As good as Duran was, Whitaker isn't getting KO'd here. I like Duran more but Pete was great - his skillset was elite and he's at risk of getting...
The only caveat is would his chin fare as well as Holyfield's did?
I would think he could have tweaked the shoulder in the first round potentially when he was reaching the most with the jab, after this, I don't...
Liston is a faster fighter 1958 - 1962ish and I believe that a combination of the Patterson fights as well as the Cooper KD were the worst things...
I don't see how prime Liston stops prime Ali and because I don't think he stops him, the speed disparity of punch and feet means that I would...
I'll agree with this completely. I'm not sure whether it's partly weaker minded fighters or the mystique of the Ali media job, a mixture of both...
I think his jaw was reasonable and that he showed good durability to body shots. I guess I, too often, perhaps unfairly, compare him to an Ali,...
Fair assessment - I struggle with this one myself. It's a bit like Tyson or Louis or many other HW greats. You very rarely get an elite fighter...
Perhaps, I did overcook it - I should choose my language better. Archie Moore is an exception, a very rare exception of one of the most skilled...
I never offered an excuse - simply said, his chin wasn't questioned until he had gone up and come down. @JohnThomas1 pretty much covered the main...
Hearns and Benitez had some of the best stare downs I've ever seen.
I think it's evident on film that the Ali of 1971 wasn't as fleet of foot or as speedy or fluent in his punching as that of 1967. Frazier beat...
Jones took clean punches from B-Hop and Toney with no issue. I'm far from calling him iron-chinned but I don't think Jones' chin was an issue for...
Jones is impressive on film and I do actually believe that you can make a case for him being a top 3 H2H fighter from MW to LHW - at his best, his...
Most people are in their physical prime at those ages - I'd like you to demonstrate another elite fighter that relies on his feet and reflex like...
