Holmes was the only stable and consistent force the heavyweight division had between Ali in 1978 and Tyson in 1987. For eight consecutive calendar...
Tex was a better kick boxer than he was a pugilist. Eddie would take an uneventful decision here. Cobb forced a young Dokes and aging Norton to...
If you haven't read his autobiography, "The Roar of the Crowd," it might be worth your while to borrow a copy through an inter-library loan.
Something in the recesses of my distant recall ascribes a reach of 78 inches to Stevenson. I don't remember that his wingspan was anything other...

Ezz would bait him like he did Moore in their final match, and bushwhack him. RJJ didn't see that kind of feigning in his time, and would have...
Norton had never wiped out an opponent of Duane's caliber that quickly and easily, so this was reasonably expected to be another situation where...
Combined with the way he looked and fought, Kallie Knoetze's mustache reminded me of the horns on a Cape buffalo. (Harold Volbrecht also had an...
