I read an old report of the Firpo fight. Dempsey was apparently "out on his feet": 1- after first exchange, took big right and had to hang on for...
Monzon beat better fighters than Jackson fairly easily. Monzon by late round KO.
I rated Ketchel so high because he fought two great heavyweights, Langford and Johnson, and gave them good fights. He fought twenty rounds on...
It seems to have started around the time Holyfield and Morrison were on top in the heavyweights.
Patterson was a great fighter but too small for the sixties and seventies greats. He never got any respect after the two losses to Liston,...
Foreman in the early rounds, Marciano in the late rounds. Punch that kayoed Walcott in first fight nearly tore his head off. Could be that the...
When he hit the ground there were only nine seconds left in the round. But I don't think you can be saved by the bell under the rules they were...
Benitez was a truly great fighter who was under-rated because he let his talent dissipate. His losses to Hearns and Leonard were very close. He...
Corbett vs Peter Jackson
Tyson and Liston also Hearns right after he kayoed Cuevas
