Regarding guys like Cooney and Biggs being maybe pushed into title fights, against dominant champions, before they were "ready", what about Alex...
In all seriousness, I suppose the slick Zanon could last a few rounds with an off-night Tyson, frustrating Mike in the process. But ultimately any...
I'm a linealist. I think the boxing organizations are crooked beyond belief and shouldn't be looked at as legitimate. The oldest alphabet title...
I think Philipp Brown was a sort of set up. He'd been Cooney's sparring partner - and, yes, fighting a former sparring partner IS a tradition in...
Was Sonny Liston cheated in the Ali rematch because he was never given a count? It's certainly possible that he didn't get up right away because...
As the choices say, was it against Berbick for the WBC title, since the WBC is a legitimate world boxing organization? Was it against Smith for...
A better comparison is that LeDoux and Frazier both fought Foreman in 1976, two months apart. Frazier lasted longer than LeDoux then. I wouldn't...
Interesting article. I'm imagining Fleischer's tale-telling in the voice of Higgins from Magnum P.I. (the original series). But I wonder... what...
Wow. What a way to start. My first fight was Ali-Coopman. But in spite of that, I kept coming back.
Power color, maybe. Blue or black. Always velvet, not satin. Early on he sometimes wore white with presumably black stripes and waist. I know in...
Bump... Probably a boring subject, but for some reason I've always been fascinated with this and thought as a kid what color trunks I'd wear when...
Curry was one of those guys who looked great for a little while, but ultimately didn't pan out. 1984 Curry beats 1984 Leonard. 1987 Leonard...
December 1969 was interesting. First we had Martin upset Liston. Six days later we had Chuvalo upset Quarry. A week after that, the Ellis-Peralta...
In an earlier post I went for the Gomez fight. And I still do. But I find it extraordinary that Sanchez beat the next three WBC titleholders who...
Both crooked. King put on great big-time cards from the seventies on. Overall he put on the better big events. Not that Arum didn't put on some...
