One of the cruelest tricks of boxing history is that King Tut didn’t come along at a time when he could have used this as his ringwalk music: [MEDIA]
Well, “he thought” is doing a bit of heavy lifting here. Fight Pulev, win the IBF and you’re in very good position to make a heck of a lot more...
There are more confirmed sightings of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster than of a physically fit Toney. I consider such a version of James to be...
Pops too big, too strong, hits too hard. I think Canelo’s chin is for real and he’s got the skills to survive, trying to hunt and peck his way to...
Man, I’d love to see this one. I give Angott a pretty good shot at spoiling his way to a decision because he was really good at neutralizing an...
Wow. I wonder if there are significant fights that took place over 2-minute rounds that we just don’t realize were shortened rounds, with that...

Thanks. Does this mean in the 1970s (and presumably the ‘60s and before?) that ALL fights in New Jersey were 2-minute rounds? Or just NJ state...
Yep, it’s a staple in amateur boxing in the U.S. at least for novices and kids (below a certain age, I forget what). At some point there had been...
I don’t know. Obviously the NYSAC sanctioned it with that round duration, but you’d think with any sort of title on the line — even that of a...
Emile Griffith got stopped twice in 112 fights. Once by Carlos Monzon late in the 14th round after being beaten down. Once by Rubin Carter in...
When you’re in the best shape of your life and your fight gets postponed, the only way you aren’t still in the best shape of your life a few...
I was puzzled when scrolling through boxrec to discover that Chuck Wepner’s win over Randy Neumann in 1974 for the New Jersey heavyweight...
How could I forget Gerrie Coetzee KO 1 Leon Spinks? This is Leon post Ali II. He’s only 7-1-1 but he has a win and loss vs. Ali. Coetzee was...
