One thing I find very odd about debates concerning Johansson. Big supporters of Liston are first in line to trash Ingo. The problem it seems...
Mike DeJohn? His big KO's were over Miteff, Powell, and Hunter. I don't think he rates with Ingo, whatever negatives one produces for Ingo....
"flash-in-the-pan explosive short runs" I think this is a mixed metaphor for what happens. "Flash-in-the-pan" refers to a misfire in which the...
am keeping track of who beat the top men in a weight class for a decade-- so far four men have beaten three men who were best (other than...

on the light-heavyweights, It is interesting that Harold Johnson really has a more impressive heavyweight resume than at light-heavyweight. His...
Carnera--I like Jeffries. Braddock--I don't see Jeff clowning around like Baer did, and I think Jeff would just prove too big and strong. Max...
I will be interesting in how many dominate two different divisions in either one decade or in two different decades. I can't think off the top of...
Thanks for all the hard work. Comments-- 1--besides Ezzard Charles, another name which jumps out at me (for not being on this list at all) is...
