Hey, I'll play for a bit. Let's have a look... Larry Holmes - 15% Lennox Lewis - 9% Mike Tyson - 9% Evander Holyfield - 4%
I think that's exactly it, it's down to the people themselves and a lot of guys might either not be bothered or not think about doing so until...
If there aren't those A-grade opponents to fight, then you have to go for a quantity approach - keep winning, unify the belts and make lots of...
Amateur records are often very spotty, even for well-known fighters. I've seen Lennox Lewis listed with anything from 82 to 109 amateur fights,...

The Ruiz DQ win against Johnson was, sadly, pretty legit. Not only was Johnson really bad in that fight, but he had prior history when it came...
I'd put good money on Chagaev to outbox Valuev even better this time round. I don't think Evander would be interested in Valuev without a title,...
1. Who did you have winning? Holyfield 116-112. Really bad fight though, so little action. And no doubt Valuev did rally, of sorts, over the...
