I hope he wins and wins well. I for one would like to see Usyk vs Parker if Olek decides to continue. Due to less frequency of fighting among...
Given the way Usyk fights (has to fight?) he couldn’t afford too much degradation. Sometimes the difference between making it appear relatively...
I’d guess that Ray’s power might’ve degraded markedly during the bout also given that he literally succumbed to heat exhaustion. Obviously Ray...

It’s not always proof positive but Johnson had outstanding back/shoulder muscles that can lend to some very decent punching power: - [MEDIA]
Excellent points Cobe. Possible that Sonny did cut weight without him having been unduly heavier in the first place. Liston was known for his...
Thanks. Excellent info.
