I agree. Nobody had come close to standing up to The Beast like that and lived to tell about it. (Hard Rock Green was a total bad ass with Mugabe,...
Perez claimed to have had an auditory hallucination, hearing the bell when it had yet to go off. Looking at the replay yet again, I don't think...
The Ali of Frazier II and Foreman comes out on top here. He still had ten successful title defenses ahead of him. Jack Johnson was already 30...

The man could be a thug, hardly a clean Gene. (Some of this may well have been picked up from the first tangle with Greb.) Tunney won the...
Interesting, that Gavilan and Barbados Joe Walcott did not make the cut.
