Maybe if Lewis came back and had a tune-up first, to prove he was still competent.
No, actually, I believe Mendoza's thread turned out a 9-4 vote for Vitali.
It's difficult to say, particularly with virtually no quality film of a prime Jeffries. Neither one was a very fast starter, both generally...
While I don't believe that the early '50s Louis would be a terribly serious threat to Dempsey, let me add that Louis also scored three knockdowns...
Absolutely not. Norton was bigger, but he wasn't even in Charles' league pound-for-pound. Also, several of Marciano's opponents arguably hit at...
Do you really think Foreman's win over Stewart was gutsier than his win over Lyle, or do you mean these are the gutsiest ones you actually...
No, the next quality fighter Carnera faced was Walter Neusel, in his next fight after Louis, which he won by fourth-round TKO. Neusel was 43-3-5...
Hard to believe Carnera was even able to climb between the ropes at the positively venerable age of 28, an entire year after he lost the title....
I do think people should keep in mind, here, that it was not until 1973 that Foreman won the title, and that through 1971, his only major wins...
Some were, but the majority were picking Vitali here, just as in the General Forum. I didn't make a strong pick, myself, as it was hard to know...
By the way, however, though Moore's heavyweight record has some decided advantages over Tunney's, I would still consider Tunney's world...
Well, as I recall, when I went through Moore's record to get a total of his heavyweight fights, my confirmed count was somewhere in the 60s in...
It's difficult to say, since we never saw how well Marciano would handle a layoff like that, or that type of age. We do know that perhaps the main...
A 37-year-old Lewis beating a presumably-better version of Vitali himself pretty well has to be a better performance.
I don't see how you could really say anyone had better heart than Marciano, and both guys had the stamina to go a hard 15 rounds without wilting,...
