I don't like the inconclusive nature of it: a fighter may win because he's much heavier when he gets in the ring or because the opponent was...
In principle it's not about Ali or any one boxer. You want to sidetrack the discussion into one about Ali's hypothetical H2H ability against...
I just think it's silly how many believe that greatness and H2H ability between generations are related. If you could clone Louis and Marciano and...
I don't know about sub-heavyweight boxing but modern weight manipulation is ruining the weight classes in my opinion. Back in the day a...

Zhang-Hrgovic was 50-50 according to fan scoring but Zhang probably did 70%+ of the damage. This wasn't the Zhang who fought Forrest or whoever....
