Benny Leonard, Carlos Monzon, Wilfredo Gomez.
I'm with you. Foreman in 3. Amazing that Foreman's talk that he was better as an old guy is believed by some here. He was an awesome wrecking...
The incomparable Leonard lost to Duran, but the VERY MUCH LESS skilled and much less gifted Mayweather somehow beats the Duran of Montreal? Did...
Agree. And if we're wrong, the 1978 Holmes who beat Shavers in a shutout, hardly taking a punch, and who went on to beat Norton in a classic,...
I'll take Ali over George in 1974 wherever they fight, as Ali seemed to have his number; it didn't take till the 8th round for Ali to be winning,...
Saddler. He has the record of wins over top competition. Sanchez does not, his career was cut short.

Brilliant! All of these facts are clearly true. Post of the day, Tonifranz!
Let's not forget Louis-Schmeling II for "FOTC's." Huge international and racial overtones there, plus Louis at the time was considered like Tyson...
I don't agree with the premise. Holmes wasn't reviled for beating Ali. Holmes was a guy much of the public and press didn't warm to, in fact...
Wow. I couldn't disagree more. Rocky's resume lacked? Ask an old-timer if the likes of Gatti--Gatti!!??-- and Marquez, an old Mosley, and an...
No kd at all, just a slip. Didn't stop Eckland from posturing.
Big Douglas fan here. But, based on his very spotted career before and after Tyson, not picking Tyson in a rematch seems almost foolish. Yes,...
Terrific list (and memory), mate. I'd substitute Ali-Frazier 1's 11th round for yours, and Matt Franklin (Saad Muhammad)-Richie Kates round 6 for...
This reflects my view. Jones was crazy-gifted and was untouchable in his lengthy prime. What he could or couldn't do in 2006 I don't even count....
