I think the point, maybe, in naming Daniels and Miteff, is that they were the only guys rated in the top 10 at the time of their respective...
I'll echo finding a good gym and trainer and people to work with. When I was a teenager I thought I could train at home, in my small town, in my...
I think we're underrating Michael Moorer these days. That said, I think in 1991 Tyson catches him at some point.
I think the only time this could have happened was in 1970 or 1971. Maybe 1969 or 1972. While Williams apparently put in a respectable effort...
Oh, I totally agree. But most people don't. We wouldn't have this mess if they did.
The list could be a lot longer or a lot shorter, depending on how you look at it. Do we just go lineal, or do we count WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, NBA,...
I don't know about losing the most money, but it broke my heart to hear that Joe Frazier was living in his gym during his final years. If I'm...
Here's what CompuBox had to say about the punches landed: CompuBox @CompuBox ยท Mar 8, 2017 ON THIS DAY: Frazier (378) W 15 Ali (330) combined...
I think the only time it was discussed was the summer of 1977, for a day or two. But it generated enough news to make the November 1977 cover of...
In a previous post, I talked of not really rooting for individual boxers any more, and not having favorites. The other side of that coin is that...
wba, wbc, ibf, wbo. The latter two, never "legit," while the former two elected to abandon their credibility in the late 1970's, if not earlier....
In the ring before the fight, ring announcer Chuck Hull literally announces to the crowd and tv audience, "The Dynamic Duo, in association with...
The OP specified "undefeated" Gerry Cooney, which means the bout would have to take place before June 1982. At that point Douglas had eleven...
Time machine fantasy fights. There's way too many of them. Fighter X vs Fighter Y at their best. Even in the real world it's rare that ATG...
I rewatched Tyson-Bonecrusher Smith last night. The promotion called it a Superfight. Going in, it was highly anticipated. It was going to be a...
How a fighter rebounds from a loss goes along way toward assessing his greatness.
There are fighters I appreciate. Some, a great deal. But I haven't been a hardcore fan of anyone for decades, basically since I was a kid. I'm...
Basically, the only time this could have happened is the first half of 1996, if Bruno elects to not defend against Tyson and somehow takes on...
So did Bonavena.
I watched some Ruddock fights recently. In the pre-fight shows, prior to the Dokes and Tyson fights, they made a big deal about how much Ruddock...
I second Bobby Chacon and Matthew Saad Muhammad, and I'll add Tex Cobb.
Ring Magazine, under Fleischer and even a good decade after, had a great Hall of Fame going. Every year they'd induct people and write lengthy...
I was ten at that point. I remember seeing the Superman - Ali oversize comic pop up on the newsstand. It was shortly after Ali lost to Leon...
In the 1970's, wasn't there a Muhammad Ali playset? I recall it coming with a ring and action figures of Ali, Frazier, and a generic third...
