Good question. Some people hit extremely hard but don't win consistently. A good example was "Memphis" Al Jones, (11-35-2). He didn't have a good...
Retzlaff should be the poster boy for why you don't lead with a left hook from outside. He threw the long left hook and walked/stumbled right into...
Qawi beats them both. Qawi wouldn't have to make 175, he could come in at whatever weight is comfortable but the Qawi who beat James Scott and...

guess that find by Kevin brings this discussion to a screeching halt? Must be the most emphatic end of a discussion in the history of message boards?
I was fortunate to have these guys as trainers. They never romanticized the business of boxing (professional or amateur) but they loved the...
There were some gyms in other areas, but the trainers for the most part weren't good. We had a trainer who fought Liston, Williams, DeJohn, etc....
