Ali's jab was lightning but he didn't have the combination punching ability of Tyson and Patterson.
You're right that it would be the first young, in-shape contender on Vitali's resume. It all comes down to Peter's performance...
I agree with Sweat Pea on this one. Toney is/was an excellent fighter, and his resume is deceptive for how good he actually was, but IMO he's...
Carnera would beat him handily, I think. Valuev is too passive.
He would definately hold one of the alphabet titles. I, personally, would love to see a W.Klitschko-Carnera matchup. I'm not a huge fan of...
Chin also comes with balance and focus. Foreman was a very stationary fighter in his comeback. His main problem in the Lyle brawl was that he...
Excellent analysis, it's a shame that Tyson has to get sold so short in his second career though. You made the right picks, I think, but Tyson...
He loses against any decent contender. It's a different story at SMW or LHW, though.
Just curious, what do you define as Dempsey's prime? Also out of curiousity, I wonder what Dempsey's record against ranked (or at least,...
Do you think he carried people the distance? Either way, the record shows that if you could make it past round 6 with Dempsey, you probably...
Toney was a respectable hitter, though, but I think what Bill means is that a James Toney with ZERO punching power would still have been a great...
Even if we do call him durable, though, does anyone here think he's as good as Tyson? He was the only guy that Dempsey knocked out late.
Just like Foreman-Chuvalo.
We also have to keep in mind that fighters fight to the level of their opponents. To use George Foreman as an example, well he looked fabulous...
Time for some serious dissection. Are you serious? Tunney's resume at HW is EXTREMELY thin. He doesn't even have quality over Ali...nobody...
