Norton barely missed an utterly shot Jerry in 1975, while Spencer had a terrible time trying to connect in 1968. The smart, elusive JQ of the...
I really wanted to hear what Mike had to say after "Hammerhead" left Rahman looking like a hammerhead shark. The fact is that butts do win fights,...
In reviewing this match with Cosell, Ali actually gave him credit for his defensive guard and courage. I never heard him claim that he could have...
That's my call also. Mercer was no great shakes in 1991. Before Holmes schooled him, Ray had to come from behind to stop Morrison, and Damiani put...
Ali slipped by degrees. Several times, I've suggested that Shavers may have caused more neurological damage to Muhammad than has commonly been...
What's interesting is that George himself seems to agree with this. Nobody could punch out or physically overpower a prime Jerry early, not an...
If Holyfield had grown his hair out and straightened it over his ears, they would not have been such an inviting target, so I blame Evander for...
Overlooked in the wake of the Griffith-Paret tragedy is the fact that Gene Fullmer's war with Benny was the final win of Gene's career. Yes, his...
A dark horse candidate: Walker W10 Uzcudun. Mickey was on a 28 fight undefeated streak going in, nobody had beaten him decisively since 1926, and...
Both Frazier and Michael had a reputation for slow starts, but Joe did show with Ziggy, Ramos and Daniels that he could charge right out of the...
He was so much better against Bob Foster and Thad Spencer than he was against Ali, that I sometimes wonder just how badly his thumbed eye hampered...
Cosell witnessed Larry's match against Arrington on the Norton-Young undercard, Holmes-Robinson on the Foreman-Young undercard, and other recent...
Coopman and Dunn were fine stoppage wins. Granted, Coopman did not belong in the ring with him, but Ali was a true world champion, the Lion of...
I think he was overly cautious at times, but he certainly didn't hold back on that shot which doubled Ali over. The fact is that Muhammad could...
This might look a lot like Mercado-Shavers. Earnie could certainly drop Ruddock early, but he was not a great composite punch finisher, and...
