Thier defenses were different. Dempsey tucked his shoulder behind his chin and employed a crouch with a bob and weave while johnson relied on the...
If Johnson can nullify Dempseys hooks in close and ride out the first 5 rounds without getting tagged...and I mean tagged, then he wins, either by...
I wasn't. But I was pointing out the physical attributes that Ali posessed that I feel would've enabled him to beat Tyson. The Williams fight...
The funny thing is that we probably never saw Ali in his actual prime. The closest we did see him in his prime was the Williams bout and he looked...
I just wish there was available film footage of Greb in action. I can't believe there isn't any available footage of him.
I remember Gil Clancy saying that he would've let frazier go out for the 15th if he was Joe's manager only because Ali was so exhausted that one...

Ali would've stopped him within 5 rounds after playing with him a bit. Wilt would've been in way over his head and I think he came to realize this...
I too pick Tyson in this matchup but I wouldn't completely dismiss Dempseys chances. Let's say the fight is a 12 rounder and Jack comes in at a...
Resumes are only half of the equation. Even if Rocky faced better competition relatively speaking, it still doesn't prove that he would beat...
Excellent posts. Makes me rethink my take on the greatest MWs of all time. Growing up in the 70's and 80's I was convinced that Hagler was the...
