Mustapha would be too strong and relentless over the distance. Also, he was scared of no man in the ring and one of Tony's biggest weapons was the...
Has anyone anywhere ever asked Pipino Cuevas about this? The man is still alive and, last I heard, fit and healthy. I would discount anything any...
Tyson is just a dog. Frazier would take his heart and kick his ass all over the ring.
Saad was an excellent fighter with a heart as big as an arena. In his prime, before he was affected by all his wars, he would have given a tough...
I think Ali would have easily handled Bobick in 1977 and stopped him. Too many clean right hands, even from a faded Ali, would have been too much...
I think this is a ridiculous statement. Zarate was an all-time great, often considered one of the best bantamweights of all time. An all-time...
I remember Billy Backus stated that Pipino Cuevas' punches felt like "he had rocks in his gloves." I would take that to mean that the punches were...
I read in a magazine sometime in the 80's that Cuevas had rotator cuff problems in his "pitching" arm, his left. If true, could this be one reason...
Well, Rocky never beat a great fighter who was in his prime so, to me, that disqualifies him from any mention as an all-time great. Wasn't his...
Love it! Thanks for posting.
Why is Hagler always listed as 5'9 1/2"? He's clearly much shorter. On this YouTube clip, Mugabi is listed as only 5'8 1/2" and he towers over...
And I'm still curious where Dempsey's reputation comes from. Seriously, he massacred a cumbersome giant who couldn't fight his way out of a paper...
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Ron Lyle yet. He's kind of a favorite here and he would combine 2 favorite genres, prison and boxing movies.
Michael Spinks as a Lt. Hvy. might also fit in this category.Devastating puncher but past their prime fighters like Yaqui Lopez and Marvin Johnson...
I believe Ali claimed it was the hardest single punch he ever threw. That, combined with Oscar's fatigue, made for the ending here.
