    Should Buster Douglas have taken a couple of easy title defenses first?

    There are supremely bright people who prioritize other things over money; look at the lives of Wittgenstein and Tolstoy. I think it's safe to say...

    The most suspect tale-of-the-tape measurements?

    A an article in The Ring I read as a kid related an anecdote (I think from Duran's trainer) in which Duran is supposed to have said after meeting...

    Reggie Johnson - Is Roy Jones the only fighter to really beat him?

    Toney vs Johnson is one of the very first fights I ever watched all the way through (like literally among the first three or four) and it seemed...

    Louis vs Walcott prime for prime?

    I'm sure it's been done before but I don't remember it. They were about the same age, but it's strongly apparent that Walcott aged unusually well...

    Do you miss Don King?

    That may be so, but that's really in no way exculpatory of the predatory activities of people who may be a little smarter. (Not that you're...

    If Marciano never fought Joe Louis would it have affected either of their legacies?

    There would certainly be speculation about what would have happened, and I guarantee you there would be a vocal minority claiming Macriano ducked...

    If Marciano never fought Joe Louis would it have affected either of their legacies?

    Louis wasn't really that old chronologically -but he was clearly shot. He moved stiffly and and even though he was only 37 he looked 50. If you...

    Which of the following fighters are "SuperHeavyWeight?"

    That's the danger of extrapolating long term conclusions from short terms trends, and assuming that correlations are self-evidently etiological....

    Jerry Quarry vs Roy Jones, Jr

    If Larry Holmes had fought Jimmy Young, who would have won?

    Shavers v the top 5 heavies today how would he have fared?
