Zale defended his title against Abrams in 1941. Abrams would go on to fight Burley to a draw.
I think that Zale has been unfairly maligned as a 'duck'. He lost four years of his prime during the war. If anyone paid attention to the timeline...
There was no rule that about going to neutral corner at that point. What Dempsey did was completely legal as far as the ref was concerned. If it...
How does Tony Zale perform against: Charley Burley Holman Williams Lloyd Marshall Cocoa Kid Bert Lytell
That wasn't a violation of the rules. That was completely legal in that time. Dempsey's knockout of Carpentier was also an uppercut. You clearly...
The Willard fight, the Brennan fight and even the Firpo fight, Vicious uppercuts and body shots. Watch the Willard v Johnson fight. He was very...
Liston did not have better uppercuts nor was he a better body puncher. Willard was not a bad fighter at all. He had a good gas tank, was powerful...
Carl Morris Fred Fulton Jess Willard All over 6'3, 240+lbs
How long could Liston keep it up? Liston never went the full 15. Dempsey had all the tools you mentioned for Liston minus the 'ramrod jab'....
The Hearns fight wasn't exactly one-sided. I do suspect that there was some flattery in the Duran scorecard but it doesn't change the fact that...
I don't consider any fight after the 2nd Brennan contest to be peak Dempsey. Once Dempsey started getting serious money and became a draw he...
Moore has wins over Jack Chase, Lloyd Marshall, Holman Williams, Cocoa Kid, Shorty Hogue and Bert Lytell. That's far more impressive than Hagler's...
Dempsey had all but cleaned out the division when he fought Willard. Some of his title defenses were rematches. I do understand that the Wills...
1919 Dempsey was taller, had better footspeed and lateral movement, could fight on the inside, and wasn't afraid. He knocked out bigger men than...
Complete Nonsense. At least be rational about your prejudice.
