Hearns neither overachieved or underachieved. While still a teenage contender, he was projected as a potential four division champion (an awesome...
Mac probably would have gotten Bob's shot if JQ hadn't upset him in June 1970. Horrendous timing for the USMC veteran, and USAF Bob gets the shot...
Again why I'd like to see Fernandez-Davis, Jr. The only running Vilomar was doing in that one was directly at Howard from the opening bell, and he...
Fernandez is a dude whose complete bouts against Duran, Davis, Jr., Kenty, Arguello I & II, and at least a couple other televised bouts should...
Dempsey was famously photographed signing a contract with Wills to fight Harry, and Wills himself said it wasn't Jack's fault it never came off....
I think a case can be made that this was Ken's best performance. (Of any length at least. Bobick was an anomaly for Norton, as Ken was actually a...
Now, this may be all-important in a 1980 Duran-Hearns WW unification where Tommy had yet to be "exposed" by SRL. With Hearns-Cuevas fresh in...
It took place four years after the optimal moment for Duran to take him on, and when they were both ten pounds heavier than they would have been...
Hearns, coming off Cuevas, against Duran coming off Montreal, to unify the welterweight title in late 1980. If El Cholo had signed for Tommy...
He was moving in to stop the fight before Jerry unloaded that shot, and his momentum had already committed him to moving between them when he saw...
Jimmy Ellis was suggested to be weight drained and over trained at 189 for Ali in 1971. But boxWRECK indicates he was back at that weight for his...
Very plausible conclusion. The fact remains that Sonny utterly dominated Leotis prior to round eight. Cosell mentioned that the left hook Liston...
I've posted on this before, and felt that Jerry buckled Ken with that right just as the referee was stepping in to call a halt. Even if this is...
As we know, Leotis told Cosell he wanted Frazier next. That would have been interesting. Does Martin look to bomb Joe out in round one, or does he...
It was stunning to see the way he abruptly deflated late in the previous round and sagged to the ropes, a sudden turnaround Cosell reported...
