Could have. I'd bet on Foreman, unless I had good odds. But Quarry beat basically everybody he had to beat to prove he'd have a live shot at Foreman.
I wouldn't go that far. He was typically the #3 or #4 best guy around for his 70s stretch, with some combination of Ali, Foreman, Frazier, and...
Yep. Very well put. It could even be something stupid, like one of the Baers catching him with a lucky punch at just the right time. Not likely,...
Liston's reach was long, but this forum's traditional longer-than-Wilder-Wlad-Bowe-or-Vitali 84" doesn't seem plausible. I could buy around the...
There's also the effect of raw chance. Over 20+ title bouts, you're going to run into a Buster Douglas, a Rahman, or a Ken Norton sometime. A guy...

On the four rounder thing: Shouldn't Dempsey's tendency to start quickly and blast a guy out help him in a four rounder?
An elite professional fighter is more likely to make a good point than random internet people are.
Yeah, it's not an insane opinion that suggests he's trolling people. And if he's serious, then it's well to bear in mind that he's better...
The tricky thing is that boxing professionalized very early. It was a massive sport by the Depression. I don't think tennis during, say, Bill...
