Whether or not Fitz has the power to stop Dempsey is debateable. I think the old adage that styles make fights isn't and Dempsey has the style to...
Mcvey and Hook from Hell raise interesting points. Mcvey for bringing up the fact that Johnson did fight big bangers and was successful against...
This is tougher to decide than I thought it would be. My first thought was that Johnson would win due to his defensive prowess and better pacing...
A lot of good points brought up by all sides of this debate but I think this question boils down to a few factors. One is the fact that fighters...
Cooney early or Weaver late. Gerry's best chance would be to jump on Mike from the opening bell and let his punches go in bunches on Mike who was...
I agree. I remember when we started with 2 HW champs from the WBC/WBA in the late 70's or early 80's. I was upset. I thought it demeaned the HW...

Vlad and Vitali fight nothing like the Foreman that beat Frazier. They are safety first fighters who put thier height to good use against thier...
Dempsey would probably be a little heavier in todays HW picture due to the fact that fights are 12 rounds not 15 or more. Lets say 195-200lbs....
It would probably be one of the most exciting, if not shortest HW fights of all time. Can't see this one going over 4 or 5 rounds with Tyson more...
I think fewer fights and more available titles put less wear and tear on a fighters body today. Take the HW's for example. How often do you see a...
Don't know if frazier would clean out the HW division today but he would certainly be a force to be reckoned with. Many HW's today would have a...
