Thats not up to Louis. Promoters and matchmakers decide who they think they can make money with and then build the fight. Its not up to Louis to...
I agree with this comment, and believe me, Suzie and I have gone round and round before, but I don't recall him making that assertion. I don't...
Justice. There was no justice in Louis racing to fight a guy who couldn't even maintain his status as a contender for HALF A YEAR... Four of the 8...

The elephant in the room here is that Foreman was a six foot three inch 225 pound black man who happened to be very good. Sound like anyone...
I think people would be surprised at how many of these Shavers would lose. The guy was very limited. He could punch but he had a glass jaw, bad...
Very ballsy pick. Consider that Ali came out of a 3 year layoff and took on the top 2 contenders and then champion back to back in three fights in...
