Outside of 130lbs, Floyd Mayweather is arguably not top 5 - 10 at every single weight he competed at. Mike Tyson's chin for a single shot is...
I like what you write but just cannot agree on some aspects. Langford cut off the ring very well, as did Gans, as did Fitz by all report. Fighters...
Much of this is correct but I don't see the lower regularity of exhibition in previous eras as a lack of the skill or an absolute evolution of...
One of the biggest flaws that I see in this "current/modern fighters are more skilled than ..." the fighters of Louis' time is that, especially...

I feel that he truly is a great fighter overall, moreso that he's not shown enough yet for me to put him with the greats of HW. Usyk hasn't got...
The shot that rocked Bonavena was beautiful and he also threw a lovely digging hook when finishing Lyle too. I wonder how fighters like himself...
