My take on that article 1--Wills' height. The old Ring Record Book listed him as 6' 4" and was compiled by guys who knew Harry well. Off photos,...
Louis didn't have to because Baer was the one who fought out of a crouch and was aggressive. He actually carried the fight to Louis in the early...
Just on Tyson Fury. I haven't been impressed with him either on his accomplishments so far nor on how he looks. He has some skill and can...
The early Buddy Baer fight I've seen is the one with Jack Doyle from 1935. My ex-trainer friend watched a couple of Carnera matches with me....

Thanks for the great clip. It was valuable seeing the early Moore.
To the OP and the original question--yes, I have seen the uncut version. There is a kinescope tape of the theatre TV feed of the bout which was...
The problem with this thread (and I haven't read every post) is that I don't know that many view Graziano as anything more than what he was--a...
