Ezzard Charles, Ray Robinson and Archie Moore faced 40 or more ranked contenders.
He sure would. :lol: Imagine a fighter like David Tua, but then feather fisted and with a lower workrate. He'd surely **** Lewis up.
Hopkins would easily beat Toney today, 40lbs weight difference or not. But that's purely because Toney is **** at this moment. Feet stuck in the...
How does Fitszimmons have a proven chin at heavyweight? Feather fisted Corbett had him down for 15 seconds but the count didn't start. Jeffries...
