You'd think that Pacheco, a physician, would have kept himself in better shape. But the guy was always very heavy, especially in his later years....
Correct. And I'm not sure if it's the fighters or the managers/promoters who do more of the embellishing. Even Ali got over billed. He was...
Tua is actually 5'9", as is James Toney. Tyson was never 5'11, either. A lot of guys get over-billed in the height department.

How many quality short men did Foreman beat during his comeback? And for all Tua's limitations, he was a quality heavyweight. He wouldn't be like...
Boxers are, in fact, human, so it makes sense that they would experience a very human emotion like fear, especially when competing against other...
I think Foreman's punching power during his comeback was way overrated. He was basically trading off of his 1970s reputation as the hard-punching,...
Taking juice would have been very un-Christianlike of Holyfield. But then again, he didn't seem to have a problem fathering numerous kids out of...
I think Briggs was a better fighter when he was lean and trim as opposed to the muscular hulk he acme later in his career. But overall, I'd say...
lol
Samuel Peter is the modern day Liston.
I'll have to dig out the sources. But there was a prison record in Missouri showing Liston's height as 6'0" even. I believe I saw some of his...
