Sonny's jab would give Max the countering opportunities he preferred. Foreman would be much worse for Schmeling because George would shove Max...
My take also. Rocky could beat the **** out of Roy without landing a single scoring blow. It's not just the arms, biceps and shoulders which take...
Diligent training isn't really a substitute for competition though, as anybody who bets on such things as horse races understands. SRL was somehow...
I don't feel he had Tillis hurt all that much, while Douglas was far more than a flash knockdown in a critical situation. For me, the definitive...
Take a look at what Archie does to big Embrell Davidson again. The Mongoose needs just one shot to put Roy out for the count, and it can come from...
I can cut Frazier slack for not defending against Mac Foster, the one top shelf puncher of Joe's prime he didn't take on, because Mac failed to...
I hadn't seen Ali-Buddy Wolfe before. Kenny Jay was a pure jobber, putting Muhammad over, but Wolfe was a headliner at the time, and it's...

Man, I'm just not certain (at least not yet) how to properly interpret those 13 career knockdowns currently recorded against Ken by:pissboxWRECK....
I wonder what people would think of Smoke's chin if they viewed Foreman-Frazier II without ever having seen Foreman-Frazier I. (Ditto if they saw...
I don't believe there's ever been an irresistible force in boxing, hence there have been immovable objects. Unless Earnie pulls off the sort of...
It was Larry himself who said Gerry could take it to the chin all night long, but when he was hit on the temple, "He wobbles like a duck." Holmes...
Since I just now also posted this in the Cobb-Shavers thread, check out what happens starting at 1:55: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aQ9yhrsVQs
Tillis wasn't really green at this time, not with the championship distance against Weaver behind him. Tillis-Shavers was like Holmes-Shavers II,...
The quote I got from boxing publications at the time was that Kalule got $140,000 for defending, while SRL got a couple million or more out of...
