Also, Alan Minter was listed as 5' 9", yet I thought he had to be 5' 11" or 6ft. Hagler was 5' 10" and he looked two inches taller. That never...
Bowe-Golota comes to mind first.
Speaking of heights, I wanted to mention James Toney was listed as 6ft for his fight with Nunn. Yet I've seen it listed 5' 11", 5' 11.5", 5' 10",...
I think Ike Williams was a brutal slashing puncher. I never doubted his power from what I have seen and do no not think his power was overrated.

Why 1986? Leonard fought Hagler at middleweight in 1987 after a three year retirement. Leonard was in his prime at welterweight late 70s to 1982....
Ali. He called himself "The Greatest", but I never viewed him that way. He was top notch, had all the qualities necessary to be great, but not the...
