Eubank showed FAR more in the ring than Carter ever did. Eubank could box, he could punch, he could take a punch, was naturally bigger, and was...
Fleischer waxes poetic about the pre WW1 heavyweights but how many and how much of them did he actually see? My guess is that prior to Jim Jacobs...
Business and gates dictated to Jacobs whether blacks would draw. Jacobs saw one color: GREEN. Suggestions that he used this as a false line to...

Espn used to play this fight in a carter bundle all the time. Carter was average at best. His two best middleweight wins were supposedly fixed...
Ed you are ignoring a very important point: why was Louis-Lewis chosen as an indoor fight? Answer: Because Jacobs didnt think it would draw....
Proof of what? Proof that Jacobs agreed to fight Franklin? Here: “Franklin Must Start Over - Loss Humiliates Hurley” Fitzgerald, Fargo Forum...

It isnt up to us to educate you. You simply lost an arhument and cant admit you were wrong. Its happened countless times on here before and will...
