This was Ring Magazine's FOTY in 2006, so it may not qualify as a "hidden" gem, but the Somsak Sithchatchawal-Mayhar Monshipour fight is one that...
Yep. Page, Tubbs, Witherspoon, Thomas, Dokes, and Tucker immediately spring to mind as far as that goes. IIRC, Jack Newfield's book blamed at...
Another detail, it was the only time in his career that he was stopped...
Looked to me that Vitali was up by 3 or so points, and was cruising before the 9th when his left arm had given out. Remember, Klitschko was...
This is a fair take, and I agree that Wlad matches up better. I think his shots reach the target a little faster, and he has better one-punch...
I don't think this is getting anywhere. I agree with you more often than not, but We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Both guys were...
From the little I've seen of Monzon, Nunn is the matchup I'd be interested in. Nunn was excellent over a span of 3 or 4 fights around the time he...
Fair enough. We'll never know what Louis-Wlad would have looked like, and I've seen good points made on both sides. Makes for an interesting...

Yeah, the fact that Wlad had vastly better footwork, hand speed, coordination,...things like that...than guys like Simon and B. Baer wouldn't...
Absolutely. Take Conn for example. Conn literally weighed in under the Light-Heavyweight limit, was leading on points late, and even had the Brown...
Louis himself was excellent, but I wouldn't rate the entire era off just one guy. He's almost universally recognized as Top 3 all-time, and I...
Crazy how we can see infractions like Dundee with the smelling salts, or Panama Lewis asking for the "other bottle" plain as day on TV, but the...
The size difference really isn't in question. Louis fought an awful lot of guys who were <200, or barely over. Other Louis opponents who were...
I'm mainly talking Heavyweights, where there's no weight limit, and the bigger/faster/stronger elements come into play. I'm talking about...
