I miss coming home & there being boxing on in the middle of the week. Not just big hyped fights but …. Boxing. I miss it being a sport I could...
I think Ali was flat for this fight. He’d really been grinding away since the Frazier fight & he had to be tired of waiting for a title shot....
I remember those fights. Camacho got dropped for the first time. Foreman got rocked in the 1st against Carlos Hernandez before stopping him in 4.

Frazier is a tough fight for nearly every pre-Lennox Lewis heavyweights. He’d have a great shot against Louis I think I’d favor him against...
I haven’t watched this in years but it popped up today on YouTube. Looks like the thumb might’ve happened in the last 10 seconds of the first as...
Frazier would be competitive against most great heavyweights. He’d struggle mightily against the massive guys like Lennox & the Klitchkos....

I think he fought everyone that was a legit contender. I guess it might’ve been interesting to have seen him fight someone like Tommy Morrison or...
I remember going to school & people talking about Mancini, or Hagler. When Tyson came on the scene, he came up often. I can’t remember the last...
I don’t think I realized how close this fight actually was on the cards. If Duran had actually been in real shape, could he have still won given...
