Willie DeWit, Out of Grand Prarie, Alberta had an extensive amateur background. In the lead up to the 1984 Olympics, he won the Heavyweight World...
He was the heavyweight champion of New Jersey, so the best of New Jersey level heavyweights. Meaning he was barely good enough to be an ancient...
Certainly not in my top 5. Not my favorite fight of 1980 even. But it's kinda refreshing to see a much hyped fight, that turned out to be a great...
Ali, after his exile was a much stronger fighter. In his fight against Ellis in late 71, he looked huge. Not fat but muscular, especially in his...
He's in my top 10 all time as well. While Patterson was defending against Rademacher or McNeeley, the real champion Liston was frozen out of a...
I agree Burt. While Dempsey is at a disadvantage IMO against some champions since that poll you reference was taken, I have no doubt of his...

I think not. Dempsey, would smash Smokin' Bert. Dempsey, has all the tools of a great fighter. Dempsey's speed and power will give Bowe all...
What?...From 1967 to 68 Jimmy Ellis defeated some of the best of the heavyweight division. He may have done better against Frazier if it wasn't...
It's easy to not like Mayweather on a personal basis, and let it cloud one's thinking on just how good Mayweather is, especially defensively. But...
