I agree with you to a point. Thrilla for me is just fun because its a great fight and its my most powerful childhood big fight memory. I was old...
And, ironically, its the only fight of the series that isnt an all out war. They each fought the type of fight they were famous for...
I think Holyfield is better, Rocky is tougher. Will and want is a wash. Handspeed and footspeed is DEFINITELY Evander. Punch is...
I couldn't beat him, stylistically. A guy with arms as long as mine, that much power and know how, and that good a jab? I'd have to either be a...
Liston and the Thrilla are my personal favorites. Next, about even, FOTC and Quarry II. Foreman third. Love the history, feel it every time...

Some decisions arent made with us, the outsiders and fans, in mind. Bernard wanted to fight Roy since Roy beat him. He was not going to leave...
Probably several reasons. Most prevalently, I'd bet it was this. Sometimes I'll spar a guy orthodox just to neuter my offense a bit so I can...
And plenty of people think he's greater than Jones today. I dont. I didn't after Tarver. I thought about it after Pavlik. I thought about it...
Is it "handpicking" when he's the man, though? Pascal was unquestionably to best 175er in the world on resume, was a unified champion. In my...
By definition, a world champion is the holder of a world title belt. The term means less today. I think we start to see true champions when...
Good to note. Roy had plenty of skill, just fairly average defense. He's got no sophisticated avoidance maneuvers beyond the earmuffs once his...
I think Gomez was the much better fighter. Resume, its quite close, but in terms of the man in the gloves, Shane, while on helluva champion,...
Did anybody else see Hopkins laughing at him after the huge miss to end the 6th? Cracked me up. Hopkins facial expression, to me, actually said,...
