Galento would be the one forced to move here. Chuvalo was Gibraltar when it came to standing his ground. Even Foreman, Bonavena and Frazier had to...
Dempsey's championship fights were banner headlines on the front page of the New York Times from 1919 to 1927. I can't see Tyson achieving the...
As I inferred yesterday, I could get on board with this. Big Cat had substantial experience by this stage, would have been a match in height and...
As opposed to a skirt, Sal?
Having height and reach on Zora, Harold and Eddie, I think he out jabs, out speeds and outmaneuvers them for the UD during the latter portion of...
I certainly agree he would have been very highly motivated to retain his championship against this particular opponent. For Sam to dethrone...

Buddy was an extremely dangerous body puncher, and I believe that's what gets Billy out of there in the end. Conn had a fine record against...
Not necessarily top, but Loughran's trifecta of Braddock, Max Baer and Sharkey is notable-two future HW Champions, and a former conqueror....
For whatever it's worth, Miske, Carp, and Tommy Gibbons are Dempsey's defeated challengers in Canastota. For Johnson, it's Ketchel and Jeffries,...
I don't think he would have gotten a lot of mileage out of beating an aging Wills and outsized and outpowered Greb during the early 1920s, and...
Most likely Dempsey's own choice for this thread. Jack was convinced if Maxie had his head screwed on straight that he coulda licked a thousand...
