Yes, and I think he was only in his early 20s if my memory serves correct.
Bang on. Remember poor Johnny Owen going a terrific 12 rounds with Lupe Pintor? It was back in late 1980, I watched the fight and was appalled at...
Pretty sure he would beat Quarry, Ellis and Patterson. He may struggle with Lyle at first, but would probably get there eventually. Bugner and...
You leave yourself a bit open if you use it as a lead shot. Much better to use it when you have an opponent hurt or reeling. As said, its not that...

Some worthy ones already mentioned, so, not the worst draw of all time, but one bout that sticks in my mind is the Joe Frazier vs Floyd Cummings...
Holmes had a style tailor made for Mike Tyson. Even a past prime Tyson would convincingly KO the Larry Holmes of 1978-85
Never in a million years could Marciano beat the AJ of today.
