Yes, thanks so much Dubblechin! Much appreciated!!! As for the ratings date vs. issue date, in my document I log them by their "as of" date, if...
Mine might be. Heavyweight history, day by day. I kinda don't want to say much yet because I don't know if I'll ever actually finish it. I've been...
I'd love to get these too. RonnyRains & I are working on similar research concurrently.
I hadn't thought about it before - Qawi lost both his titles to future world heavyweight champions.
The Ring - February 1978 (as of December ?, 1977) World Champion: Muhammad Ali 1. Ken Norton 2. Jimmy Young 3. Larry Holmes 4. Ron...
Yeah, Holyfield didn't duck anybody. He pretty much fought them all, much like Ali. I can't, off the top of my head, think of any notable 90's...

Off the top of my head, from the last fifty years (lineal title only) I'm going to go with Terry Daniels, Jose Roman, Jean-Pierre Coopman, Lucian...
Agreed. The timing was all off. Tyson losing to Douglas and then dealing with the **** conviction killed a 90-92 Tyson-Foreman fight. A fight...
Beethavean Scottland was the fighter. Max Kellerman, doing commentary from ringside, was openly critical of Mercante Jr.'s actions. He repeatedly...
It's too bad Ali-Liston II didn't happen as originally scheduled in November 64. Who would Liston have fought after Patterson II in late 63 or...
What happened with Canalito? Seemed like he just disappeared, despite being an undefeated heavyweight with good backing. Per BoxRec, he now owns a...
