Duran isn't a wildly headhunting Pryor. He'd concentrate on the body, and keep at it while mindful of slipping Locche's counters. It's a punching...
At some point, I expect Pryor to land on Benitez. Wilfred did not have Locche's chin. Wilfred was a great boxer, but once the Hawk had a man hurt,...
No, obviously he wasn't, but I think Pryor had more to do with that than advancing age alone would account for. However, the penultimate win of...
If he was, he wouldn't have aged as poorly as he has. Could Roy's chin even hold up to the Holmes jab? (The Holmes of Ocasio would have killed...

Shavers was a star player on the scholastic gridiron, and he set high school track records which stood for years. Carl Williams was well...
He knocked out Arguello in their rematch, and knocked out Pambele to originally win that title. Cervantes still had something left, knocking out...
If Tony's power is being underrated, then not enough people are reading what Ron Lipton had to say about it. The thud of his whacks against Max...
