No doubt. With time to prepare and elite conditioning, Puritty would be a tough fight for anybody. The guy punched hard and was as tough as...
Holmes fought one southpaw, Nick Wells 2X, Wells stopped Holmes twice. Both fights were in the amateurs. Holmes might have gotten better later...
To me this one is obvious, Foreman early or Tunney late. By late, anytime after 5 rounds. Foreman was too tense and tired noticeably in the 70s....
There was no PED testing in Norton's time. Fighters in the 70s didn't have to worry about PED amounts, masking agents, etc. It was wide open in...
I think you are right. I knew a guy who fought a lot of the best heavyweights of the 50s-60s. He trained at Gleason's and Stillman's in NYC. He...
I don't know what was in Ali's mind when he was sparring Holmes, but I'm skeptical that any fighter allows himself to be beaten up, whether it is...
Ali thought he could win and so did a lot of sports writers, bettors, and fans. There is/was a video of Ali and Holmes sparring from around 1974...
It's funny to hear the commentators saying that Dutra had a suspect chin. Dutra was a kill or be killed fighter. He was all offense, he didn't...
Norton was down against Harold Dutra (197 lbs), Jimmy Gilmore, and Aaron Eastling(191 lbs). These are just the ones listed on BoxRec, before he...
Lemieux is a big puncher and he would be a Light Heavy/Heavy in Briscoe's time, Briscoe would be a 140/47 in Lemieux's time. They are not the...
Bobby Jordan was a better fighter than his record shows, but probably didn't have the management or the money to move his career. He finished...
Wasn't Toney an All American high school football player? A 200 pound running back? He probably lost weight to box so that he wouldn't be giving...
Mathis dwarfed Frazier and he seemed to have a nice jab and movement. But did you see the right uppercut BM threw at about 15 seconds from way...
Good video. Mathis looked like he had good fundamentals and technique. For that fight with Stallings in 1965, he won a UD and he weighed over...
There probably are not any/many managers of contenders who would accept Jalolov as an opponent. Maybe Bakole's team would fight him because...
