Thanks for the info ID. (For some reason, I want to call you "Benito," "Benny," or just "Ben.") I wasn't sure about the chronology. What do you...
Well, he was undefeated until Michael Spinks. Tyson and Holyfield were the only two decisive losses of his career. Inside that undefeated streak...
Very possibly also diluting his knockout percentage afterward. He stopped previously unbeaten Blue Lewis in nine, then gets taken to an SD win in...
Jerry Quarry showed what a naturally bigger heavyweight than himself like Dempsey would have done to Shavers. (And yes, Jack was naturally bigger...
Jack Dempsey himself was part of an oppressed racial minority. His mother Celia Smoot was of mixed Irish and Choctaw descent, while he had a...
Ron Lyle stated on youtube that Shavers was a harder puncher than Foreman (4:20-4:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nl8rabZMIA Muhammad Ali...

And with three officials scoring in California, who gets the vacant title between Floyd and Ellis when Jimmy is not the defending champion? With...
Berbick was better against Ali than he was against Holmes and S.T. Gordon (the latter very possibly a walking tank job). He was much better...
I knew from you that he had won, but had forgotten it happened that early. (It was a competition I watched very sporadically. I didn't know Jerry...
Good answer. Tyson himself has said he considered himself as champion when he beat Berbick, but as long as Michael Spinks remained undefeated and...
Jerry said while he was still lucid that he was pushed into boxing while he was far too young to have a choice in the matter, let alone consent to...
Well, if he wasn't cremated but has a physical grave, and I ever find it, maybe I won't be so nice. (Think desecration by defecation. I have some...
In the ABC Superstars competition during the 1970s, his all around athleticism was on display, and he did prove to be a better contestant than...
:patschYou're right! (Maybe we should call him Diarrhea Bobick because of what happened when he got hit by Stevenson, Norton, Knotze and Tate.)
