I’ve mentioned this one before, but I remember Tyson suggesting retirement at the post-fight press conference after his 91 second demolition of...
Hearns? DLH would’ve had to have moved up to light heavy or cruiserweight to do that.
The main thing that I remember De La Hoya for is that despite being a huge box office draw, he consistently challenged himself and took risks that...

Pretty much agree with the posts so far, which all make sense and are well thought out. It’s such a pleasure to read after having seen threads on...

The one I’d love to see is Hearns vs Bob Foster. Lanky power punchers…could easily go either way in my opinion.
