Tell that to the modern boys who weren't fighting every 3 frigging weeks! IMHO if the modern boys were fighting 12 times a year, their record...
Thanks so much Russell! I live in the past, the Gillette Friday nite fights, WWofSports in the 60's Saturday afternoon where, more often than not,...
Easy SweetPea! :) If you're talking Patterson he didn't 'hand pick' his fights, that was Cus's doing. And in Floyd's final fight (almost 38!) he...
Greetings ETM! Jake won ONE fight (early career) with The Greatest being substantially outweighed. They fought again 20 frigging days later (can...
I've got another insight into Emile's greatness. Only stopped twice? He came out 'ready to kill' Carter after Rueben's classless weigh in...
Me and my late boxing bud decided not to pay to watch it; which diminished watching it a few days later. Our reaction? "OMG, we should have paid...
Just some link 15-20 years ago. Jimmy also said it was the 'stupidest' punch he ever let himself get hit with.
Yeah, that ol' Steve from Puerto Rico could bang.
Another great one Red!! Happy 4th! Turned 65 Sunday but I can still pack a counterpunch wallop :) A couple of other things to consider about,...
Wasn't Floyd always a "cruiser weight"? Never scaled 200 in his career, maybe not even 195. And I'd still pick Floyd at LH against Foster even if...
Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any gentleman anymore. I remember weigh ins decades ago when the fighters smiled and shook hands. With few...
IMO? Greatest HW of all time; never saw that 67-70 Ali. IMO? After Zaire, he held all the cards and some of his "defenses" were not worthy of even...
A 38-41 Louis put in a time machine facing your guys in their prime? Sure, I'd agree some losses in there. But had any of your guys mentioned been...
My first thought was Shavers-Ellis; glad it was in there. I'd read that Jimmy actually vomited before leaving the ring.
Floyd could NEVER have remained a light heavy. He, quite simply, was the ultimate 'tweeny' which is why we love him so much!
