Herol Graham was pretty unlucky.
Honeyghan v Vaca. Lloyd beat the crap out of him in the rematch.
Yes, I think I read the Gil Clancy interview you are talking about. Very long and informative if I remember. I enjoy the Clancy/Ryan commentaries...
I have The Ring and KO issues which preview the Foreman-Cooney fight. The boxing writers and commentators (Steve Farhood, Randy Gordon etc) seemed...
The 80s/90s American heavyweight Mike Williams is worth a mention. He looked like a character from a Rocky film - which is probably why he ended...
To this day I have never watched the Tyson v Bruno rematch. From what I read, Bruno was absolutely terrified and got completely destroyed. I...
It's interesting that a lot of pundits like Steve Farhood and Randy Gordon predicted that Cooney would beat Foreman. Gil Clancy, who was in...
I read a interview with Michael Olajide once where he said he could have made 147 or 154 but his father wanted him to be a middleweight because it...
Throwing Pele Reid in with the world class Orlin Norris after his loss to Julius Francis. Another (in hindsight) mistake was when Michael Grant...
Yeah, people always dismiss this fight and tend to think of the shot brain damaged Wilfred Benítez being beaten by Hamsho, Davey Moore and others....
Wilfred Benitez v Marvin Hagler - if it happened right after Benitez had shut out Duran. I believe Hagler would have won but it could have been an...
Jack Callahan fighting Matthew Hilton for the IBF title. The combined record of Callahan`s previous opponents was 56-171.
Honeyghan vs Breland.
I saw an interview with Holmes where he said that when he was approached to fight Tyson he'd just spent months on the road with his band drinking...
Frank Bruno vs Chuck Gardner
Kenny Vice v Jim McDonnell was quite a scary one. You can see why the British authorities banned McDonnell from fighting again afterwards.
Larry Holmes was robbed in the Spinks rematch and also (at the tail of his career) against Brian Nielsen.
Courage Tshabalala Michael Olajide Héctor Camacho Jr
Lloyd nearly fought Marlon Starling instead of Maurice Blocker in 1987. I gather Starling was ready to replace Blocker (for some reason or other)...
I've got an old back issue of The Ring from 1985 where Michael Marley has an article about how Larry can safely navigate his way to 50-0 without...
I'd pick the young 1995 version of Hamed to beat Frampton.
This stuff is all crosscut and jumbled together from various tittle tattle books and articles and doesn't really mean anything or have much basis...
Mills being a serial killer is just an urban myth that was allowed to spiral. I think it was Jimmy Tippet (who was a gangster or something) who...
The suggestion that Freddie Mills was Jack the Stripper apparently came from gangster Frankie Fraser, who supposedly said it to policeman Bob...
Sven Ottke v Robin Reid
