It sounds like it was Hearns financial advisors/accountants/lawyers who were the big problem and not so much the hangers-on and leeches. If the...
This is a real interesting story I had never heard before. Bugner had weaknesses but he was a big strong guy with a concrete chin who fought many...
King Carlos wasn't a great fighter but styles make fights. I think Pryor was tailor made for Carlos. Pryor was quicker but easy to hit. Carlos was...
!. Joe Frazier 2. Sugar Ray Robinson 3. Pipino Cuevas 4. Bob Foster 5. Gerry Cooney A lot of great "hookers" here. I would say Cooney,...
I'd say Butterbean was the most intimidating heavyweight of all time. The sight of his flapping breasts brought strong men to their knees.

Very interesting thread on an unsung fighter. Shields had an interesting career no doubt. I do remember him stating Hearns hit harder than Cuevas....
While I don't think this one qualifies as the worst stoppage ever, when I watched this live, I couldn't believe ref let it go on so long. Seeing...
Let's say Alan Minter, coming off his destruction of Antuofermo in the summer of 1980, agrees to a megabucks fight against either newly crowned...
