I'd like to thank he grant for agreeing with me and paraphrasing an old opinion of mine regarding Marciano. As for Rocky against Louis prime for...
Maybe lefty was right by saying I'm stuck in the past regarding training but when I look at the current HW picture I can't help but yearn for the...
Louis' delivery system was completely different than Marciano's and his hands/combinations were alot faster and more precise. Not to forget also...
Bombing out 6' 185-200 men is one thing. KOing a 6'7" 240lb behemoth with a solid chin is quite another. We simply don't know whether or not Rocky...

I think the type of fighter best suited to beat Mike would be the taller rangier skilled boxer ala Ali/Lewis. The smaller fighters like...
Jeffries was a big man at a time when there just weren't many many big talented 200+lb heavyweights. Drop him in the 70's and he wouldn't be as...
Always great to watch these vintage films of the great fighters of old. Makes me wonder how they would do against later time greats. Wonder how...
Sorry... I accidentally ended my post to soon but the point I'm trying to make is that as time went by the changes in style were a result of...
Boxing styles have changed over the years (note that I didn't say evolved) and there are reasons for this. There are no more 20 round fights...
