That argument is rather deceiving, as 2 of his 5 losses during that time were to the rising ATG Harold Johnson (who was already good enough to...
Peaks never KO'd Bivins, and in fact had lost to Bivins prior to fighting Ray. "Reasonably capable" is rather broad and vague description. What...
I actually would've compared him to Roy Jones. Both largely dispensed with the jab and looked to control and pot-shot their opponents with quick...
Cochrane spent most of his career as a clubfighter/journeyman level fighter, then somehow got a shot at WW champ Fritzie Zivic (who was considered...
I think these posts are right on the money. He was a dangerous fighter with tremendous power, but also limited. He had enough to beat faded...
Bugner staggered him almost every time he hit him. You can't blame that on a "sloppy head."

To be fair though, I'm not sure Lopez was yet at his own peak. He was still comparatively inexperienced at the world class level, which enabled...
That's not really fair, Holmes had already become a "player" again following his big upset win over top-rated Ray Mercer.
While I do believe Scott was "exposed" to an extent by Martin, I think calling him an outright "hype job" is a bit too extreme, considering he had...
Agreed. The '70s had three standout ATGs, but the remaining contenders were typical of any other era in HW history.
Amazing that he did those things, and yet was bombed out so badly against Livingstone Bramble - which is the only time I ever saw, or heard of...
