I thought some folks might be interested in watching these two fights. Chong-pal Park v. Kyung-min Na II is the first fight (you actually see a...
Yes; Duran looked small even against Benitez - who won is first title at 140. To say that Duran was a "physically strong" 154 pounder is simply...
In a lot of fights at the heavier weights Duran was in fact pushed around early, before the accumulated punches sapped his opponents' strength;...
The Cuevas fight is now a real stretch; come on, you know better! ;) Cuevas was himself moving up, didn't look like he belonged at the weight, and...

I tend to think Frazier would have given Ali tremendous trouble even if Ali were at his absolute peak. I think I recall Dundee or Pacheco once...
No need to employ the "f" word, albeit in abbreviated form. First, I put a smiley emote there, and it was obviously in jest. Second, I don't think...
