His inclusion in the IBHOF is a matter of political correctness due to regional bias, a gesture of tokenism. My father attended the induction...
Right after Mac Foster slammed Jerry with his hardest right cross, JQ slammed into overdrive, and it was over before the round was out. Joe...
I think Frazier's first fight with Jerry Quarry qualifies here. Ring's 1969 FOTY was really competitive for only the first couple of rounds, and...
This was a blurb with a photograph of a disrobed Odom heading through the crowd in one of my boxing magazines. (At the time, I thought his...
What beer? Old Milwaukee? Narragansett? (Like Robert Shaw's Quint in Jaws?) Bud? Sam Adams? Moose ****? Coors?

Tony wasn't just lethal with that hook, but he was also very quick with his fists, and has been acknowledged for having a fine double jab. If it...
