I've seen that same interview (it was 36lbs he said he lost for Kessler, btw) with Darren Barker. In his autobiography, the 5ft 11.5ins Calzaghe...
Pedlar Palmer to Terry McGovern. The first ever 1st round KO in a world title fight iirc and Palmer has a terrific BW.
I only include boxers who have been retired a few years in my all time lists. 1. Louis 2. Ali 3. Holmes 4. Lewis 5. Marciano 6. Johnson 7. Wlad...
In his autobiography, Calzaghe said his walk-around weight was 192-196lbs. Coincidentally, I saw a brief clip from an interview he did with...
It's easy to either over or underrate the win. It can overrated by focusing too heavily on the ATG name. It can be underrated by concentrating on...

I think we are now on the same page, in that relative activity can more than offset natrual physical decline into a figters 40's. To continue the...
For whatever it is worth, I think it's more likely that GGG goes the distance and is competitive in a losing effort with RJJ, than it is that GMan...
Forgive me if this is specific to the point of being pedantic (though you did state "correct me if such an athlete exists"), but I believe Foreman...
Not only may he have been able to compete at HW, Conteh had several fights at HW, albeit never against a ranked HW. He typically weighed in the...
Hrgovic's chin seems solid. Either Bruno by stoppage, possibly cuts, during the first half of the fight, or Hrgovic with a late stoppage of a...
It depends what you mean by "technically" better. It could be argued that Napoles was more skilled than SRR, even though the latter's physical...
