I think George might actually believe there was something funny in his water- as I, and probably a lot of you, know firsthand, people do tend to...
While I do expect Rahman to be knocked out, Zakman's unhealthy obsession with perceived "glass jaws" is beginning to worry me.
Comparing my list with yours, it appears we have 23 of the same top 26, with the only discrepancies in inclusion being that I have Patterson,...
Actually, Fitzsimmons was 160, 175, AND heavyweight champion.

Patterson outworking Frazier?!?! You've got it backwards, here. Patterson was, at times, rightly faulted for his lack of a high workrate. Classic...
The Patterson rematch was only a 12-rounder, actually. As for the thread topic, I'll have to think about it a while longer.
