Very surprised. Hasn't anyone noticed that Schmeling was "chinny"? Guy got stopped too many times for me to pick him over a guy known for an iron...
If Baer can overpower Schmeling, then Jeffries can too. Baer was not exactly what I would call a mountain of skill, nor was he bigger or stronger...
The 225-pound Jeffries had a much better chin and durability than Schmeling. Head to head he'd knock Max out. Just too strong for him and could...
Boston Post - Johnson dropped Langford twice in the 6th round. Boston Globe - Johnson dropped Langford once in the 6th round. However, this is the...
Would be a really fun, awesome war that lasts a lot longer than many think. Sure Marciano was better, but Hart could punch, could take a punch,...
I think Frazier has the better overall resume, particularly given the era that he fought in and the quality guys he fought, plus he had the...
In the early 80s, Hagler was sharper, friskier, faster, more reactive, and more active than he was when they fought, BUT, so too was Leonard. Ray...
Remember the fights well. What folks forget is that getting hit really hard can cause some folks to react differently. What most fans saw was that...
Prime Tyson either stops McCall with body shots or makes him pull some sort of quit job, or McCall survives by hardly punching, doing a lot of...
Yes but at least the 80s heavyweights had one or two very good wins on their records and got a title belt before they either stopped training...
Tyson might be able to catch him, but can he finish him? Not so sure about that. If Tyson cannot finish him, what happens as the rounds progress?...
I say Liston. No top contender wanted to fight Liston because they were all scared of him. Guy was still really strong and powerful. I think he...
Duran and Leonard were both masterful boxers with experience, speed, power, defense, head movement and footwork, and fine ring generalship and...
If Joe fights how he usually did, it would be a fun war and he might even score a flash knockdown, but I agree he'd eventually get worn down....
Johnson did not quit against Klondike. The referee stopped the bout.
