He did, yes, and it surely affected his performance. Conn, though, weighed 30 pounds less, which really is a testamanent to Billy's skills that he...
Middleweights, followed by welters, and then the heavies.
Plus he was on the cusp of beating Joe freakin' Louis until he got careless. Considering the significant weight difference, that is a great feat.
You had Emile Griffith, Dick Tiger, Joey Giardello, Joey Archer, Hurricane Carter, Nino Benvenuti, Sandro Mazzinghi, Luis Manuel Rodriguez, Kim...
Just want to add that Ingo's KO of Machen is freaking BRUTAL! Worse than Cooney-Norton and Mercer-Morrison as far as heavyweight knockouts go, in...
Benn would get caught a few times but I predict he'll brutally KO Jackson sometime in the middle rounds. This is a fight I'd pay to watch!
He wasn't a great, but that right hand ("Bingo") was the business!
If Spinks fought cautiously, he *could* win a decision. Michael was very slick, awkward and good on his feet. He'd stay at a distance and use his...
[MEDIA] What a round. Young gets hurt by a vicious Foreman left hook but is able to weather the storm and survive. Jimmy had a lot of heart to...
Ike was busier than Lyle and faster. He also went the distance (and won) in a phonebooth fight with prime David Tua so he clearly has the chin to...
I was surprised by the amount of punches he threw in this fight. Jimmy Young always seemed somewhat gun-shy to me but here he was really throwin'...
Battle of the fringe contenders! I'll take Snipes via a late-round TKO.
He was indeed. Perhaps the most skillful fighter I have ever seen. Billy Conn was no slouch himself, and fought competitively with Joe Louis for...
Actually I was thinking more Roy Jones and Billy Conn, but on second thought, Charles, Moore and Foster might get the job done as well.
I agree. Matthew was a great fighter but there are only a couple light heavies I would pick to beat Spinks and Saad ain't one of 'em.
