Foxy and Black Cloud bring up a point that I've always felt would give Ali the edge over his predecessors, that he could land his punches from a...
Good point Foxy...but Ali had some pop in his punches nonetheless. I'd rate him around a 6 or a 7 on the power scale. Ali had hand problems also...
Hmmm..I'm trying to think how Charles could beat a prime Ali but try as I might I just don't see how. Technically speaking you could make the...

it's a tie between Minter and Sibson imo. Both fights illustrate what a good technician Hagler was. He was much more than a puncher with a good...
From what I've read, Sharkey would be a tough night for anyone especially if you stood in front of him. I just wish there was good film footage of...
Good point Burt. Both men hit hard but when you factor in things such as speed, timimg and accuracy then I would say dempsey is the harder...
Holyfield by decision or possible late round stoppage. He just has too much of everything for Baer to overcome. Baer had a potent right hand, good...
