He did kick Bert Cooper's ass pretty good after a competitive round one.
I think quite a bit of the credit goes to Futch. Few fighters regressed without their trainer more than Bowe did without Futch.
I agree with you on all counts, Saad. A lot of the posters here never watched Rossi's fights as they happened, and gain an understanding outside...
I knew you would respond to this thread. It is right in your wheelhouse. That being said, I think you like Rossi better than I did.
Yes he did play basketball. His team won the Division 1 (biggest division) state championship in Ohio.
Prime vs prime, Holmes by wide decision or late stoppage. Old Holmes vs prime Byrd would be closer. But Larry from the Mercer fight still might...
Louis, then Holmes,.............. Then Klitschko
I lean towards Povetkin.
Virgil Hill by wide UD, or late TKO. Hill does almost everything better than Stevenson.
Tough fight to call. Benn from the McClellan fight, beats Ward. But, anything less than Benn's best would likely result in a boring decision loss.
Obviously, he should have. But, like many fighters, he needed the money. Amazingly, he still picked up a few decent KO wins (Golota, Botha)....
Based on how little Kovalev seems to enjoy return fire, I would go with Sullivan. (Prime Sullivan, that is. Not the version that lost to Corbett)
No.
Wilder could get lucky and catch Shavers, but, I think Shavers gets there first for a brutal KO. Quarry beats the living **** out of Wilder....
You are giving Rahman far too much credit. He was KO'd twice by Oleg Maskaev, and went life and death with clubfighter Obed Sullivan. Absent one...
