Tokyo Douglas was too dialed in to lose to Corrie. Corrie blows his wad early and gets broken down by that monster jab, easy pickings for a...
Paul could fight. I think his biggest battle, iirc, was with drugs. And alcohol … I hope he won, but I know he lost several rounds to that demon....
If you don’t appreciate guys like Buck Smith and Harold Brazier, you probably don’t like boxing. Buck and Harold, btw, fought a 15-rounder in...

Hagler expected Duran to try to infight witih him and Roberto cleverly boxed, using his timing and accuracy to flummox Marvin at times. Seemed to...
Halme lived a very problematic (and interesting) life — among other things, he was a bona fide Nazi. He boxed, wrestled (in WWE — or was it WWF...
