Lee Savold is the fight that some say Joe looked a little like his old self. He still had some of his former power at this time and would have...
Joe was at one point rated the fifth or sixth best heavy in the world and,considering the era,that was no mean feat. At this juncture only...
And this is why I see Frazier winning a classic bout. Rocky would have Joe down maybe a couple of times but 'Smoke' eventually burns the 'Rock'
As much as I enjoyed watching Hatton,I reckon Napoles would pick him apart before stopping him. Too much all round ability and pinpoint punching.
Horrible fight. Old George takes a prolonged beating.
Archie Moore. Longevity,power and smarts.
You'd have had an exlusive for sure had you talked to Harry Wills,Burt !
Leonard definitely. Pryor was a really good fighter but around that time,I don't think there was anyone who could have beaten Leonard at...
Lennox was definitely one of the best heavies ever. Good to be able to bestow that accolade upon a Brit :D
Burt - Did you ever go in Dempsey's restaurant ? A friend of mine gave it a visit back in the seventies and actually shook the great man's hand....
There's no way a 35 plus Holmes would have beaten a prime Tyson. No matter how he'd have prepared for it. To find a Holmes that you could have...

No natural 175 lb man could beat a prime Joe Frazier. Not even the best such as Moore and Jones.
At that time,though,Foreman would n't have been perceived as that much of a threat. A wise head would have realised that Joe would have lost to...
Both excellent boxers. Floyd was faster while Joe had a better chin. Because of the latter I have Walcott winning this one.
