The difference with Greb is, that he has this amazing record, that justifies giving him a high ranking. While we haven't actually seen Greb fight,...
Why do you pretend not to understand, what my point is... that not a single one of Callis' top-10 fighters have fought in recent times. You don't...
It's not an argument - it's an observation. You don't find it interesting, that a respected historian has ancient boxers like Nonpareil and...
Hard to imagine that Nelson would be able to handle a modern boxer as good as Arguello. Stoppage win for Alexis.
It's interesting to note, that 3 of the men (Mitchell, Nonpareil and Fitz) in Callis' top-5 were born during an 18 month period from 1861 to 1863,...
A lot has happened since 2010! Greb and McLarnin now share the record for most HOFers fought (16). Greb holds wins over 15 of his HOFers - with...
Other pre-WW1 southpaws who deserve a mention include George KO Chaney (debut 1910), Johnny Wilson (1912), Lew Tendler (1913), and Fred Fulton...
Of course they do! How often do we see old historians pick a modern fighter over someone, they saw in the flesh 50 years earlier, when they were...

I'm curious: In your opinion, how many fights did it take Wilder to "earn" the right to be considered the favorite against Burns?
I have a hard time thinking of 30 (or even 25) guys below 175, who should be favored to beat Ward. I would be interested to see, who you have in mind.
High ring IQ, unique talent... great fighter!
Yes, it's hard to think, it could be any worse than this. 14 1st-round defeats in a row… pretty sure that must be a record!
It's just one of those things I make a note of, when I find something interesting/strange/fun in a boxer's record. I don't know of any function on...
Jose Carlos Amaral of Brazil lost his first 35 in a row. http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/6711
