Has anyone asked, what happens to Wlad's legacy if he loses to Pulev?
"Should we **** on David Haye because he did nothing after fighting Wlad?" "Yes, we should all take a **** on David Haye." "Agreed." I...
SuzieQ I don't understand. I thought you put Vitali in your top 20, largely on the basis of how well he did in his 37 to 41 year old comeback?...
I noticed that. There does seem to be a lot of Johnny one-notes on this board who really aren't up to discussing much else besides size, and are...
There was no cruiserweight division in the 1950's. Ewart Potgieter at 7' 2" and 330 lbs was fighting in a division in which Marciano was...

Might I ask if losing to all the guys he was losing to didn't drop Miteff out of the ratings, why should losing to the much more formidable Liston...
Just a point on Miteff, though. Going into the Williams fight, he had lost 3 of his last 4, 5 of his last 9, and 7 of his last 14. Miteff was a...
