I made a mistake and voted draw but I think Lewis must be viewed as the favorite here. However, I think Wlad has a better shot than the wide...
You point is well taken and you argue it well. One weakness is that Dempsey did not just come up a little short in 1926. He was more or less...
"Tyson" I'm talking about when Tyson would have had the form to be considered one of the top five heavyweights, not when he was about to lose to...
I don't know what others have said or where this thread has gone, but I think Tunney beats any version of Dempsey more often than not. Dempsey...
"most believe Vitali was far ahead on the cards" So do I, but as I posted earlier, I don't judge a horse on the backstretch. I judge it at the...

"Vitali was ahead on rounds" I don't judge a horse on the backstretch. I judge a horse at the finish line.
"Big difference between losses" Yes, and you mentioned one. You didn't mention that Walcott went further against Marciano than Vitali has with...
"Vitali was slow as a snail" Especially with his punches. If Walcott could last 25 rounds with Louis without being knocked down or even...
