Nonpareil Jack Dempsey actually fits, when going by the Ring Record Book. Fleischer did not count the two failures to knock out Billy Baker as...
I tend to favor Smoke in this one, because of that Louis dislike for crowding, and Frazier's activity in the area of upper body movement and work...
Being able to read and write, he might actually be less susceptible to things like shady contracts, and how's a quick and smooth talker going to...
It's easy to say Marvis needed more experience, but as Magoo pointed out, Larry was pushing 34, had the scare with Witherspoon earlier in the...

And that's the whole essence of what makes this such a compelling question. For supporters of Duran, of course that argument is that Montreal is...
Thanks. This was really a question of which of JQ's legions of fanboys here would spot your thread first. (I didn't restrain myself here as I do...
