During the early 1980s, even a Marciano tribute magazine asserted that the Ali of the "Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee" era would have...
I don't think we should draw that many conclusions from the match they actually did have, not just because Jimmy was past it, but also due to the...
That's how I see it. Earnie was typically more focused and dedicated to attacking the body than George normally did. Holyfield dropped Bert right...
Yes, and Ken doesn't always get the credit for his hand speed that he deserves. Jerry was as quick as any heavyweight of his era, triggerfisted,...

I generally rate Frazier as a top five heavyweight, so his post FOTC defeats obviously don't hurt him much in my eyes. Likewise, Rocky had made...
Well, with Foreman in the 1970s, there's little besides Peralta. Davila was a tall and experienced 36 fight heavyweight who only had to last eight...
Sonny atypically knocked out a champion with blistering speed, good power and a peek a boo style, twice within a single round. Tyson had a far...
