Imagine a prime Joe Louis today? He'd be champ for another 12 years.
I'd say it's right up there witht the best of them. Louis may have been the best power puncher of them all due to his delivery. His punches were...
The Tunney that beat Dempsey twice and destroyed Heeney would be too much for Fitz. He could box, move and punch and was durable as well. The...
It's ironic that VK, when you watch him fight resembles an old school type of HW. He kinda reminds me a bit of Jess Willard who often gets put...
Good point Choklab...and true, though it would take a certain type of fighter to pull that style of fighting off today. The klitchsco brothers...

I'll take Tunney in this one if they're fighting as HW's. Gene had excellent footwork and was fast on his feet. Combine that with his durability...
There's no doubting Greb's greatness....That's obvious. What is difficult however is imagining how he would do against other greats without...
Let's not forget Ali's chin. His flaws sometimes got him into jams that his chin was able to overcome. If he only had a so so chin he might've...
If I was Cooney and had to fight Frazier, my plan would be to storm out of my corner and try to take Joe out in the 1st round because that's my...
He was decent as a HW but not much more. If he had taken on a young gun after Holmes and won it would've raised his stock but he didn't. Coomey...
