Yes. The era had depth and it was the hardest era to get a title shot because of the IBC and Walcott and Charles getting rematches. But that...
Theres LHWs and guys smaller than Marciano who are in the "hardest hitters ever" conversation because theres more evidence to support their...
The thing with counting CW or LHW feats at HW in other eras the fighters those guys beat at those weight classes went on to do stuff at HW....

Being "legit" at 40 really isn't unusual. Its 45 and beyond thats unusual. From the dawn of time HWs had multiple "legit" 40 year olds in Fitz and...
I agree Fraziers can contest the whole fight and Tysons cardio problems are a stricter limitation. If Tyson isn't winning at the start he can't...
