He was only one year away from his peak, and like i said, reports going in where that he was training VERY hard and had all the motivation to beat...
It's been a while but i remember giving Carnera the majority of the rounds in which he didn't get knocked down. Why is the Louis fight hardly...
No problem, i will say that Baer has a puncher's chance, but i don't think it's a big one. Also, while he certainly has a sturdy chin, i don't...
I rank Savon as one of the greatest amateurs ever, but i think Tyson would destroy him in the pros. Savon, as great as he was, had an...
He was stunned momentarily (got caught cold in the 1st round by a good right hand), but not really hurt and literally seconds later, he hurt...
1 - When did that happen? Last time i checked, Wlad, at worst, drew one round, and easily won every single other one. Just take a look: (i can't...
Wlad by shutout decision. Baer's boxing skills and footwork are absolutely horrible, and he'd never get started, with that sick jab from Wlad. I'd...
How about: If Louis struggles, then being 5 inches shorter at least was one of several factors that caused it? ;) I like your well-written post,...
Oh come on. For how many years has he ranked as the #1 contender? He had a good period in 63-66, but outside of that, rather mediocre, and...
I think all of those. Leonard knew he had to dig deep to get the win, and i really love that in a fighter. Duran felt he'd already won anyway...
I have to admit i've only seen highlights (the knockdowns) of Moorer vs White. And yes, Tyson did dispose of a lot of tall boxers. You have a...
Not really. If you watch the Sanders fight, you'll see that when Wlad was hurt, all he did was throw the right hand, and of course got countered...
Close fight, i'm surprised Duran managed to win despite being slower. Leonard made a mistake in trying to match Duran blow for blow, but showed...
A lot of things. Summarized, i'd say "ring generalship". But category by category, in random order: 1. Conditioning. When Sdunek was his trainer,...
I disagree. Imagine if White was 6'2 but just as skilled otherwise. Do you really believe he'd go the distance under those circumstances? I'm...
