Conn's clearly among the best ten LHWs to ever hold that title. Making some distinctions here though, I think Charles and Tunney were greater...
Holmes-Ali. This is going to be controversial, but I was actually rooting for Ali to at least do well going into that match, while an awful lot of...
This one's about as severe a mismatch as Jake could be subjected to against somebody who couldn't hurt him. Maxie was a legitimate HW contender...
Totally agreed. An excellent poster, sometimes overlooked due to relatively low output, but memorable commentary when choosing to contribute. I...
Doesn't matter how well Sonny trained, or how super motivated and angry he was. He'd still have to somehow beat an opponent he was barely able...
Even stranger that Chacon would never again be defeated. Bobby closed out his career by going 7-0-0 over the final four and a half years of his...

Something not mentioned yet is that like Smoke, Uzcudun had an early injury to his left arm which prevented him from straightening it out,...
And that he never took on Lyle or Shavers during the mid 1970s is very troubling to me. Mac himself peaked well before Ken would have been ready...

Quick should outbox Two Ton to take this one. However, with Dundee screaming from his corner, I saw Tillis take hook, after hook, after hook from...
Mugging. Tony was too rough and brutal for Leon to deal with, and tougher than Mercado, the biggest HW puncher Leon defeated.
Not just that killer right, but we see him deck Nelson with his hook. The man needed only one shot from either hand to get the job done. 100...
