McCall is the obvious one. Titanium jaw.
early 80s - SRL? though his hands were probably faster.
well - it's easy imagine him foregoing drinks etc shortly before the weigh-in. as per my post, i agree that the difference between his weigh-in &...
there's no way that Lewis would go to the lengths that Tyson has done to get into shape, not least because he doesn't need to, still being...
I'm a Warrington fan but would hate to see him win a really badly bent decision in this one.
this'll be quickly forgotten, but really those cards were, taken as a whole, as shameful as anything you'll see.
Agree with the comments. BJS is up against, in no particular order: (a) a bigger punching, physically stronger opponent: (b) who's recently been...
it's far from great for a guy who'll by then be almost 33 years old. though I expect him to be just about good enough to get away with it.
You'd think the IOC would have better things to do than stopping people watching 13 yr old fight footage.
A time machine. It's not going to happen otherwise.
I suppose I've always thought that he did, but kind of don't want to know the [presumably unpleasant] details. He was ill for a long time, and...
I don't at all buy Usyk's inclusion after his move up to heavy. Much as there are things I dislike about his career, I'll concede that Canelo...
although they're a similar age, Joyce slightly the older of the two, [peak] Usyk's reliance on speed, combined with his late career weight gain,...
Any really depressingly bad mismatch. Some of the worst ones you see are at bad amateur [especially 'white collar'] level. It's a bit niche but c...
Almost any really bad judges' call, especially ones that resulted in a draw such as Lewis-Holyfield I. But in terms of an all time worst, maybe...
The Joe Joyce - Daniel Dubois fight was pretty interesting in terms of styles and the ages of the fighters [35 and 23 respectively]. As per your...
Does it really matter where a blow lands? Any scoring punch that causes any body part [other than the soles of a fighter's feet] to touch the...
43 year old former welterweight boxer mixing it with one of the world's better p4p prime aged fighters (who by the way is bigger), just no.
For the record, here are the ages at which all current outdoor athletics world records were set. I suppose you might argue, with the strength...
It'd be very naive to confidently declare any top level athlete to be have totally clean in every last respect at every last point of their...
I'm not sure I totally buy that there's been a change, it just so happens that three of the GOATs have been playing together, with the generation...
I absolutely agree with all of that. To my mind contestants in almost every physical sport [and boxing is very physical] peak in their 20s. For...
*statement of the obvious klaxon* Hard to call. Fury has better head movement and probably punch resistance, Joshua the greater power. But Fury...
Fair play to him, honestly. Spinks was a very good champion but by no means a natural, or even particularly serious proposition at, heavyweight....
I suppose that the most sensible interpretation of "could have beaten" means 'would have had a pretty good chance, e.g. woulld be around a 5 to 1...
