Due to styles, Ken may never have been an easy bout for Ali, but I can see Muhammad continuing the pattern set by the first several rounds of...
This is what makes the performances of Holmes and Foreman at that age so staggering at the time. Marciano trained hard for that reenactment, but...
Over the championship distance, the superbly conditioned Ali of the second Norton bout decisions any version of Ken in a close UD. Norton was...
Ali was also on his bike when his right produced the first knockdown on Williams, so it wasn't as if the Lewiston knockdown was a unique one time...
Yes, Martin sustained a retinal tear against Liston, a career ending injury in those days. Leotis knocked Sonny out, but Liston retired him. When...

Archie Moore cited Ali's neck yanking tactic as the key factor in causing the fatigue which led to Foreman being knocked out. As George himself...
Fair enough. Chuvalo did say an uppercut DeJohn buckled him with was the hardest single shot he took in his career, and it's somewhat surprising...
Hmmm...Graham was reportedly knocked to a knee with a round 14 Gavilan right during their fourth bout in Havana, apparently the only time Billy...

Again, this was with Giachetti in the Holmes corner, not Futch. With Eddie's training and instructions, a match between these two would have...
Armstrong was blind sided and mugged by a gang when he was advanced in years. Although Hank emerged from the scrape in reasonable shape, he didn't...
True. Of course we're not seeing the complete match here, but I find it notable that Billy's not leading with his right or hooking to the body as...
