No discredit to Clay (at the time) but, like most fighters, they are moved to the top slowly and methodically. Doug Jones fought a surprising...
But George said it thru out his career...in spades! Anyone notice in round 3 Chuvalo backs up and tries to hide his head with his shoulder! IMO he...
Post Liston Patterson: European LH champ?...Santi Amanti (can you blame him for his first comeback fight?) Eddie Machen? Kicked his arse, over...

Hey Red! I concur with Olivares at each fighter's peak. Herrera showed what could be done with Olivares if he tried to "phone in one" or fought...

Eras aside (a usual caveat with me :)) Don Dumphy mentioned, at some point, the inordinate amount of 'no-decisions' in Benny's career. That being...
Now this is a damn good thread Jel! :)
Hi Jel! I'll give you a nod on Cruiserweight but why limit it to three choices based on your comment? I'd throw out ALL the rest! Multiple boxing...
