Question 16/20 Did your boxer ever fight for a world title outside the United States?
I think we’re still using different definitions of “better.” A résumé measures what a fighter accomplished. Head-to-head ability is about who...
I get your argument, but you’re blending two different things into one. A better résumé doesn’t automatically mean a better fighter. That’s true...
I get what you’re saying, and I’m not trying to overhype Vitali. On the Lewis point, yes, Vitali was a bloody mess by the end. Lewis definitely...
Thanks Mike, appreciate the kind words. I know exactly what you mean about the Dempsey–Willard fight. There’s something almost uncomfortable about...

You’re right to bring up Whitehurst and Machen because they do show that Liston wasn’t some unstoppable wrecking machine against mobile, cagey...
That’s a really good point and one that gets overlooked in these types of threads. Over a long title reign it’s not just about ability, it’s about...
Honestly I think this is one of those matchups where it’s easy to get carried away either way, but if we break it down, Liston has a real shot at...
I reckon Holmes would more than hold his own if you dropped him into the modern heavyweight scene. He wasn’t some small guy by any stretch, even...
I think this is a really interesting one because both Wilder and Liston have such different strengths and weaknesses, and the result could depend...
