Cosell never figured out what a left jab was, he always called them "lead left hands." Luckily, in his time there were few if any fighters...
This is the first I've ever heard of this. Definitely have never seen it. Most of the people I've been around in gyms could tell you without...
Hard to say. He might have caught JY and stopped him (not likely IMO) or he might not have caught him and then gassed out quick. Also he would...
I thought GF fought a good fight most of the time. JY was a tough guy to fight, defensive first, but quick hands with a good right and a nice...
I just watched Foreman - Young. I thought GF fought a good controlled fight most of the time and JY fought a good fight too. The thing I...
If they fought each other, I'd bet on VK. VK was a dedicated trainer who likely took advantage of every edge he could get. Jimmy Young was a...
Good point. Also, Young's win over Foreman wasn't a "fluke" or an "even" fight. Young won 118-111,115-114,116-112. Only one judge had it close....
Foreman was "selective" about who he fought in the 90s. He was the cash cow and he could pick and choose his opponents. That Foreman managed to...
You wrote facts. To make Foreman the monster that some try to do, you have to combine the best of 70s Foreman with the best of 38-45 year old...
Ocasio beat Jimmy Young twice at heavyweight, fought to a draw with Dokes, lost a SD to Mercer...No laughing stock and a tough fight for most...
Holmes was an excellent fighter. He had the boxing skills, the conditioning, the toughness, the speed, the will, a good right hand, and that JAB,...
I think I'd take Seldon of the Tucker fight, and the Hipp fight over Spinks who even at his best struggled with Alfio Righetti and Scott LeDoux....
As Seamus noted, Wilder sometimes only wins a portion of a fight, he doesn't engage all the time. With a smaller, pressure fighter he might jump...
I agree, Tyson wasn't shot physically after prison, he just didn't want to box. He was only there for a pay check and he wasn't worried about...
Toney would be a big problem for a heavyweight who let him set the pace or an opponent who didn't throw quick combinations, loaded up, and didn't...
