The '60s middleweight division is so underrated and overlooked. I rarely hear it mentioned compared to, say, the '70s heavyweights...
Tunney gets thoroughly whooped. Prime Ali has the advantage in just about every department.
I was gonna make a joke about Tyson making Foreman see Jesus, but I forgot Jimmy Young did that already...
Great post, and I totally agree with you about the '70s. A good decade no doubt, but one looked upon with rose-colored glasses by many boxing scribes.

That is a murderer's row of KO victims right there. Prime Shavers, who was stopped in one round by the monstrous puncher Quarry; Ramos, whom Lyle...
All good points. The intricacies of this fantasy match-up make it quite fascinating. It's one of the reasons it's been a hotly contested argument...

Wut. That was a tough read, but to address some of your points (I'm not going point by point through this ramble): Firstly, how was Ruddock not...
Thanks! Totally agree with you.
Fair assessment. I think, though, that Mike would be able to handle Foreman's power, at least for a few rounds. I mean, he went 19 rounds against...
Tyson had good workrate too. He maintained consistency in his fights that went the distance, i.e. Tillis, Green and Tucker. Even in the Douglas...
Sorry Rules, but I immensely disagree with you on several points. First, Tyson was better offensively than Frazier because he had two-fisted...
