ranked guy that I...
I loved them both but I have to go with the speed/athleticism of Martinez to win a UD. Castro was tougher than a two dollar steak but the natural...
Yeah, it was over as soon as he broke his hand. It seemed like after the first round, he was just done physically and mentally. Had he started...
Agreed. They both more or less wore their opponents down. Both could definitely crack, but they weren't necessarily one shot KO guys.
It very well could have ended that way. Honestly, that's sort of what happened in Hearns/Leonard I. I just think Tommy was at his best on the...
Very true. I remember that shot that snapped Pryor's head back. You have a great point. Maybe the fight was decided more by Pryor's chin that...
You hit the nail on the head. Watching Hagler Hearns live with my dad was one of the craziest fights I ever saw but AA/Pryor definitely has way...
When Toney beat Nunn, Nunn had just beaten Tate, Roldan, Kalambay, Barkley, Starling and Curry back to back. That is a crazy tough run of...
I don't know if I agree on any of these. Fury and Vitali hit plenty hard. Chavez had an iron chin.
This is the best example yet. AA definitely wasn't the same at 140. He landed tons of right hands in that fight that ended dudes at 130/135.
If fairness, nobody ever cracked Toney's egg. If Sam Peter couldn't KO him in 24 rounds, no one could. Power doesn't matter against a guy as...
But guys were simply tougher back in the 20's. Nevermind that Dempsey weighed 185 pounds, size doesn't matter and boxing hasn't evolved....
John, do you remember when Futch stopped working with Bowe? I kind of remember Futch very publicly bashing Bowe for being lazy kind like when Ray...
I could see Eddie having Rocky bobbing and weave more. The best thing about Futch was the defensive side of the game that he brought to the...
