Spot on. I have alwasy considered the 2nd fight as fixed. However, I don't think the mob was the only thing Liston possibly feared. Where about...
Well, Tyson was in a mission to avenge his idol, Ali. Legend says that after Holmes beat the heck out of Ali, he got a call from Cus D'Amato...
Very good reading, thanks. Chuck was barely a fringe contender at best, but he was always game when he crossed paths with an ATG. Glad too see...
That is a very good call. Sadly, D'Amato died just when Tyson was starting his peak years, so it was not exactly a career-long relationship. But...
Hearns and Jackson matched at the top. Benn right behind
I go with the mainstream in this one. Conney early advantage, Weaver late advantage
Maybe Lewis Everybody else are underdogs.

If Ali said so, that is good enough for me
Joe's dream becomes a nightmare and his hopes go up in smoke as soon as he meets Liston... Next morning Joe wakes up and says: "What horrible...
Now that you mention Foreman… On second thought Jamaica George Could be the possible exception; although his "invulnerability" to Joe's left hook...
Why, thanks! Actually watching FOTC it not is rocket science to figure out that if Ali was smoked up and down by Joe's left hooks then so is...
Anybody who fought Frazier...
Tough call, but I put my money on Armstrong Fairweather lacks the punching power to stop Armstrong who is a tough nut to crack. Also I highly...
I don't think they have Dial soap in prision... tough luck for Mike [MEDIA]
My guess is Tyson will be the one picking up the soap...
My first take would be Frazier is the harder hitter But after watching Weaver taking down Tate with just one left hook I am not so sure [MEDIA]
You know, IIRC Moorer pulled that same routine versus Foreman. He would go "pop, pop, pop!" while outboxing Big George and comfortably coasting...
I just rewatched that and I gotta agree that Lyle rocked Foreman's boat in that round and later. However I must say that: 1) Lyle didn't close...
I would go for Robinson. If the lesser Sugar Ray was able to frustate and outsmart Hagler I don't see why the greater Sugar Ray shouldn't be able...
I can't wait for that to happen. So sick of Canelo's cherrypicking ... he makes Fairweather look like a reckless daredevil. I will go insane if...
Norton versus Holmes. Kenny gave a hell of a fight to Holmes, who reciprocated and Kenny went out on his shield.
I consider Norton versus Holmes as worthy of mention. Kenny went in full war mode against Holmes and gave us a classic, with people still...
I can't disagree with that. By 1980 it was Hagler's time to shine.
Fair enough, but IMO had this hypothetical fight happened in 1978, Monzon had schooled in commanding fashion a young Hagler who was still a work...
