I never got to see either boxer and I regret that as I respect them both very much. Just from what I have read and researched on each fighter I...
As I recall Jorge Fernandez, he wasn't ever a KO artist;just a tough strong slugger. I don't remember him stopping or knocking that many people...
I remember seeing Joey Archer on the old "Fight of the Week" telecasts back in the 60's. He was a good one. I too would pick him to outpoint...
What an entertaining fighter was Florentino Fernandez. I watched him many times on the old "Fight of the Week" back in the sixties and always...
He must have been able to whack pretty good to put Gene Fullmer on the floor. I read about this fight but never got to see Bobby Boyd in action.
The Carmen Basilio that fought SRR in the fall of 1957 would have given LaMotta a good fight. The Basilio of the Fullmer and Pender fights wasn't...
They were all great fighters but somehow I feel Luis Rodriguez might have been the best of the lot. He did better than the others against some of...
Luis Rodriguez had an impressive record against some great middleweights like Holly Mims,George Benton,Rubin Carter,Joey Giambra etc. He came...
Great matchup! From the things I have read and the film clips of the two that I have seen, I would pick Benny Leonard to outslick Armstrong. Henry...
How about Willi Besmanoff?
Has anyone noted how the judges had this fight scored at the time of the stoppage? It is interesting that the fight was even on the scorecards. If...
Who takes this one? Hearns sometimes had stamina problems in the later rounds. Could that be his undoing against Fullmer?
How about Dick Tiger? And Carmen Basilio although most will say he doesn't couint because he was really a welterweight.Giardello had a great chin...
I watched that fight last night also. I have always wanted to see this particular match again as I remember watching it back in 1961. Alex Miteff...
Brian London. His challenge of Ali was pathetic.I didn't see him in his title fight against Patterson. I guess he did a little bit better in that one.
