While we have tons of film on Louis, I think we would know much more about him if he had fought Ezzard Charles when Joe was in his prime instead...
Quarry looked fat and slow at 207. How is he going to carry 215? Jerry's best weight was around 195.
Easy fight to predict. Williams loses, probably by knockout. He was a non-factor his entire career. Why are we even talking about him all these...
Call it character, discipline, desire, will to win or a dozen similar traits. Rocky had it in spades and Golota in his heart didn't belong in the...
I think Alzado gave Ali a little more than he expected or wanted.
I assume you mean champions?
I can think of pre-1970 heavies who had the style to give Usyk trouble. Here are just a few: Ernie Terrell is a bad match for him (awkward,...
Was Williams the greatest puncher of his time? As I recall it he wasn't held in such high regard. He was considered a big heavyweight with a big...
Patterson would have attacked Williams up the middle with both hands, early in the fight. Cleveland couldn't withstand speedy combinations of...
How can anyone say Liston? Aren't you giving him a pass for quitting on his stool and on the ring canvas? I don't think Liston deserves plaudits...

I'd prefer not to define "old school" in the interest of inclusion. It could be 1940s to '60s or 1970s to '90s. Or it could be Melankomas.
Think about it. Other than Ali, who among the champions took a better punch?
Jake, you're wrong about another thing. George Foreman had more foot speed than Louis. But he wouldn't need it, Joe never ran from anyone. That's...
He's pretty interesting. I'd call him a writer, not a historian. Knowing a good amount of history doesn't make him a historian.
