Ali had Parkinson's SYNDROME (or simply "Parkinsonism"), which can be caused by chronic brain injury, whether from blunt force trauma, drug abuse,...
I agree with all of those except for speed. Briggs in his prime had really quick hands, especially when you consider his size. Lyle's speed never...
I know it's almost sacrilegious to say in hindsight given how great of a fight it was, but Mike Weaver challenging Larry Holmes. Weaver was 19-8...
"The official time will be 2:58 of the 12th round -- he knocked him out with TWO SECONDS LEFT!" - Jim Lampley calling Chavez-Taylor I "I would be...
I'm sorry but this response in particular had me cracking up: [MEDIA] A good satirical example of the hero worship that exists in boxing fandom...

In terms of sheer ability, I'd say Greg Page. Watch his fights against the likes of Stan Ward, Marty Monroe and Alfredo Evangelista. Guy looked...
Honestly I don't see Young boding well against swarmers, at least elite-level swarmers like Frazier or Tyson. I think he is tailor-made for them.
The most hotly debated fantasy fight in a few years' time will be the epic Ron Lyle vs. Cleveland Williams bout. It'll shake this forum up more...
What a shame to see how far Page had diminished by this point. He had such natural ability and potential to be a great but by this time he was...
By 2040, Lyle's name will take the place of Sonny Liston when it comes to the standard to which heavyweight boxer-punchers will be held.
I can see Lyle *maybe* beating 2002 and onward Tyson. Peak Tyson obliterates Lyle and '90s Tyson busts him up too, just not as spectacularly....
Are there any notable stories you are aware of about Foreman being mean or a bully, outside of the examples already mentioned?
Jones-Griffin II is my favorite as far as technique and skill are concerned. The KO punch was sheer perfection. Peak Roy Jones Jr. was truly...
