I like his performance against Terrell. Ernie was the best test of all the foes Ali faced before the exile. Terrell was tall, awkward, clever, and...
Yes, this is a favorite of mine too. We are lucky to have such a document of Archie near his prime.
He used the excuse of arthritis to postpone the 1936 match with Schmeling. The NBA and the NY Commission weren't in a hurry to challenge the claim...
Canzie. Too shifty, too slick, hits harder. Ritchie had basic skills, but Tony was an innovator as far as movement went. He wouldn't just square...
A majority if not all, of the news reports about the Dempsey-Greb sparring session I have read on this forum reported that Greb outfought Dempsey....

Yes, I was thinking about Jack Johnson, but his situation was brought on by the tension of the racist environment of that particular match so I...
That type of behavior simply wasn't in Patterson's DNA. That sh-t didn't really start until Ali came along. Until then fighters pretty much acted...

Anything could happen!
