Yes, Franklin completely fell apart at the end of his career (leading to his tragic death, in fact), but he had a run in there where he was...
It would be very, very hard for Wlad to surpass Larry Holmes now that he has already been knocked out not once, not twice, but three times by...
I feel the same way. People used to mention me in this type of thread!:cry: :| That said, other than John Garfield, none of my choices are up...
