I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that top level boxers - champions - have this sense of being bigger and badder than any law or...
I find it funny how so many people paint Sonny Liston as this giant monster, when in fact he was only about 1" taller than Joe Frazier, maybe...
Great list! You have a solid list of fighters there. When I read the title of this thread, I immediately started thinking of fighters who were...
IF George had come into the ring against Holyfield weighing 235 pounds, do you think the fight would have been different? How detrimental to...
I get what you are saying. And I do think that Foreman - even at 42 - was stronger physically than Ruddock, but I think Ruddock definitely hit...
Great analysis! For me and you, it's extremely easy to see through the charade that was George Foreman's second act! Sure, Foreman was big and...

I never knew Norton sparred with Liston. I had never heard that before. I do know that Norton said that Ali had the best jab of any fighter he...
Sonny Liston. How old do you think he really was when he fought Clay(Ali)? When he died? The book "The devil and Sonny Liston" is a pretty...

A voice of reason! My thoughts exactly. Foreman had to be forced to take the Alex Stewart fight, and we all saw what happened when George fought...
I don't know how much weight Ali could realistically carry without sacrificing speed and/or stamina. When Ali fought Berbick, he was 238 and...
I think you are right. I admit, Larry still had a lot of skill at age 45. But, as happened in most of his fights against better competition, he...
Do you think Larry still was the best jabber at age 45? Holmes' lack of power and stamina would play into Moorer's hands. And his southpaw jab...
