I think Max Baer qualifies in the Iron Chin/Power Punching category. It seemed like he went down by choice against Louis each time he fell. But...
Hamsho deserves a mention. Bobby Czyz said in a mid-ring interview immediately after their bout that Mustafa's superior mature physical strength...
No, Tommy would not pick up the stoppage, either over 12 or the championship distance. Moochie would be especially vigilant with his defense here,...
Remarkably, they embraced immediately after the bell rang. It was as if they'd finally gotten all that antagonism out of their systems with that...
Ron simply didn't have the speed to compete with Gene. Jerry Quarry proved Tunney would not have been too small. Lopsided UD for the Marine.

Would've been fascinating to see Marciano-Beshore, when Rocky was actually looking down on a shorter opponent he also outreached. From all the...
True enough, a radical decline from Briscoe III to Corro I (where he suddenly looked ancient), but he did at least succeed Monzon as the...
Especially the latter two. Norton gets inducted in 1992, yet Valdez, like DeJesus and Escalera, remain on the outside looking in. Arguello was...
Incredibly, Bingo Vingo is still with us at 82. Ironically, the boxer who came closest to being killed by Rocky's fists is very possibly the last...
Joe himself made it clear he considered Max Baer to be his all time peak performance. Schmeling I came nine months later, so Louis clearly has to...

A prominent boxing publication years ago assembled the perfect HW compiled from traits of all the champions up to that time, and for heart, they...

What's interesting to me about Sonny-Scrap Iron is that Liston's punching in reverse gear, something we never saw Marciano attempt on film. That...
