I can’t see Marvin conceding a meet-in-the-middle (no pun intended) weight, even though I think he could make it pretty handily and might come in...
I think Roy Jr and Roberto Duran are two peas in this pod. Both could jab well when it suited them, but they didn’t use it consistently and...
1948? Jeez.
Off the top of my head, I’d go with Michael Spinks — he’s good with everything, has a tremendous jab and his lead left uppercut is as devastating...

Tunney didn’t write the narrative on Greb. Dying young probably worked for him — if he had fought on for 5-7 more years (many do) and started...

This is the greatest boxing quote of all time imo.
Yep, I can try to find the source but I know he said it. I think Ali was so used to having the edge in quickness that he had to adjust. Angelo...
I was too young to understand all that sort of stuff, but afaik he was considered champ. He didn’t have to do the tournament, same as Michael...
I believe in the Four Kings book, Freddie’s ultimate departure from Duran’s corner was over money. No doubt he embarrassed and disgusted by Duran...
He’s the tallest rabbit I ever saw.
