I knew this was going to be a 1st round KO and bet a friend on mine that he wins if Seldon merely gets out of the first round. All I had to do was...
Hey, there are lot of modern champions who do the same thing against stronger foes - run fast, throw quick punches, and grab when the foe gets...
I strongly disagree with your assertions. Fitz was an excellent trap setter. If you read In the Ring With Bob Fitzsimmons I am certain you will...

Maybe a huge puncher beats prime Frazier, but no boxer type does. As much as I admire prime Holmes, I don't think he beats '71 FOTC Frazier. That...
