He never fought a Vitali when he was younger (and definitely not on short notice). He was also never 255+ pounds when he was younger, either....
He didn't look so great against Tony Tucker, either. Had an older Lewis fought that same Tucker and performed the same, many here would be saying...
Agreed. Lewis was performing very well in the previous fights leading up to this fight with Vitali. I think Lewis struggled against Klitschko...
He probably wasn't too far past it. Lewis, by all accounts, lived a very clean life and didn't abuse himself with drugs and alcohol and hard...
Not necessarily. Many tall guys have lanky, thin frames (ectomorphic), while many short guys have broad, thick frames (mesomorphic). It's why you...
Ali was actually 6'2", not 6'3", not that it matters all that much. Ali himself said he was 6'2". Holmes and Foreman were both 6'3" guys, and they...
As far as title defenses, Holmes' resume looks rather thin. He beat a good fighter in Norton to win the title, but outside of Ken, Holmes really...
Leroy Caldwell, who fought Foreman, Lyle, and Shavers, and who sparred with Frank Bruno, said Bruno hit just as hard as those guys. Bruno was a...
That pretty much described George Foreman during his comeback (yes, yes, I know, he knocked out Moorer, but still). George's vaunted punching...
Who did Holmes beat that was so great?
And Holmes was a skinny guy. He had a slender, narrow body frame. Many of the past heavyweight champions were built naturally bigger than was...
6'1" is a tall height. It was tall during Louis' reign as champion, and it's still a tall height today. The majority of the world's population is...
Since when does a fighter have to possess an ongoing winning streak in order to be dangerous or to be capable of beating any given fighter on any...
And yet Holmes, in the eyes of many boxing scribes and fans, gets heralded as being this 'take-on-all-comers' champion who fought them all and who...
The problem was that Holmes rarely took on his number 1, at least not post-1982, when he really hit the cruise control and started s****ing the...
