Povetkin, at 6-2, 225-30 had better stamina, better skills, and much better infighting than 1970s Foreman who at his best (Frazier fight) was 6-3,...
have you seen Latif Mundy? I think he'd qualify under this thread title although he was never a contender and finished 10-9. He's a Philly fighter...
Jumping rope can help with footwork, but just because a boxer can jump rope well doesn't mean he has good footwork. Boxers need to learn correct...
We were at an amateur tournament once, there was a guy jumping rope for his warm up, he must have jumped rope for 20 minutes doing every trick...

it does show how bad the era was! At one time I was impressed by Joe Louis, but at that time I had only seen highlight videos of him knocking out...
the telling part is that Butterbean was treated as strictly a four round fighter in his era, a gimmick fighter who was never a contender....
I never thought that a fight between a guy 6-7 and a guy 6-9 would interest me. Usually people that size win because they're big, not because of...
Rademacher dropped Patterson, some of the good amateurs who have recently turned pro would probably have beaten Patterson in their first pro...
If Bonavena got to Ali with his talking before the fight, Fury would probably make Ali so mad he'd forget to box and come out swinging at the...
I wouldn't be shocked if Fury beats anybody, he is extremely skilled. Skilled in the way that fighters who come from boxing families are skilled....
