I think Page had the skills, athleticism, and durability. I’m specifically using his 1981 output as a gauge. Seems like in 1982 he changed his...
Williams was very talented, but I think his chin would always have the potential of letting him down. He was a pretty disciplined guy in the...
I’ll throw Greg Page’s name in for consideration.
Oh, definitely.
As shot as Ali was, and as light as he took Spinks, a third Patterson fight could have been interesting. You know Floyd would have been in amazing...
Of course Ali, like Leon, won the light heavyweight gold.
I was thinking the little bottle in Spinks - Ali I.
Another interpretation: 1. Lennox Lewis 2. Shannon Briggs 3. George Foreman 4. Michael Moorer 5. Evander Holyfield 6. Buster Douglas 7. Mike...
1. Rocky Marciano - 0 losses 2. Gene Tunney - 1 loss, avenged 3 times 3. Riddick Bowe - 1 loss, avenged twice 4. Michael Spinks - 1 loss 5. James...
This is one of the things that makes boxing so fascinating. Not only the physical skills, but the way fighters live their lives and overcome...
Oh so many… Riddick Bowe Roberto Duran Ricky Hatton Greg Page Tyson Fury Busters Mathis and Douglas I wonder what kind of late- and post-boxing...
I watched this when it was originally broadcast. Quite a performance from Tim, quite a shot.
Make Tyson wear handcuffs, literally, and put a Hannibal Lecter mask on him. Spinks might have made it to seven. (Sorry, just having a little...
He’d certainly be a unique former lineal champion. Jeffries, Louis, Marciano, Ali, and Lewis gave up their titles and retired after several title...
Merry Christmas to you, Tim!
Yeah, I tend to think of a journeyman as as a Ross Purtity - Wimpy Halstead - Cookie Wallace type. Seems like many of the guys named were a level...
:thumbsup:
I’m a little curious here. Not butthurt, just curious. I feel like I maybe uncovered part of an early fight involving a seventies heavyweight many...
What’s this “Shavers-McMutry” (or as Klompton typed, “McMurtry”) y’all keep going around about? EARNIE Shavers never fought anyone with that name....
At the beginning of the Floyd Patterson - Oscar Bonavena video on YouTube, as Don Dunphy introduces the telecast, we see the final 35 seconds of a...
When I was a kid I’d watch whatever was on. Many weekends it was two to four quality fights on the network anthology shows. Maybe a prime time...
Just curious… about how many fights do you watch every week? I’m talking live on TV. Since boxing is mainly a weekend sport these days, we only...
The Foreman fight turned him into a treasure.
I’ve been watching heavyweight fights from 1970 and one thing that struck me is, after the Peralta fight, how good George Foreman looked against...
Saw another episode where someone brought in what were supposedly Marciano’s heavy bags, including his 200 lb. bag. The coloring was right, per a...
