Both short right hand shots that did the damage too I believe. Tyson’s KO’d Botha and Ali’s scrambled Lyle leaving him defenceless to a marauding...
As they got older, especially Ali, the tough fights were more frequent…older Tyson didn’t have as many but what tough fights he had, he lost. So...
Thanks for the memories Rummy. Back then nobody was labelling Tyson a 6/7 round fighter like many label him retrospectively…and wrongly in my...
Sanderline Williams had a little run in 1990. I mean, seriously, this bunch in just one year…ONE YEAR… and not being stopped or KO’d eithe! He...
Your statement reminds me of the brilliant and almost unbeatable 200m and 400m legend Michael Johnson. His running style is all wrong they said,...
No dog in my house but there’s a cat, and a couple of goldfish. So I’d bet my kids’ goldfish on a Holmes points win. I can see Larry having to...
1989…Hearns had just outclassed SRL though the official result was a draw. I was watching with a university pal of mine. My pal: “Tommy Hearns...
I’d seen fights in the 70s and very early 80s as a small kid/bigger kid, that I enjoyed watching, but the fight that gripped my attention more...
Great post. This lad Robinson was a half decent fighter, that’s for sure!
Frank Bruno with the punch/punishment resistance and excellent recuperative powers of Ali. He’d be a problem for anybody when you combine his...
So much to say about this one but I’ll keep it short and sweet as it’s my son’s birthday and if I don’t hurry up and help to prepare for his party...
Agreed Fergy, and on top of the poor chin, a lousy all round defence. However on the plus side he was quick with reasonable power so I could see...
Flipping Bivol. Never mind Marciano I want to see him deal with the best 175 puncher of his own generation before he enters the Time Machine to...
Anyway to answer the question…Does Joe stand a chance? He’d be the favourite if only because of Herbie’s terrible stage fright and less than iron...
Loving your style haha!
