Anyone who mentions Holmes giving up his title and doesn't say a word about Holmes signing for a big unification fight with Coetzee instead is...
Because that run ended so suddenly and anti-climatically, and his entire career along with it. It's rather ironic that Klaus battled so hard and...
It was JT who CRITICIZED (and rightfully so IMO) the very same use of hindsight that you are using here. Except when they were in the ring...
Holmes spent nearly all of '84 trying to make a unification fight with Coetzee, which was probably the biggest and best HW fight he could've taken...
Exactly. I'm surprised it took so long into this thread for someone to make such an obvious point. Cooney probably has the most overrated "big...
Actually, he made somewhere between $2.7 and 3.1 million for fighting Frazier. Exactly. Accusing Holmes of "ducking" Page by giving up the WBC...
Because he made even more than that fighting Frazier, and had the potential to make several times more than that for a big unification fight with...
It was a very close fight in which Mustafa landed more of the clean punches, but Kacar outworked him, particularly in the last few rounds....
Agreed 100%. I think if that was anyone other than Chuvalo there wouldn't be any "controversy" at all about the stoppage. It's mainly...
Zale vs. Martinez could be an interesting fight. Chavez should present no greater difficulties than Hostak did. Other than that, who else is...
Indeed it was. If you pretend Ali's fights with Frazier, Liston, Foreman, Norton, Jones, Cooper, Moore, Lavorante, Daniels, Powell, Liston,...
:lol: You dropped the ball right there. Which 28 of Zivic's fights are you referring to? And what about Jefferson's "headjobs" against Harris?...
Huh? What the hell did YOU ever do to save this thread?? I was the only one who actually made a PREDICTION, damnit!! :nono
Only in that bottom picture does he look genuinely UNHEALTHY, though. In the middle pics, he just looks like a guy who let himself go as he got...
There was nothing in that fight to "remember" in the first place. I don't need to watch it again to remember how wretchedly dull and sloppy it...
