A couple of threads recently have pointed out a curious phenomenon that I think is misrepresented, or of which I do not understand the definition....
The amateurs never get mentioned on this board so I thought I would bring it up. Who were some fighters with great amatuer careers that ended up...
Louis didn't have the footwork to beat Ali. Ali would not stand still and trade punches like so many of Joe's opponents, but would move about and...
OMG, that is one of the craziest and most idiotic clips I have seen. Would have been great if he was dropped by one of them.
Leonard certainly does not get mentioned enough on this forum. Tyson also gets overlooked or is not given enough respect. Granted, after his...

I found the concept of the "Marciano vs. Charles" thread to be interesting. Rating a fighters victories based upon their difficulty/significance....
10s? Really 10s? His wins over Charles are good but certainly not of the level of Frazier's win over Ali. Not even close. Ali was past his prime...
Anyone else think Jack Dempsey has a good shot at this? He was certainly tough enough and his aggressive starts would make for few fights that...
