Is that a take on the (I think) George Carlin joke? Something like, "If he's the undisputed champion, then what's all this fighting about?" Good...
I think Ali and Leonard are strong contenders for top honors (at least in the last 50 years) in this category for reasons already stated. But I'll...
There's obviously two categories here: 1) Guys that were whacked out early by the likes of Butterbean, Shannon Briggs, etc. Opponents who would...
Might be. It's one of those wins that looks great in hindsight, a la Sanchez-Nelson. We didn't yet know the career Klitschko was going to have....
When I typed that I'd forgotten that the Machen-Folley draw was before Johansson - Machen. But my thinking was that the undefeated number one...
Only 5? Some that I don't think were mentioned: Willard - Johnson Carnera - Sharkey 2 Johansson - Machen ALI - LISTON 2 (It STILL causes...
That's the thing... depending on where their respective careers go, time might prove Ruiz-Joshua not to be that much of a shock. I really question...
The thing about upsets is that often time nullifies their shock. At the time (from what I've heard and read; I wasn't around yet), Ali's (Clay's)...
Another one... as a kid, around 76-84, I was fascinated by boxing trunks. Like how Ali almost always wore white and black after the FOTC. Or how,...
One of my own, for a while. I first noticed it with Ken Norton, prior to Shavers, I think. Norton did this loosening up his neck muscles thing in...
Prince Charles Williams vs. Merqui Sosa - the ringside physician stopped the fight and ruled that BOTH fighters had taken too much punishment....
In the moments leading up to the opening bell of the Wilder-Breazeale fight I was thinking, "Breazeale doesn't look or sound like a fighter who...
Although he fought pretty well, I think Gerry Cooney didn't truly believe he'd beat Larry Holmes. He was worried about going the distance, there...
Cool broadcast featuring upcoming heavyweights. Nice to see Jerry Quarry doing post-fight ring interviews. I'd thought he was done as a...
I didn't realize Muniz retired in 1978. I thought he fought into the early eighties. I wonder how nearly 72-year-old Muniz is doing these days?
