Holmes was not one of the more physically statuesque heavyweight champions that's for sure.
Why didn't Holmes give Norton an immediate rematch? In such a close, hotly contested fight, it's not uncommon for the victor to grant the loser an...
Watch the 9th round of Holyfield-Foreman. Holyfield nails Foreman on the jaw with a picture-perfect straight right hand near the rounds end....
