Photographers watched the feet of the boxers competing so that they knew when a power punch was being attempted, in order to click the shutter in...
I've read allegations that X-rays taken of Liston's shoulder after Miami Beach indeed showed a legitimate injury sustained, as a result of...
It's unfortunate that Gans wasn't able to conclusively nail down a claim at welterweight. Maybe he would have avoided the brutal weight making...
This entertaining allegation of glove loading is the Rasputin of boxing yarns. Nearly half a century after Doc Kearns was conclusively debunked by...
