Yep. Also a HUGE Holmes fan—it’s mainly just a style thing. Agree. Spinks clearly won the first fight; Holmes the second. 144-141 each way (9-6...
Hey Buddy, perhaps the first 4 rounds weren’t quite as clear cut as I recalled, been a few years since I watched it. The 1st was definitely...
It’s not reaching for stats, you said. Then why the did you mention them? You mentioned them for a reason and that reason is fairly obvious. I’ve...
Reaching for stats as safety net. Just remember this. Punch stats are done live and in the moment by a human who tabulates when a punch is thrown...

Foreman. No question. He comfortably edges past Frazier with his second coming, particularly with the obvious highlight—regaining the title...
Yep. But more so on his sheer fighting ability in exchanges, durability, and resilience.
Agree. 95 to 98. Or 99 to 01. In and around then. But definitely not pre-Steward, 92 to 94. Not even a maybe.
I can’t praise Hearns enough by saying he was like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson rolled into one, a hybrid if you like.
And some dumb asses think the peak Lewis was the young version from around 92 to 94, pre-Steward. Not even a maybe.
