They have about the same thickness in their legs. Pernell had great, big trunks for thighs that carried a lot of weight, no doubt. But Napoles had...
On the point of nitpicking, I personally don't believe Napoles and Whitaker are immediately comparable in size. And it's evident, at least, to me,...
No one has mentioned that up to the KO ending, Sharkey was the one doing the fouling. The Gob couldn't take his medicine. Dempsey won the scrap by...
I concede that, historically, foot movement did give him the most trouble. Quick feet generally reduces the action to sporadic clashes, thereby...
Sadly, he's being steered well clear from those, at least for the immediate future. Rigondeaux represents the greatest threat to him at the...

I also don't distinguish between Floyd's super featherweight and lightweight campaigns in this case. He took on bigger foes, which is certainly...
I think Chavez would eventually overcome the stylistic hurdle presented by Mayweather; while the reverse is less likely to happen. To me, it seems...
Well, the point is if he is on equal footing to men larger than he, then that only serves to put him over the top in his own weight class.
He enjoyed quite a bit of success against larger foes, yes. He was, however, rather thin in the arms and legs, which was the point I was trying to...
I believe he is at a size disadvantage against most conventionally acknowledged welterweights, but that is not to say his talent won't shine...
I had Rahman very far ahead of him in their little tussle. Even if you hand Ruiz every close round he'd still get the short end 5-7, in my...
I understand that. Ali was unconventionally gifted, but perhaps not on the level of the six I named above. I credit his incredible wit, but he's...
1. Tunney 2. Johnson 3. Schmeling 4. W. Klitschko 5. Lewis 6. Corbett
I agree. There have been plenty of boxers more intelligent. Ali was charismatic. Some are quick to point to that as proof of intellectual ability;...
