Ive said before, and I maintain, that if Wills was the easy mark Dempseys fans continue to think of him, and Dempsey the indomitable juggernaut,...
Wills was 35 when he fought Firpo (boxrec has the wrong date for his bday) and had been fighting professionally for at least 13 years and at that...
I dont. Firpo was pretty uncoordinated and not exactly a speed demon either. Hes one of the poorest title challengers in history.

When you say stop the Greb juggernaut do you mean actually knock him out or just defeat him? Id say prime for prime Mike has the better shot of...
Yes, Cooper jumped in with a punch and London landed a left followed by a right swing to the back of Coopers head and then moved out of the way...
