I believe so. He was rated from September, 1967 to July, 1970, for a total of 25 months. I also think Ellis would have done pretty well if there...
I believe that Ellis fought and beat much better opponents then Cockell did. If you compare just the Heavyweight Contenders each of them beat,...
Yes, I know Neumann very well too. His son Patrick just started boxing in the New York Golden Gloves and he invited me down to see him. As far as...
I agree that he was Rocky's weakest opponent when he was Champion. David Bey was rated as high as #3 for over 2 years when Holmes and Spinks were...
I take Holmes here by a UD. When Young dropped Foreman it was in the 12th and final round. Foreman didn't have anything left in his tank.

Here's what I put down when I was comparing Ali and Louis: Each boxer I have rated for Ali, was rated in the top 3 at one time or another. These...
That wouldn't take as long as you think it would especially if your just going by year end ratings. Like I stated before, I am working on all the...
Yes, I did it using all the ratings for every month. I think its because there were so many boxers back when, and they all kept fighting each...
I agree, BUT you'll have to admit, Cockell was stopped many times during his career. That is not the record for being stopped the most times...
Actually Valdez was still rated until Feb. 1960, Liston beat him in Aug. 1959, BUT that's a very good point. Liston also beat my good friend Chuck...
I agree, BUT none of those middleweights stopped Ellis like they did Cockell. After his loss to Benton in November, 1964, he gained some weight...
Cockell was KO'ed out 9 times during his career, 6 before he fought Rocky. I have watched the films of that bout and we can all see what kind of...
