I suspect that this is a very bad stylistic matchup for Frazier. Tyson is not just a good puncher, but he's a killer puncher, a fast starter, and...
Trinidad by KO. No one ever outpunched Trinidad. Graziano would try to do it, and he had the power to deck him, but Tito had that ability to...
Most articles back then were based on dispatches or from what other papers wrote. Hence it is so important to check sources today when reviewing...
Yes, currently researching and writing In the Ring With Jack Johnson.

Louis LKOby 12 Schmeling. Louis KO1 Schmeling. I think this would have been similar. Tyson at less than his best gets pummeled. But then he gets...
Assuming your premise is true, in addition to what others have said, I'll add the following: Louis was still an elite fighter who could beat top...
Two great fights between two guys who were young, strong, tough, in shape, and very powerful. Those guys landed a lot of bombs on each other in 19...
