Larry would box Baer's ears off until the ref stops it late. Too many weapons for the one dimensional Baer.
Good video. To be honest I never really thought much of Maxim but after seeing this clip I may have to rethink my estimation of his abilities. He...
Wouldn't it be great to have Conn and his cotemporaries around today? The fight game would be fun again. Great fighters and a great era.
Young did beat Norton as far as I'm concerned and he actually hurt Norton a couple of times in thier fight as well. Jimmy had a little more pop to...
It's possible that Young may have become better as champion...Some fighters do. If he did he might have kept himself in good shape and given us...
I think it's too tough to pick only 10 fighters for a street gang but put a gun to my head and I'd...
Good question...I"ll be in the minority here and pick the '74 version of Ali however. Sure the '64 version was faster but not that much faster....
There was a lot of potential talent around at that time. Page, Witherspoon, Dokes, Cooney etc...Unfortunately they never reached thier potential....
The more I see of Tunney the more I appreciate him. He really was a helluva fighter. Good skills and tough as nails....and always in good...
How in the hell can we have 3 heavyweight "Champions"? That's why it's not the coveted prize it once was. You don't see multiple Super Bowl...
Mmmm...Interesting to say the least. I'm a big fan of Jeffries but this post illustrates a problem I have when rating a lot of the old time greats...
Good points Suzie. Tunney was a very good fighter and I rate him rather high but the fact is he never met a fighter like Liston and Gene didn't...
This is a tough one. Tunney is good but he never met a Liston-like opponent with an 84" thudding jab. Tunney has to get by that jab and try to...
I agree with Seamus. Fighters like Burns, Hart, Sharkey etc.. if they were around from say the 70's to today would not be fighting in the...
I also feel that the Baer fight was Louis' masterpiece. That louis could've beaten any HW past or present....Ali included.
