I like Marciano by late round ko. Folley is good but eventually Rocky grinds him down and stops him. Zora's lack of footwork will do him in. He'll...
Good point Handsome Man. Better film technology can make a fighter seem better than his predecessors who didn't have the benefit of superior video...
Dempsey fought at the weight where he felt he would be most effective. His frame could've held more weight as he had long arms and wide shoulders...
Dempsey early...Marciano late. Jacks mantra was "The sooner the safer" and he would attack from the opening bell like Walcott did against Rocky in...
I too pick Ali in these matchups but it might be a little tougher than many think it would be. Wlad and Vitali are good big heavyweights...Not...

I just wish we had film footage of Johnson before he won the title. If we could see him in action against the likes of McVea, Martin etc.. it...
I wouldn't use the Marvis Frazier fight as a barometer for Joe vs Mike. Two different fighters completely. Prime Frazier would be a tough night...
I personally don't think that Vitali would beat the likes of Ali, Louis or Holmes but I do think he would be a difficult opponent nevertheless....
The fact that Jeffries hadn't fought in 5 or 6 years, had to lose anywhere between 50-100 pounds of blubber, had no tuneup fights prior to taking...
Keep 'em comin' Burt. The naysayers need to be converted. Dempsey at his best was deadly and a match for any HW champ past or present.
Wow...What a post. Good points raised by all. I'm always at odds whether or not the old style of fighting was better or worse than the modern...
Does the fact that a blown up welterweight, no matter how tough he was, was competing with and even beating some heavyweights make anyone question...
I love the old time fighters as much as anyone but I'm somewhat surprised at the number of posts that seem to favor Bob against Frazier...And the...
