Kinda reminds me of Holyfield in the late 90's/early 2000's. Dude got a ridiculous number of title shots even after losing. That's a good...
This is a great point. Sometimes tragedy, a rough life, poor decisions, etc ironically make a person into the stellar athlete they are in the...

Never said anything about Parker easily just dancing circles around Louis all night, only that his combination of size, skill, and footwork...

Not necessarily. Ali was 35 lbs heavier than Billy Conn, and yet he was faster. It depends on the fighter's athleticism and how much of that...
If this is the younger Parker who used his legs, this could be a frustrating night for Louis. Parker is bigger and stronger than both Billy Conn...
Idk, it would probably resemble the Tua fight. Oscar could be very awkward and sometimes cagey with a very good chin. Lewis hesitated to open up...
Certainly no one is stopping him early (like the first 3 rounds), and certainly not with a clean 1 punch KO. His chin was incredible and he had a...
