By the time LaMotta got to Williams he seems to have slipped considerably I would say Burley was better certainly than that version of William's....
This argument that LaMotta had no obligation to face Burley because he wasn't a big draw is silly. In that case why is Zale wrong for fighting...
LaMotta wasn't the most deserving of a title shot though. Dave Sands Holman Williams Charley Burley etc were also ducked. LaMotta hadn't done...
I think LaMotta is being badly overrated here. Were talking about a guy who lost in his prime to the likes to Dauthille and Villemain. Why is...
Are there any light heavyweights from that era you would pick to beat Jacobs?
I don't think you can just focus on Hank's wins and ignore his losses. Had he gone undefeated against his opposition aside from Tiger than it...

Back in Ali's day people were smaller on average and the total population was smaller. There is a much bigger pool of guys 6'5+ than there were...
I don't think modern heavies are incapable of fighting at a high pace take the Tua Ibeabuchi fight for example
Wilder is 6ft 6 1/2 with an 83 inch reach. This probably has a lot to do with his success. All these bigger guys he is beating are at a height...
