Another question would be: Why do we auto assume 60/70s(esp 70s) fighters weren't on gear? It kinda seems like a golden time to be roiding since...
Carlos Monzon, the heartless machine who just walked you down inevitably, made all the more terrifying by his out of the ring persona.
Liston, Ronnie is a bit too wooden for this matchup. A tough chin and a good punch can go a long way, but it wasn't enough for demoralized Foreman...
Yeah sorry, you're arguing you own strawman at this point as i never even touched on Joe's all-time standing.
And are you talking about a guy who got punted out of the ring by Buddy Baer? Battered by Schmeling? Seriously, let's not pretend Joe was some...

Beterbiev. Wrestling? Spoiling? Good luck doing that vs the roided out bear that is AB. Would expect him to do a number on Johnson's stamina with...
Toney can definitely survive the fight. He can do very well i believe - he's a noted counter-puncher who thrives in situations like this. Jirov...
Eh, for what it's worth, we have some anecdotes from West Coasters experimenting with test in late-mid 40's which are consistent with De Kruif's...
There's honestly an argument they were in pretty heavy use ever since early 40's - Grimek's FFMI inexplicably jumped from formiddable, but still...
I really enjoy your fighter write-ups, please do more.
Butterbean's one from Tua/Tony G ilk, he's from their cloth. Same build, iron chin, devastating left hook. A very dangerous type of fighter. And...
Epic stuff, thanks for this!
That would probably require a horse dosages of Tren, but oh boy would that be a sight to behold. Might rival the legendary calf-lifting,...
Bit of a left field take, but maybe Sam Peter? He had the punch, dude's chin is legendary, strong as an ox, he's big enough not to get shoved...
