Question: Does Byrd get any credit for starting his career off at middleweight and for the fact that he probably should have been fighting in the...
Actually, at least according to boxrec, the Rooney fight was just before the first Pryor bout. That aside, I think it's interesting that both guys...
I've always liked Marvin, but having a chance lately to see more and more lesser known fights from his prime leads to a greater appreciation. As...
I voted for Hearns, almost solely on the basis that his power stuck with him better as he moved up in weight, because otherwise there's little to...

Hell of a fight, probably winds up a toss-up either way. Small nitpick: I've never seen Pryor counterpunch like Shane is capable of doing, (when...
