Lopez doesn't get to do any of his fancy backflips or meme dances against Arguello, who stops him in the mid rounds. A broken down Loma didn't...
Was going to say, as a fan of both sports, Sylvia represented the UFC's inferior HW division against the real best of the era who were mostly in...
The demolition job for the ages, on a grand world stage.
A great watch. One common aspect of reading old fight reports and descriptions of the best of ages past is that you learn to filter some of the...
That combination that finished Braddock might be my favorite KO combo of all time. Left hand knocks the guard out of place, and Louis drops the...
I try pretty hard to never hold anyone's past prime performances against them. To me, it's a bonus if they can give us something extra after...
This performance was a thing of beauty. It reminds me a bit of Ali vs Cleveland Williams, a fight against a depleted opponent that's so sublime...
Ruiz under those circumstances was a tailor made opponent for Jones if there ever was one. Without the Quiet Man being able to fall back on...
Possible, but not probable. Tyson would know exactly what he was facing with McCall, who didn't have the boxing ability that Douglas displayed...
Foster startches him, no doubt about it. Bob Foster has a good deal of height and reach on him, and is absoultely not the LHW anyone would want...
Larry Holmes takes it if he has a nearby limo to run off of for a flying dropkick.
Excellent post with some great, well explained points and a reasoned, balanced mindset. There's times I read a topic on here and I feel like I...
No way this wouldn't have done huge numbers and gotten massive mainstream attention.
I came in here hoping it'd be actual footage of Firpo vs. some flyweight instead of a theoretical discussion on if Jimmy Wilde could outlast him...
I concur with the responses here, there's really no comparison between a broadcaster and sanctioning bodies. A better comparison would be to ask...
I expected this to be a weird topic about Ibeabuchi up against some mythical converted boxing version of Lionel Messi. I have Ike winning the...
It wasn't that long ago that someone posted an article that detailed how much Byrd's suffered from injures and damage from his career. I can't...
I'm biased in favor of Gans, who's one of my outright favorites, but McFarland was an exceptional fighter in his own right, and I think a good...
Reminds me of this quote from Liston concerning Terrell: Asked about giving Ernie a crack at the title, Sonny said, “Nuts! He don’t fight. He just...
Williams takes this one for sure.
George and Lance pretty much called it, Tyson and Holyfield were past it, Toney's trajectory just didn't cross theirs and Roy didn't want any part...
This has to be the first one that comes to mind here.
I entirely agree with this. Povetkin has been solid, but he simply does not place in the top four under any estimation. He was never seen as...
Just shoulder roll that stuff like James Toney. Seemed more like a comment in jest, anyway.
You can be a natural fighter and waste your gifts, just as someone who might not really have as much of an aptitude can achieve a lot by doing...
