I forgot they fought twice. I don’t think I have ever seen the first fight but I remember the conversation about Mitchell looked good in the first...
This is interesting. I assumed Tszyu would the easy pick but some of these assessments feel like they have validity, so I am interested in more...
I am inclined to agree with you. I thought I was giving Sharmba a bit too much credit but I could not think of anyone else at the moment. Also,...

Cassius Clay vs Doug Jones. It has been a while since I watched it but I remember thinking...geez is anyone going to take a chance?! For some...
