Interesting post. I think Spinks beats Willard one way or another, and without any problems. Your assessment of Spink-Firpo would probably be...
That did cross my mind. That became the gameplan for Golota opponents later in his career, to come out and try to blast him early, and stop him or...
Never super comfortable picking Golota, but I do like him in this matchup. Golota had the better jab, and was the better boxer. I think...
I said Ruddock was far more dangerous: in other words, bigger, more athletic, almost certainly a clear advantage in power, though there's no way...
Ruddock was very much on the downside when he fought Morrison. He'd fought only once in about 3 years going into that fight. He took a massive...
Most 90s Heavyweights you've ever heard of are probably better than Willard. Do you see Firpo being a top contender from 1989-92, as Ruddock was?...
Well, would Team Dempsey even allow this fight to happen if it were back in those days? There's reason to believe Ruddock doesn't even get a shot...
I doubt Firpo would even be around long enough to land a significant blow vs. Lewis. If he did manage to land clean however, I'm not sure what...
There isn't just one story behind this. There are several accounts of what happened, and I have read all this before. I came away from the story...
For me, I'm far more familiar with Ruddock than I am with Dempsey. Ruddock came along at a time when I followed the sport closely. I saw most of...
This would have lasted however long it took Lewis to get a clean right hand in, which might not have been immediately, but it would have been...
This one was on USA Tuesday Night Fights back in the day. Rather brutal ending to this one. Should be time-stamped correctly where Benton starts...
I think Bowe had the size, and all the tools necessary to give Mike problems. Good jab, excellent uppercut, could fight well at range or on the...
My knee-jerk answer to this was Golota. Too big, too strong for the smallish Moorer who didn't have the greatest chin. After a little thought,...
They were hyping Savage up as a bare knuckle brawler with a record of 42-0 (41 KOs), or something like that. I always wondered what the truth was...
