Buddy Baer was 53-5 before his 25th birthday and retired after the Louis fights. While his average SOS was light by the standards of his era he...
A-I'm not going to treat it that way because theres no evidence to support that. I told you I'd treat Usyks CW feats with relevance if those guys...
The worst 5 of this group were Paycheck, Musto, Roper, McCoy and Dorazio. McCoy was a LHW title claimant. After that we're down to guys like...
You have many weapons to work with. Paycheck, Musto and Roper are really the only weak links out of 25. Besides them and McCoy(a LHW title...

"Bum of the month" is not about Louis's opponents being bums its about him fighting once a month. People are focusing on the wrong word here. If...
Through the roof. If he can't get through Ali he probably could take out Frazier in Fraziers early 20s when Lyle was at his absolute physical...
One of my biggest problems with peoples characterization of Wilders resume is how they act like AJ didn't do the same thing and fought the best....
A-Usyk is almost exactly the same size as Larry Holmes. Usyk being better than Holmes "P4P" would require being smaller. "Holmes’ HW resume is...
"You don't think 87.76% K.O. rate is historically unusual for someone with a reach like Marciano? I keep a list of HW contender KO rates. There...
"In arguably the deepest CW division in history". This means nothing to me I only follow CW to the extent it effects HW(or LHW). Which besides...
