what are your thoughts about this rarely (if ever) discussed fighter? Gaining headlines as the adopted son of Floyd Patterson, Tracy was...
Louis Ali Dempsey Marciano (when in his prime)
I remember how one magazine story actually made vicious fun of Page and Tubbs in their writeup of the fight, saying things like Tubbs distracted...
:lol: To read the monthly panning of the heavyweight landscape in the magazines then, no one ever referred to it as "storybook," that's for sure....
Ah, go for it. Historically it was important as it began the string of "80's heavyweight alphabet titlists."
It was tepid, I thought.
Seen Dokes-Weaver 2? Difficult to score and kind of tedious. There seemed to be a tacit agreement between them to trade rounds. At least until...
I definitely have 'Spoon at #3, yeah. Dokes is frankly unimpressive, very strange blend of great habd speed with terrible legs. Odd to be so...
I remember the boxing magazines at the time were very heavily invested in the idea of Thomas as The Next Great Heavyweight since it was obvious...
That was a good one. I always liked Sims, who suffered in comparison to his brother obviously, but who was quite good himself.
Weaver is good heavyweight value. I also like his fight with Thomas.
Eerie. Just yesterday I was trying to think of a new fight to watch when out of the blue an image of a photo I'd seen in a magazine years ago...
Honeyghan-Vaca is an interesting choice. Not likely to see that one on many lists.
Great summation. Yeah, I cringed every time Lee launched one of those long left hands. Dewitt ducked just about every one of them though.
Yup.
