George, at that second phase of his career, never really did go hard. Very conservative guy. He trusted in his strength and the heavy in his hands...
I've sparred or fought most every heavyweight who meant a **** this last era, barring Byrd, Moorer, and Tyson. And man, it all hurt really bad....
I actually think Ray benefited from the big fight atmosphere in those early rounds. Tommy was intent on boxing a tight, controlled fight. He was...
Prime Sonny and Prime Foreman are the largest nightmares out there for Joe at heavyweight. It doesn't get any worse.
Resume should be the most important factor in rating a fighter. Dominance is also great, but by the end, Wladimir Klitschko may have more years...
I think Listons weakness, and that is slow feet, always come back to haunt him against Ali. Prime or not prime, Green Ali, Prime Ali, or past it...

Time off from the ring is a massive deterrent in this sport. It hurts. I know this first hand. I excuse Ray Leonards less than awesome showing...

I agree with you on points, and disagree. Where I disagree: round 4 was clearly for Peterson. Having it even is incorrect. The things on which I...
Forrest was far from textbook. Trinidad had far better classic form. Forrest had New York/Philadelphia type boxpunching. See the straight...
A good part of all of that stuff was publicity. Anybody who thinks it was all 100% real doesn't know the business of boxing. Joe Frazier, while no...
