We would have: Lucian Bute Kelly Pavlik Mikkel Kessler Andre Dirrel Arthur Abraham Andre Ward Carl Froch Allen Green That's eight fighters who...
Fair enough. I would like to end with one more remark, though. On most expert agree that Rocky couldn't beat Ali: Ali himself often mentioned...
"Frazier would've beaten them all" - but he never proved that. I think it's speculative to make a statement like that and just sweep Rocky's...

And the next step is..... Comparing their winning percentages :p
At the same time, i can't help but imagine going back to the word helpless when i think of a 190lbs fighter going up against Vitali Klitschko,...
Good post, i agree. :good Walcott has the best chance because of his timing and power, like you said.
I don't really blame Lewis for not fighting Wlad in 01/02. In 2001, Lewis was busy getting his title back from Rahman and did so impressively....
Chagaev is a very talented fighter. You don't beat Savon at 19 years old without having that boxing instinct. His technique is excellent and he...
