I have to agree with this. And most years Chuvalo was a very active fighter. But much of that activity, percentage wise, was against below average...
I find it interesting that there are (apparently) fake fights on his record, especially the last two with Billy Daniels (where BoxRec has another...
I'm going with Golota. Both consistently found ways to lose the big ones, but I don't think Golota would've been intimidated by Bugner.
Holyfield didn't duck anyone. He didn't fight Bruno because the timelines didn't work out. Frank was either waiting on other big fights (Tyson,...
Ali - Liston II. I've been angry about the way this was handled for years. We still see posts from time to time that Tyson knocked out Douglas,...

I re-watched Witherspoon - Bruno last night. Here was Frank Bruno, body beautiful, well-trained, having success early on. But Tim Witherspoon was...
I was thinking this, too. Walkout music is a relatively recent gimmick, though it could be argued that it's a 40+ year old tradition. Still,...
Home county: Dayton Titus, Jesse Strawn, Wilbert "Junior" Albers Step-sister's current hometown: Eddie Machen, and Joe Bugner lived there for a while.
When I read "knocked out cold", I think of John Tate against Mike Weaver or Ingemar Johansson vs. Floyd Patterson. Speaking of, Tate went 14-2...
