Marciano never would have come back, unless he could replicate the intensity and duration of his former training regimen. For the staged...
It's hard for me to look at Loughran-Braddock, and see Jimmy produce a different result against Carnera. Braddock did get the best of 6'4" Art...
Swarmer did bring up Nicotino:smoke in post #5. Locche, like Canto, wasn't tall for his weight, nor was he gifted with a great punch. However,...
I think having a great chin is a physical gift in the sphere of boxing. Toney was a 200 pound high school QB. Yes, it can be a cerebral position,...
Ali was so big that he was a state guest of Breznev in the Soviet Union. In 1980, his match with Holmes was broadcast to both the USSR and...
Ali wanted to continue against Holmes, and Bundini was representing his wishes in protesting to Dundee. But the following day, Muhammad admitted...
Perhaps. Cervantes could also hit though, and he never had Locche in apparent distress during their rematch. (Cervantes-Locche II should not have...

Fuji lands a big right hand 30 seconds into round seven (00:37 on the youtube timer), then again at 1:35 of round eight (04:53 on the youtube...
Nelson Tarleton is a legend, and a likely eventual inductee into the IBHOF. Nel only had one lung from the age of two, yet became one of only...
I think Lyle does beat the post Inoki Ali, boxing the way he did in their 1975 showdown. After Inoki, Muhammad never showed that he could have...
These are great finds, and help put in perspective just who it was that Locche stopped to become a world champion. Fuji actually did land his...
Indeed, isn't it strange? Yet we have just a single venue movie camera recording for archival purposes to thank for the fact that Lyle-Shavers is...
Foreman is a massive, massive win. On the strength of that alone, he gets enormous mileage. Then there are the dual wins over Lyle. Jimmy doesn't...
According to what Jimmy said, a bloody nose is all that caused that third round TKO. Young isn't with us anymore, but Shavers is alive and well....
