Anyone who had seen Ali’s career up to that point knew he also had weaknesses. I mean, what fighter doesn’t? The second Peralta fight was,...
1. Leonard over Hagler 2. Leonard over Hearns I 3. Duran over Leonard I 4-5. (t) Hagler over Hearns/Hearns over Duran It’s interesting that...
I remember tales of Ali showing up and an opponent’s training (Foreman maybe?) and ‘sneaking’ acting like he’s trying to not be seen as a...
Ray Robinson vs Gene Fullmer or Bobo Olsen might best fit this bill. I like the Holmes-Mercer call here too. There’s lots of wins by elder...

I, too, think the Rock rocks Herbie. He can dance but he can’t Hide. I do think Herbie is comfortably ahead for a while and probably gets an...
I find it fascinating because of the adjustments and insane level of skill displayed. Yes, it ended up one-sided but in to me a very entertaining...
Can’t find where this all-time classic clash of styles has been discussed yet. A dancing destroyer vs a rock of a man. Two bangers. Herbie is...
