Any time I hear Zanon mentioned, I think of the Quarry fight. Jerry had been out of action for a couple years and was horribly rusty. Zanon was...
All good picks, but I'll go with Dempsey. He got his start challenging anyone in the bar and passing the hat afterwards. He was an experienced...
Gunboat Smith was still alive when Peter Heller interviewed him in the early 70s for his book "In This Corner". Heller wrote this book so as to...
Analyzing the FOTC shortly after it happened, Joe Louis said that Jersey Joe Walcott would have beaten both Ali and Frazier. Louis had a...
Cooney has a puncher's chance, but I see this as an early night for Sonny. Liston took some bombs from Cleveland Williams before finishing him...

I know about Flynn's fights with Dempsey but didn't know about the other victories listed above. Very interesting! I remember reading in...
Not sure if he was a lightweight, but Georges Carpentier competed in a lot of weight classes.
Jimmy Braddock was a big man, a decent boxer, and very game. On a good night he was capable of giving anybody a run for their money. He was...

Interesting match! For me, Sullivan is too much of an unknown factor to pick him here. He certainly had the reputation of being a beast during...
In reading Corbett's autobiography "The Roar of the Crowd" Gentleman Jim was pretty sparse in his praise of the skills of those who came after...
