Oscar would have given him the most problems. They were scheduled to fight several times but Bonavena kept getting injured or sick and pulled out....
Its strange that you and I mostly agree on Bivins, so wildly disagree on Quarry, and yet seem to have basically the same conclusion. For instance,...
Thats a good list IMO. I might move Baer up one or two but hes so hard to figure. Braddock was easily the worst. Not a lot of daylight between the...
Yeah this all jives with what Ive heard too. The one thing that puzzles me is the stories of his wars sparring with Mike. Ive heard so many eye...
I agree with most of this but I actually believe that Quarry was a better fighter before the Jimmy Ellis fight. After that fight he changed and...

I think in Lamottas case that had a lot to do with the lack of fights available during the war. LaMotta showed he wasnt afraid to fight bigger...
You do! Boxing!
I think 5'8" is accurate for Greb. On occasion Ive seen it listed an inch or half an inch taller but thats uncommon and I dont think accurate.
Boxing skills have devolved slowly over the last 40 to 50 years and I think that rate of acceleration has increased over the last 20 years.
