Truly singular, as @Young Terror stated. I think he’s the all-time nightmare matchup at 135 for basically any lightweight who ever lived.
A song is really a poem. Here's 'Boom Boom Mancini' from the late, great Warren Zevon: Hurry home early hurry on home Boom Boom Mancini's...
Joe was mad at the stoppage — there wasn’t a big punch or anything, just Gabe basically doing little or nothing and seemed to welcome the end. I...
I’d guess Mysterious Billy Smith should have been a tad sneakier given how he got DQ’d like 14 times.
I find Zanon fascinating. Gave people fits … until he got hit. But it wasn’t as easy to hit him clean as it must have looked, and he had sneaky...

On the one hand, Herbie hit unnaturally hard — you could see Bowe wincing from his shots and see it in other fights. Not a guy to be...
On the lower-end scale for a guy who didn’t have a big budget to stage a freaking Broadway play as his ringwalk, Wilbert “Vampire” Johnson...

Whatever one thinks of the decision, I admire Tiberi for taking a stand against what he believed was an outright robbery and a crooked system that...
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with us. Your uncle touched and enlightened us all. I’m quite sure that every time...
He lost to Johnny Allen (11-15 record) in 1945, didn’t he? Or was it ‘46? To me, ‘avenging a loss’ means you split with someone as if the loss...
