It's a largely untested theory, but Patterson was potentially an ATG at 175 in a different era. There aren't many fighters of his natural size and...
It has a Foreman-Frazier feel to me. Barrett was all wrong for Tyson, which is why he ducked him for so long.
Working from memory, and it’s not an exact science, but was the win over Kinchen properly recognised as a title win at the time? My recollection...
It's a curious one with Leonard. Despite being the first guy to win titles in five different weight classes <insert footnotes and annotations>, he...
Yes. Too much. Leonard wasn't a great super-middle, and was very beatable at that weight, at that point in his career. Froch had trouble with...
Mutt and Jeff match-ups can create weird style clashes. With the differences in reach in this one, you almost have two different fights. At range...
I don't recall there being too much buzz on his comeback, even before the losses to Barrett. The losses to Lewis and Byrd had shown his...
Tough match-up to visualise. They were both squat guys well under 6', but going by the recorded heights Galento would have 2-3'' on Qawi. However,...
It’s a fair point about Bowe’s weight in that by far his best win came when he weighed under 240. Looking beyond his weight, he was clearly a...
Buddy Baer also would fit the size criteria, but again you’d have to be pretty loose with the defintion of “elite”.
Bowe and Lewis were the first elite super heavies. They obviously both fought at the same Olympics, and their careers virtually ran parallel. if...
As things turned out, it would have provided more clarity. Either Tucker has a notable win that gives him more legitimacy, or Spinks has a much...
Gomez’ 32 fight KO streak is notable, and he maintained his high KO percentage during a lengthy reign at 122. KO percentages tend to drop off at...
Spinks was a great gameplan fighter. Where there was a method available for him to get the W, he would have a pretty decent chance of executing...
It's safe to say that the version to beat Tyson would have to be significantly better than the one who did fight him in 88. Obviously prime...
