I have no great objection to your conclusions. From what I've seen of Liston, he used his strength primarily to stand his ground, not in the...
Sonny's jab and straight punching do it for him. Jeff needed to get closer to deploy his hook than Liston would allow. Jeffries wasn't really an...
I actually scored Ali the winner over Berbick, 97-93. I felt he controlled the movement within the ring (generalship), outscored Berbick handily...
Bonavena was more consistent, but when Jerry was on his game, like he was with Mathis and Spencer, he was brilliant. Best against best, Jerry...
They had a relatively slow paced match in 1970, but certainly competitive enough to make a rematch promotable. Ali later sustained a far more...
Bugner was tall enough, fast enough, skilled enough and tough enough that his retreating style of boxing would work against an opponent who was...
I'll take the Ali of 1967 to prevail over the Holmes of 1978, but not 1982. The difference? Larry had Ritchie Giachetti in 1978, and Eddie Futch...
When aroused, as he was when he flattened Denis, Bugner could be extremely dangerous. Generally though, I found him to be a safety first boxer who...
LeDoux took on Lyle and Norton back to back in 1979. Scott dropped Ron early (a fact omitted by :pissboxWRECK), and Ken late (after thumbing...
Norton beat Ali six years after Muhammad's peak performance against Williams. Ken does not manage to get close on the scorecards with the Ali of...
Bob Arum was asked about rematching Hagler with Duran and Hearns on the respective mornings after each bout had taken place. In the case of Duran,...
Max didn't just have a terrific chin, but underrated defensive skills. Some of this is in evidence when King Levinski tried to sucker punch him in...
Buster Douglas had some hideous distractions before Tyson, as did Mike Spinks before Qawi. Both turned in outstanding performances. Sometimes,...
I largely agree with Bokaj. Ali took on the tallest top heavyweights of his day. On the rare occasions he did box short against a taller...
Excellent match up. Much depends on how smart Tommy is. Obviously, his hook is his best weapon, but the best way to deploy it with a southpaw is...
