Not lower weight guys but Max Baer Paulino Uzcudun Max Schmeling All used the cross-guard defense and they are from the same era.
I used have the same opinion until I found a high quality version of the fight. Louis surprisingly puts up a very good show against Rocky. He...
They must have forgot to update some of the 1960s gen because I could swear I saw a 1940s guy beat a couple of them.
Here's the clip with the quote [MEDIA] Ali looks young here, early 1970s, late 60s so he hadn't been beaten by Frazier and Norton yet, neither...
Come on, he knocked down Dempsey in the next round and had him practically out of the fight by the end of the 10th. Nevermind that he staggered...

That the "I'm not a 12 round fighter" would "butcher" the guys who could go 15 rounds multiple times a year is a claim so big it couldn't go 12...

You know your stuff ;) Farr is an interesting choice considering he performed much better against Louis than Baer did so I can see the stylistic...
From June 1936 to June 1938 he had beaten Louis, Ben Foord and Steve Dudas. He loses to Louis in June 1938 and then on July 1939 he knocks out...
