Interesting strategy, Tob, but it reminds me of Foreman after Zaire, learning to "pace" himself under Gil Clancy and unraveling to the fiasco in...
Nice comments, Ozzie. Mission nearly impossible for Tyson to beat Lewis in '02, because: 1) physically he had lost the suppleness and speed of his...
“Hit and not be hit” was prime Ali’s mantra. He didn’t like beating people up and, on the other hand, he once said,...
