Of course he could hold his own. The "cruiserweights" he fought and beat were as big as the top 70s fighters, so he wouldn't be too small. I'm...
The Muhammad's, Eddie and Matthew had solid chins. Michael Spinks, Dwight Qawi also had great chins.
Up until the late 60s or so, it wasn't uncommon for the top fighters of the division to be 185-199 pounds. As great as Sonny Liston was, his best...
Well that would be true if Marciano consistently lost to bigger opponents. But the over 200 pounders he dis beat, people will just say they suck....
Yeah but I still think Marciano should be rated highly, if not the greatest heavyweight of all time. Beat anyone that mattered, never ducked...
Good thing Herbie Hide wasn't around in the 70s. Herbie rules the division
Agree with your picks but Thomas still had enough in the tank to pull off a win.
This wracks my brain. Bowe was a bit bigger and more fundamentally sound and was better than Lyle and hit about as hard. However, he was there...
I think vs 1994 Foreman, Spinks could have done as good as Moorer. Probably better as he wouldn't have stood in front of Foreman like Moorer did.
Foreman connects at some point. Spinks would have to be on his bicycle and doing a Jimmy Young. Most likely outcome is Foreman by KO. A way...
And instead for their accomplishments in the ring. Marciano gets knocked for fighting "light heavyweights". But those men were real heavyweights...
Who knows. I mean, maybe so, especially with gene editing. I was watching the super bowl and an interesting Stat came on screen. The average...
You can only beat whoever is in front of you. It would be like faulting Usyk for not beating a 7'0 300 pound version of Lennox Lewis that will be...
Marciano for me. Undefeated
I believe that Max Schmeling was the oldest heavyweight champion on record, having lived to be 99 years old. Jack Sharkey made it to 91.
