The fact that it is so tough to score is precisely why I believe a strong arguement can be made that Bowe deserved the decision. Several rounds...
Does anyone else think Bowe deserved the decision in the second fight?
It is ridiculous to recognize Foreman as the legitimate HW champ when Briggs "beat" him in 1997. Foreman hadn't fought any top contenders in the...
Why is this relevant? Frazier ended up beating the guys who performed best in that tournament.
It's amazing that supposedly glass-jawed Frazier went three brutal fights with Muhammad Ali without getting knocked down. I also wonder how many...
If Foreman regained the title in his 40s by handing the seemingly invincible Tyson his first loss, people would be making arguments for Foreman as...

Different fighters with different styles are going to peak at different ages (for instance, a boxer like Holmes was perhaps at his peak in his...
Say what you will about Louis' trouble with guys who moved, but he in the end he defeated them. Ali actually lost to Norton, so the situation is...

1. I agree that Ali wasn't at the absolute peak of his powers, but I generally consider 1964-1975 to be the prime of his career. That's when he...
