You stole my thunder! So, Jimmy Thunder
No, he was not a great fighter. He was America's Brian Nielsen, a resume soft as Charmin, with a smattering of "name" fighters who were all over...
Why would he need to last 4 rounds longer than it took to KO the wee feller?
The Foreman win was a tactic that he could not replicate against any other heavyweight because the rest of the heavies could actually move their...
Give me a break. Williams was beyond shot. He hadn't beaten anyone of note for half a decade, his bubble having been burst 7 years before.. He...
Funny... Back when he was actually around and boxing people were actually watching him firsthand we saw a tight, chinny frontrunner who had no...
Nobody in the 1990's took Morrison as seriously (in a boxing, not moneymaking, sense) as some here do in the 2020's.
Unconvincing. I was following the fights in the 90's, going to training camps, going to fights. Basically, I didn't have obligations and did as I...
Sharkey wasn't exactly ripped to the bone. I would contend that Byrd had a more formidable offensive arsenal, head to head, by quite a ways, much...
Moorer and Morrison were the same era, apples to apples. No need to argue difference in eras. We can't use this argument for Bentt because he was...
Skill is a multifaceted variable.
Mike Moorer was ranked in Ring's Annual Top Ten Annual Rankings 8 times, 7 times at number 3 or 4. Tommy broke the Top Ten twice, both times at...
Would you prefer me to make up things about Baer's abilities so that I toe the line on absurd narratives that have nothing to do with actual...
For southpaws, Tommy fought a Russian nobody cruiser who gave him fits and a not-quite-Adonis brawler with a bum knee (and I love me some Joe...
Good Lord. You could hardly think up a worse match for Tommy, who couldn't deal with southpaws, couldn't take precise powershots, didn't know how...

Byrd stops him. Sharkey has nothing to keep Chris off him. He utterly lacks the twitch and reflexes and skill. Chris lands at will until a ref...
I'm tired of denying what my eyes, eyes that have watched 4 decades of boxing, participated in a handful of years, tell me. This is what I see....
Bentt wins nearly every round in a shutout. He was a highly successful amateur boxer, knew how to actually box and had the physicality to back it up.
Byrd stops him in 8. Leagues more talented and skilled. A one sided embarrassment.
George told me Lou Savarese was the hardest puncher he ever faced.
You've got a tiny slow-twitch plodder who, at his best, won over similarly small but much older opposition, mostly by attrition. On the other...
Bwahahahaha!
I thought about Frank Klaus... but again, styles make fights.
Eddie McGooty. Styles make fights. No one else.
