Yes, the WBA finally accepted that a boycott of South Africa could help rid the country of apartheid. As easy as it was to rid the ratings of...
Excellent work.
As mentioned; how long is a piece of string? We have seen all sorts. From fighters who were burned out in the early 20s, to those who finally...
To be fair to the McGuigan team, Cruz was a late sub. But also Barry suggests he did not want to fight, and his row with Eastwood was causing huge...
That is the mistake people often make; it is called the ten count, not the ten seconds count. The ref should be the soul timekeeper for the count...
That punch was perfect... Gene Fulmer talked about it back in the 80s, and mused all he remembers is seeing Robinson jumping up and down on the...
LOL; if a lack of geographical knowledge is considered an American stereotype, we (the Brits) really did have habit, particularly back then for...
Doctors do not even know for sure, but I would speculate that yes, with the training for the fight, it did contribute a significant amount of...
True. For many years they had Benn/Miller at Wembley, with Duke McKenzie. But as a kid my Dad for a surprise, took me to the McKenzie fight (he...
Nice memory, I can tell you are American though, as your geography is terrible! ;) I suspect the bill you saw was in Hull, which is in...
Fair comment, I brought him up as a mention, Whitaker walks it as an answer. But I am glad I mentioned Galloway, and as you suggest, his best...
Manning Galloway bamboozled many in the late 80s and early 90s. He just did not get the big fights.
The best? Probably not, but he was exceptional. I also think names like Pedroza, Galloway and Duran deserve to be in the debate and when Brian...
He was like a baby in a play pen! ;)
Although overall BHop is a far better fighter, I could see style wise prime Obelmejias shocking Hopkins in a neutral venue.
I liked Haugen too, but he was only a little bit above a tough Tijuana taxi driver! ;)
And in the UK Jack Bodell! Bodell had just come off his biggest win, beating Joe Bugner for the British and Euro crowns, and was duly matched...
Exactly, nobody not named Ali, had beat Quarry in the 70s going in to the bout.
Bruno fairly easy, maybe early, but quite possibly later. The stamina issue came about when Bruno was under pressure in a close fight, rather...
Fun wise; the engima Kirkland Laing had a way of being KO'd that was... unique. Twice against Colin Jones he was winning the fight with relative...
I suspect I am a lot older than most here, so apologies for film quality and or lack of colour... Brutality wise Hearns/Duran still chills me...
It is 2021 not 1991, that battle was long since lost. It is like asking for 20 rounders in the 80s... Let us concentrate on making sure 12...
As a former neighbour of Minter at arguably his drunken worse, I get the hate; and that is not including the worse of him: The racism, which was...
Highly respected on these Islands (the UK). We could only beat him* with prime McAuley, he was a class above anything else we had to challenge...
And Hatton did as well as most, exceeding how I thought he was going to perform in that fight. At the very least, unlike some who were happy...
