I'd pick Holyfield. He was the better Amateur, and he matured almost immediately into a champion calibre pro fighter. Ali needed to grow up a bit.
Evander Holyfield took on a straight badass in Byarm. I've never seen a fighter look as good in a debut as Pernell Whitaker. He looked like he...
I found Jones more fun to watch, because he was SO special. Never seen speed and explosiveness like that before. Ever.
Punches, on the whole, dont "hurt" like we typically think about pain. Slaps "hurt" more than punches. Most painful I've ever been hit,...
Its very hard to pot shot an opponent with as good a defense as Pea. The guy was damn near impossible to hit from any range. I think you rate...
Pea got inside and outfought guys in there all the time. Like, literally all the time, I can think of atleast a round in every major fight he's...
If you can make 145, you can make 147. Its Hearns own fault if he cut too much. Ray was still the better man over the championship distance.
My stance is, don't move up if you can't have it. If he's gonna get a ton of credit for great wins up there(He SHOULD!), you can't just erase...
I'd imagine he sensed his own decline and thought he had nothing left to prove. An amazing career, lots of money made, his faculties intact. He...
It was good. It also help that he through great snappy punches with excellent form. I dont think he was especially speedy, honestly. Certainly...
Pea vs. Hagler would have been a comical physical mismatch. I'd favor Pea over Duran on styles. There is just no way he beats Leonard or...
I couldn't pick Patterson to win, I just can't say I'd be that shocked. Floyd has all the attributes to win but chin, strength, and length. I was...
Except he doesn't have faster hands than most welterweights. He's slowed to a crawl, he has awful knees, and his old ass bones are brittle and...
Tyson might have been in trouble against the Moorer that fought Foreman, who had a ton of confidence as was as razor sharp as a fighter can get....
I think Ali beats him, and I'll tell you why. A ton of Vitali's effectiveness is derived from his effective control of range: His feet are fast,...
