Shavers didn't have the chin to handle Foreman's power. It would be a very short war and Foreman would get him out. Sure Shavers could hurt...
I picked Sullivan v. Jeffries not only because it would be a fun fight filled with plenty of hard hitting, but because it would give me a chance...
Oh, I don't hate modern day boxing, but I'm saying it's no better than the old timers. I don't think there has been all that much evolution in...
What is up with all this talk of fighters being outdated? What, like Johnson didn't know how to elude or block a punch? Like he didn't know how to...

When Chavez fell off physically, he also fell off mentally. But can't blame him too much after around 100 fights and 25 or so title bouts. That...

Implying that the Pratchett win was somehow a gift is ridiculous. I saw that fight and Chavez dominated. Pratchett was tough and durable and game,...
No, he did not.
The knockdown was legit but Walcott waited way too long to start getting up. He wasn't blacked out by any means. He could have risen much sooner...
Yes I did. I now do some coaching, refereeing, and judging. Thanks for the kind words.
Now you know I have a lot more intellectual integrity than that. :) Hope to have the book published by the end of this year. I am breaking it up...
Anyone have a good photo of Black Bill (aka Claude Brooks) which I can use? apollack11@hotmail.com
