Did you see ESPN's pound-for-pound countdown list(the one not made by Bert Sugar[Sugar's was at least decent])? Not only were about 12 of their 20...
I don't really see how Arguello hit "far" harder than Monzon. Monzon stopped more than his share of top fighters, and some of them early. He was a...
It is absolutely true that Liston had heart, and asserting that he had "none" is unreasonable. However, he did clearly display some mental...
I can't see things from his own vantage point, so it's hard to say. McCall is still clearly a competent professional, and can make a living doing...

I know Marciano did consistently do 6-7 mile runs on a daily basis, as attested by numerous witnesses, but I've never heard of him doing 16-19...
Before one just sort of lumps Marciano and Frazier together and then figures that Foreman-Marciano will be a carbon copy of Foreman-Frazier, I do...
Also, to further expound here on at least my own views with regards to this idea, I don't necessarily think surviving the first six rounds greatly...

This kind of looks like a recycling of that "Tyson-Marciano, the myth of 'intangibles'" thread from a few weeks back, but expanded to include the...
It really is great being able to discuss with people who were actually there when and where these historical fights took place. It adds a new sort...
By the way, to reiterate- to anyone who wants to argue Jones should've won, I request that you post your round-by-round scoring for this fight....
