Hmmm, Tarver does get me thinking - though Tarver is a lot less active with his fists. I really don't know now ;)
Hmmm, I think I now have a good idea regarding which mod moved my long thread on the pitfalls of BoxRec-gazing to the dustbin - I mean the...
He looked that way only after he absorbed a beating in round 2.
Yeah, I agree with all of that; Duran's rounds were close, and Leonard's were not. But this is a lot like their first fight. So we have two close...
I had it 4-3. I am kind of confused by your account. Didn't the fight end at round 8 - so there were only 7 scored rounds? Or am I already senile...

I don't think Hearns and Trinidad are comparable - aside from the two things you mention: power and chin. Hearns was a tall, rangy, fast guy with...
Yes, and that speaks volumes when even your coach doesn't think your guy is better. I am reminded of when Jimmy Johnson said Barry Sanders was a...
Yes, every time I watch footage of him, I am amazed at how sophisticated and diverse his ****nal was - contrary to certain depiction of him as a...
