Im amazed. I never thought it would happen. I agree with Ras. I thought the Jirov fight was super close and the knockdown won it for Toney. When...
Maybe but thats something to take into consideration when assessing a fighters place in history and his chances head to head. If a fighter is a...
We can agree to disagree. I didnt think he did well, or looked particularly good against Nunn at all barring the exciting finish. Good win....
But that statistic is skewed by the mere fact that Armstrong held 3 of the 5 title you just listed. Its even harder to figure when you factor in...
If you knew how often throughout history that has happened youd throw up in your mouth a little.
That's not what was said though. You said they were impressive wins. The first McCallum fight wasn't even a win. The Nunn fight wasn't impressive...
I second this

No Tunney was wintering in Miami and a promoter down there, Jess Baugh, had constructed a big new arena and was working with Tunney to promote a...
Not much unfortunately. The midwest wasnt great about filming stuff and the 40s in general is a black hole for fight footage. Ive got some rare...
But the 30s in general was seen as a kind of muddle, particularly at HW. If, in the 40s, you asked if that generation had evolved far beyond say...
Again, thats not the point. The narrative being proposed here is that Greb had capitulated to him and refused to ever fight him again because...
They had. Im sure that had an impact but Griffith could be pretty boring before he killed Paret. In all of these cases these guys had another gear...
