I suspected you were about to come out with that one. Read carefully: The Marciano-Wallace fight was an amateur boxing match. It was fought...
No. Moorer was the legitimate, linear world heavyweight champion and a better fighter than Maskaev. Maskaev is only a paper titlist. Foreman's...
I'm not talking about Fleischer, I'm talking about the public in general- just about everyone placed Marciano much higher on their lists a few...
I largely agree, although I wouldn't go as far as you on this one. I do think that at least Schmeling and Walcott actually were better than anyone...

No, I'm not at all suggesting that Frazier had Patterson-like durability. I didn't say that Frazier was easily wobbled/dropped or was...
Who was wobbled/dropped more as an amateur and an early pro? Frazier. Who was wobbled/dropped more in his rise to the championship? Frazier. Who...
So, to give a general overview, the decisive points here are that Norton, while a fully-grown man and a reasonably experienced professional, was...
The '71 Ali was the closest thing to a peak Ali ever to be beaten. He looks impressive against Quarry, and although he had an awkward fight with...
More often than not, it does. A guy who stands up well to moderate-level punchers is more likely to stand up to high-level ones than a guy who...
