Agree, agree, agree. Ingemar would crap his drawers if he had to face Liston. His whole life would flash before his eyes and he'd be worried about...
I'm so sorry to hear this news. As a fan I liked Ricky very much. I loved the passion he brought with him into the ring. You couldn't help but...

The Cooney who beat Norton almost to death is someone Norton in his prime would avoid if he were smart. Gerry was not a good matchup for Ken at...
