The most striking example that comes to my mind is Bob Foster. Can anyone top that? (I'm sure they can, which I'll be curious to hear.)
I honestly don't think Tyson is anywhere near the top of the list in absolute power. It's his combination of speed and power that's so...
I'll tell you why it's interesting to me: There's nothing better than the intersecting careers of Tyson, Holmes, Holyfield and their common...
Yeah, and I neglected to mention Holmes was probably stronger and better in the clinch. (Funny how loosely that seems to overlap with punching power.)
Come now, there's no question whatsoever that Marciano can knock him out in potentsia -it's a question of whether he can get close enough and land...
Yeah, excellent point about Smith. Also, I think there's very little chance Holmes would have done as well as he did in his forties if he didn't...
Well, this example may be a bit (or more than a bit) strained, but he took out Marvis in one round, something Bonecrusher Smith not only couldn't...
I think Walcott and Charles both make him look oafish. I think you really have to be convinced that power is the cardinal asset, and to have...
Sullivan and Smith? Interesting. Care to elaborate?
This is kind of a throwaway thread I'm starting on a whim, and I'm sure this has been discussed before... but if so I've never seen it. So then...
Not to pick nits, but it seems to met me it would be less misleading to say Holmes has more of a reach advantage over Walcott than a size...
I heard somewhere that Jeffries offered to fight his top 5 contenders in one night once, and they declined, but that almost has to be apocryphal....
He tried to give his name and as I said I asked him to repeat it several times. We were also walking down a crowded sidewalk during heavy traffic....
This is a really easy one for me. Ali and Joe Louis. The best defensive heavyweight of all time vs the best offensive one. Their abilities...
I knew the chances that I'd figure out with any confidence who this fellow was were slim, but I also knew people would at least have some...
