I find myself feeling bad for Mormeck. Guy was THE man at cruiser for about a year. Fight with Haye was a war, it was terrific, and he gave a...
I agree 100%, and have to add that the only gimme fight he's TAKEN has been Mormeck. Rahman came in short notice(Two weeks!) and Austin was a...
Nobody is saying he's a fan favorite entertainer- Holding is boring as hell. Wlad grinds a guy out because, against a man like Mormeck, he can; It...
Its not the chin or timidity, its how he was using his left. Lots of pawing, bringing it back really slowly. He just, occasionally, gets a bit...

Your last sentence is really the key. Wlad isn't even the biggest heavyweight of his era. Why is he the best if all he is, is height and reach?...
I have to agree. I think he'll get to 20 defenses or so. With a TON of luck with injuries(An absence of them) and no young lion exploding onto...
Oh, right on.
While Moore and Charles are way, way better than Mormeck, you aren't wrong :lol:. By todays standards, though, Marciano was a cruiser himself. At...
I dont think you can say he matched Holmes win against Mercer. Holmes outclassed a peak Ray, Witherspoon arguably labored to a tight win against a...
Too often are amateur bouts dismissed when one talks about wear and tear. A long amateur career does take its toll. Punches are still eaten....
This. And I agree that Lewis deserves the condemnation. Wasn't Pryors fault Lewis gave him something CLEARLY illegal. He manned up and...
I dunno... This fight was always gonna turn out this way. Wlad pushed his **** in with no difficulty. I'm not sure it can be seen as anything...
