With a losing record by a margin of ONE defeat, and only three stoppage losses in 144 bouts, I think Lowry qualifies for mention, and I'm somewhat...
Johnson could be out hustled, and Frazier was considerably stronger than Burns. Ali's speed, height and reach would also pose problems. Jack would...
Was Rocky the first reigning titleholder to get to 49-0 though? :think (I believe this is correct, but I haven't explored it closely.) I know...
If a 207 pound Ken Norton could get flattened multiple times and blasted out by a skinny, scrawny, bony, puny 6'4" 188 pound stringbean upstart...
As fat and out of shape as Eddie was, he never took a backwards step, and seemed to carry all the power against Snipes. That match nearly cost...

I've always been outspoken in my belief that Jerry could have beaten George, but I think Bugner has been overlooked for his potential to outlast...
Maybe Greg would still be alive and well if that hadn't happened? (Didn't this episode have a major bearing on his fatal decision to come back?)
It's a lovely thought. Ray tries to replicate Mike Quarry's ring perimeter boxing tactics before getting nearly decapitated senseless. Personally,...
He was a real friend of the sport, frequently expressing concern for the moribund state of boxing during the late 1960s and early 1970s, which he...

My chief memory of their match is the right to the body which folded Johnson in half at 2:01 of that clip. Marvin worked his ass off for that one,...
Cosell repeatedly emblazoned the concept that he lost the three best years of his fighting life to exile into the public consciousness. Frazier...
Ali left no doubt about that. But he was no longer a single punch specialist during his latter championship career, and just getting close enough...
