When I think of prime heavyweight Holyfield I think of the rapid-fire punching machine that he was against Foreman. He was quick of both hand and...
Joe Louis was not totally washed up when he lost to Marciano. Louis was very active and had beaten some decent contenders prior to facing...
Chicken or the egg. Do you not think the Ali of 1967 would have been more active and less-inclinded to lean on the ropes than the 1971 Ali did?...

Thank you....I feel like going to the gym now...
I know Ken Norton is supposed to be heavy into weight lifting and is supposedly pretty strong. Norton said he never lifted weights during his...
Savarese and Briggs would have been tough fights for Holmes. Savarese and Briggs were decent opponents; they weren't bums at all. They weren't the...
