Duran vs Leonard (first fight, anyway).
He [Curtis] was registered as born in 1929. Anything beyond that, has not been released yet. In addition to that, most objective sources...
In the Sand Slough, Arkansas census, there is no birth named "Charles" listed before the 1930's. His older brother Curtis was registered as born...
We've had this thread several times recently; according to the census, Liston's "maximum" age was 34 when he fought Ali.
.... Then he would still have been thrashed by Liston and Ali. He may have survived a bit longer against Liston, but it's the way in which Liston...
I couldn't help but thinking he was somewhat vulnerable in his last fight with Clottey. He is an outstanding fighter, don't get me wrong, but he...
It may not have been a Castillo-Coralles type of war, but Peter sure as hell took a shitload of huge right hands, all night long. Let's not forget...

Hmm, i'm not too sure about that. Marquez seems to be a bit of slow starter. Pac trashed him early in both of their bouts and Diaz looking like he...
Sounds like bull**** to me. I know about the fight or flight mechanism, but i highly doubt there's an evolutional advantage to taking a ****...
I started at one month shy of 23. The talk that you can't look fluent unless you start at early age is bull****. Some guys always look herky jerky...
On one hand, Mayweather is not a puncher, but he is ~10lbs bigger than Marquez, who has never fought at a weight this high. Plus, he's very...
Nate is right...... i'd pick Bradley to beat him in a rematch (which i'd love to see), but a headbutt can really **** you up and do permanent damage.
I think Liston would continue to lose his focus and eventually get upset by someone who he "shouldn't" lose to; a Quarry, Ellis, Bonavena or...
I think the key in understanding this, is not so much that they have a thing for safety-first fighters or more tolerance for them, but rather...
