And Antuofermo, who tangled with southpaw champions Hope, Hagler and Minter, was among those who said they're only southpaws until you get inside,...
I can't find evidence that Chuvalo's great Canadian rival, Bob Cleroux, was ever floored. (Unlike George, he was never stopped either.) Juan...
The aggressive attack of his youth would have been very bad news for Tommy's chin. If Morrison came in at the outset planning to hit and run...

I think a title defense versus Machen would have been a very good idea for Sonny. Eddie was on a good streak during Liston's reign, and was only...
A big hook was not the weapon needed against Holmes. Larry had a lifetime of learning how to cope with them in sparring with Frazier. Holmes would...
