That's not true. Taking numbers at face value in sports is every bit as reductive as simply relying on myth.
But at the same time both guys were so good that they were unable to adjust tactically. Against hearns when he was losing the fight Ray changed...
I have a ring magazine with darrin van horn on the cover. He was described as having "unlimited potential". Frank childs was a Texan. I know who...
I don't see how "Ray choose to slug it out with Duran" is any less of a strategic misstep than Duran blowing up between fights. Either way the...
Well as regards to oaf, a lot of good and great heavyweights were oafs. Marciano was crude, Baer was vulgar, Lewis before Steward almost fell...
He was a legitimate oaf and quite possibly a fraudulent champion but I think Carnera paid his dues in the world level.
I think that McGrain intentionally misspelled Luis to get our attention. It worked. Although the most fascinating thing is how low people are on...
One thing we almost never mention. In his first career which spanned a dozen years Ray went 131-3-2. His other two losses were to fighters who...
Neither guy is getting stopped for sure. I think I would pick Basilio as he was the better fighter and I don't see Palomino as having a stylistic...
I would have to rewatch it again but I have a write up of Louis Vs Schmeling 2 and he did two things. One, defensively when he threw a single jab...
I love Arguello. I don't think he was better than Olivares but I'll five him the edge based on how much I like the look of him on footage.
I can't believe this pick...
Ali was already suffering from brain damage. Louis barely lost/beat Jersey Joe Walcott a top 20ish heavyweight. There's a world of difference.
I don't feel like reading the thread but when Jones fought Ruiz the cruiser weight limit was 190. Technically there was no minimum weight; Charley...
The medel fights are great. Pretty much anything pre Harada is good. Sometimes the legra fight shows up and that's past peak but legra was a...
