This question was proposed previously about major boxing fan Jim Brown. Charlie Powell was a phenomenal all around athlete with a good boxing...
Forward to? Keep in mind I lost my interest with the dismantling of the Championship Distance. In terms of anticipation, it was Holmes-Shavers II...
Snipes made a fatal mistake. He stood over Larry with his arms upraised, causing referee Rudy Ortega to have to escort him to the farthest corner,...
Ron Lyle also protested Ali's stoppage of him in their 1975 title bout, but in that one, Ali battered him from ring post to ring post, unloading...
