I read $140,000 in KO Magazine, Inside Boxing or International Boxing. Doesn't mean you're not correct. (At the time, I preferred the glossier...
Review the footage of Langford-Jeannette X again, which Unforgiven thoughtfully introduced to this thread. After all the previous bouts Joe had...
What disgusted me about that one was that Kalule got a measly $140,000 for losing his title and undefeated record, while Ray got at least a couple...
Hope this link helps, K. (Note the date of the argument and date the 8-0 ruling stunningly in favor of Ali was handed down.):...

Ali-Spinks II. Granted, Muhammad was shot in their first bout, but Leon was also a ball of fire. In their rematch though, Leon's head wasn't in...
Everybody I know who has viewed the speed corrected projected movie films (as opposed to inferior quality videotape or youtube footage) of...
Something which needs to be considered when thinking about the reality of these years is that he only had the impacted tooth on the left side of...
