I haven't seen anything to suggest this. Care to point me to a match you deem suited for becoming enamored with Liston? Footspeed was never his...
Harry Greb vs Tunney I. Joe Gans vs Sam Langford. Ray Robinson vs Sammy Angott. Those come to mind.
Burt's opinions are invaluable to me because of his advanced age and willingness to share -- instead of a young boxing fan looking back, Burt was...
Antonio Margarito, to name a lesser fighter. Not only could he walk through extreme punishment, he did it while putting on tremendous pressure,...
Imo Robinson belongs in that upper tier of middleweights. I think he'd do better versus Hearns than Hagler, and better vs Hagler than Monzon....
As if Robinson would seek to outpoint Hearns. Fast hands, great puncher, great feet, it would be the easier road to try and decapitate Hearns....
Lennox Lewis. If not him, George Foreman. I'd feel pretty good about it, too. What would I stand to win?
Frazier's discipline aside, I don't think there are more than a handful fighters who could have kept going after their opponent and not waver...
Pipino Cuevas? I think you mean Wilfredo Benitez. I think both are massive wins, but Wilfredo Gomez was thought of even more highly than Hearns...
I think he'd lose more than he'd win, to be honest. Then again, a good chin and punch goes a long way in the heavyweight division.
I just realized another disadvantage Marquez has in this match -- most anyone can put a counter on Pryor. It comes with the territory for him.
Marquez is brilliant but he isn't the biggest 140-pound fighter around. His perfect professional, gritty mindset can only get you so far against...
Beautiful, wasn't it, to see Sanders work methodically behind that jab. A truly patient operator. Shame he never tried shooting right-hand...
Of course he could hurt Duran seriously, Aaron Pryor is an excellent fighter. It's just that more likely that he'll be hurt first, because his...
I'm not saying Briggs accomplished more than Bruno -- but when Bruno could not work at his methodical pace, he could cover up and hope for the...
