So you think Baer's work in radio wasnt acting? He wasnt hosting a talk show. Regardless, every fighter is different. Some thrive on chaos while...
I think LaMotta was better than Fullmer in a lot of areas but I dont know that it would matter. You didnt want to go straight at Dick Tiger.
What all of this leaves out is that Max Baer was a bigger radio star than he was a movie star (a fact that continued well into the 1950s). Radio...
Talk about mischaracterizing those fights. His loss to Farr was hardly the one sided fight the AP report Boxrec characterizes it (I thought Baer...
Jake was Zales number one contender. Not Cerdan and not Graziano. In fact Jake was rated higher than both even when he was the top contender when...
What do you base this supposed toughness on? He was hurt, rocked, and dropped several times throughout his career. He had heart and wasnt a glass...
Jake wanted Zale. Zale wouldnt fight him. In fact the NBA wanted Zale to fight Jake and he refused. They also dictated that Graziano fight Jake...
LaMotta. He was tougher, stronger, and while Zale may have hit harder to the body I dont know that he "was a better body puncher" than LaMotta....
You couldnt beat Locche in Argentina. Several of his fights he did nothing but mug and clown and still got the decision.
Its not the age its the mileage. Charles had 68 fights in 9 years as a pro (taking over a year off during the war) against some of the best...
I dont see how you can extrapolate this from what I said.
No because there was nothing like the controversy before and after the Tunney fight in regards to Louis-Walcott. Plenty of experts said Walcott...
But he didnt win it on his first try. Or his second. Or his third. Or his fourth. There were plenty of people who didnt think Walcott did enough...
I agree with this 100% Walcott gets overrated today because after FIVE title shots he finally became a champion in a pretty weak era by fighting...
Thats why I picked Charles right dumbass? Which perfectly describes plenty of guys Charles struggled with at HW. Oh bull****. Quarry earned...
