This will be my last thread today, but I've been watching a lot of fights today and I saw this for the first time. The first 8 rounds were super...
A part of me feels like the reason why boxing is declining. If I'm a short fighter, why would I join a sport like this when everything is against me.
If I am a taller fighter, I just jab jab right hand or uppercut on the way in, and then when the shorter fighter is close I just grab lean and on...

The problem with this "take him lightly" argument is that the man was blind. It just to me feels like, you REALLY REALLY have to try to discredit...
I just feel like once Whyte hurt him with that left, if Wilder was in there ,he would be knocked out. It was pretty evident that the reason why...
To me, I never understood Liston being "past his best" If you look at his last 8 fights, 7 of them didn't go past the 3rd round. And his aura of...
Ali had Liston and Patterson on his resume. That is not a small detail, that is HUGE.
