You said Liston didn’t fight anyone good. Ranked Henry Clark definitely qualified as good. Martin and Liston were ranked # 3 and # 5 by the WBA...
True, having an “O” doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t fight anyone but with a good number of fights under the belt without a defeat perhaps...
I understand that the burden of proof is clearly on me Swag :D and I’m now racking my brains :duhtrying to find a way out of my conundrum. It...
Henry Clark was no good? Sure. It’s NOT a fact. Where has it been proven that he did turn down all those offers? There’s evidence in fact...
It would be easier for me to find the thread (not that finding said thread would necessarily easy - lol) than to rehash the bonafides of several...
Excellent link. Without clicking on it (I’ve seen said mag before) I’m pretty sure such mags are viewable without sign up. I think that mag was...
That is not true that Liston fought guys with barely a pulse or that he rejected real offers. No disrespect to the man, but it appears that...
I agree. I think that Eddie would nick the points here. Though a hard puncher, Chuvalo isn’t any where near as lethal as Liston, so Eddie will...
All in all, I would go with Louis inside of 6 rounds. The Shavers of the Norton fight was referenced. I’ve gotta say, all be it brief, that was...
Due respect but it seems you’re ignoring the very version of Jimmy Young who is up for analysis - the one that was “good” (very good, imo) during...
Apologies if he’s already been mentioned but old mate Johnny Famechon deserves to be part of the discussion.
Excellent post. I gave it a deserved “like, albeit 17 years after the fact. Unfortunately I couldn’t index and/or include due interest. What’s a...
This type of info is GOLD. A belated thanks Swag. Bugner’s candour is impressive. Shavers committed quite a few flagrant fouls during their...
:lol::lol::lol: And Bugner wasn’t even a substantive sparring partner of Liston’s, that was just an opportunistic one off. Somehow the forum’s...
We know Merritt broke Earnies jaw in sparring - but that doesn’t necessarily translate to how an actual fight might’ve gone. Some say Earnie...
