Thanks. But judging by this forum as well as other boxing news sources, the organizations have a lot of clout. Pretty much every time I post...
The only ratings I have that month are from Ring. The Ring - July 1980 (as of May 10, 1980) Champion: Larry Holmes (WBC) 1. Mike Weaver (WBA)...
The WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO are largely insignificant titles and can not be compared to the World Championship of old (pre-1975 or so). I refer to...
Too bad that Cooney-Bugner fight scheduled for the end of 1981 didn't come off. If Bugner would've gone the distance it'd have been a good...
What amazes me is how Chovalo was back in the ring, in Yugoslavia, eleven days after the Foreman fight. Chevalo blamed his wife for the Foreman...
Surely Douglas' performance against Tyson should be included in a list like this.
It was a good name for Tyson, yet very safe, and a good payday for Frazier. As posters have already noted, Frazier was 6-0 (1) against some...
What's irritating to me is that people just accept it - sanctioning body bull - without question. Sometimes I wonder of some fans just don't have...
Or, perhaps, with Ali announcing his retirement, Spinks' people shouldn't have messed with Coetzee and gone straight for Holmes. It makes sense to...
I guess my original point was that some fighters and promoters would've jumped on that situation. Team Tyson could've seen Douglas as an easy mark...
Woller, that's a good question and one I don't have an answer to. To restate what I think you're asking, after 14 or 15 rounds of boxing, how did...
I've said that a few times on forums like this, and thought it many more. i.e. "Does (fighter) belong in the hall of fame?" Then they'll be this...
Did a little research... Savarese KO 1 Douglas 6/25/98 Tyson - Douglas proposed in early August of 1999 for 10/2/99 Tyson - Douglas nixed later in...
I totally get that. Only heavyweight ever to do so. If we're talking alpha-belts, first fighter to win it four times. Quite an achievement he / we...
After the Foreman fight would've been wonderful, but who retires after a career-high win like that? Gene Tunney? The few guys who "got out on top"...
