1981 pre-Norton, pre-cocaine Cooney takes out 2004 Golota. 1996 Golota possibly takes it, but if Cooney hangs tough the way he did against...
These are the kind of fantasy fights I can get behind. No time machine needed. In most scenarios I'd favor Witherspoon. But if Berbick was up and...
I think Foreman was one of three opponents Ali was afraid of losing to during his career (the others being Liston I and Norton II). Ali trained...

Interesting premise. I think 1975 was a good year for Ali with Lyle, Bugner, and Frazier, all guys we talk about on the forum regularly. And four...
A couple of people have mentioned picking up a belt against Berbick, but even if Lewis does and Tyson has to fight for another of the split titles...
