Just curious if anyone knew much in terms of why Holmes picked to fight Spinks. I get the whole HW-LHW champ matchup, but I always understood it...
I know what you mean about the American hope. I've often thought that boxing is one superstar American heavyweight away from recapturing some of...
Maybe the short answer is "yes," as long as there is a group that is dissatisfied with the ethnic/racial group that might be champion, so, maybe...
Thanks for the information. What were the odds for this fight? Knowing what you've all stated, it's not hard to conclude that Fenech would win,...
