Frazier certainly wasn't among those endowed with genetic gifts of longevity, and he may well have never gotten out of his 40s (or even his 30s)...
Ali's parents both died at 77, so he may simply be hard wired for a specific life expectancy. Holmes is fat (and occasionally a happy drunk),...
Going in, Teo Stevenson-John Tate was a huge showdown, perhaps the most hyped amateur bout before the fact in Olympic history.
Ali's exile cost us a truer prime versus prime matchup circa 1969-early 1970, a bout I just can't see Joe winning. It's been proposed on this...
Arcel's big comeback was the Frazer-Locche masterpiece in March 1972. By then, Duran had already stopped world champions Ernesto Marcel and...
I don't think Joe would have been ready for Muhammad until after he got the championship distance in Bonavena II under his belt in December 1967....

Burt, when Googling the combination of words: eastsideboxing ron lyle elmer ray -two of your posts in a pair of threads comparing them are the...
That's just it. He didn't seem to be at all. A "sudden stomach ailment" is the sort of thing that could happen to any of us at any time. (No...
Ocasio, easily. He crushed Ossie with the power of his jab in that one. Jaws came into that title challenge off of two wins over Jimmy Young, so...
I didn't realize Joe refereed his last bout barely four and a half years before he died. When he passed, it seemed as if he'd been at death's door...
Joe was calling him "Clay" in an interview conducted in 1967 which is on youtube, so this is not something Frazier reverted to after they became...
He would break the all time record of 30 defenses by Louis (which stood for all divisions), but whether or not he would do it in one or two reigns...
I thought it was funnier with McLean Stevenson and Wayne Rogers, then began turning into a social statement as Alda started taking over and the...
Not at all random. Essentially, we saw this with Holyfield-Qawi. Sam is recorded as being one inch taller with one inch more of reach than Ike....
