I don't have punch stats, but i'd be surprised if Briggs averaged more than 20 per round against Liakhovic. What a stinker, especially if you...
Spot on. Chuvalo could beat the pre-2004, agressive Wlad, but even there i think a Wlad-Mercer-esque fight with Chuvalo stopped on his feet is...
He proved to possess a lot of great qualities, but maybe not the qualities needed to beat the Klitschkos. For instance, Tua proved a lot against...

Fair enough. :good

I was scratching my head already when i read 1-3. Still, as much as i like Frazier, i think 1-3 sounds about right. And that's no shame, because...
I'm not sure if i should debate this with you, considering you're extremely high on Holmes, but here we go: Who knows if he does or if he...
Spot on - credit to BigRed. Whitaker vs Chavez comes close as well.
Quite modern. In fact, i'd say they are the first "modern" gloved boxers. Like Johnson, they were ahead of their time, but also an essential 10...
