His footwork was wrong in all the right ways. He took left/right steps in the ring to close distance. Nobody does that.
You are factually wrong about bout the weight. You don't want to admit you were wrong about height or reach. Hey, if you want to continue to...
Valuev at his best beat 2 Gunz by a late TKO The other knocked out Machen and Patterson in 4 rounds total.
Oh hello... Marciano against a fighter that can't remotely hurt him ........ Byrd might die in the ring. RIP.
Here's one more parting gift for you... I know my post triggered you. I knew you would see it and would just have to respond even if you didn't...
In addition to almost always being at a reach and a height disadvantage, Marciano was outweighed in some 30 of his 49 career fights. His weight...
There were physical factors. Liston had over 20 lbs on him and Patterson wasn't exactly a strong or durable guy to begin with, despite his big...
Posts do not exist in a vacuum. Ali/Liston was a reply to Rocky Jim. I know you see quote boxes...so it's weird to feign ignorance and pretend my...
Nope, Scarecrow. You aren't getting off the hook here. "One of the bigger men Liston faced" does not equate to "biggest" or "bigger than...
Despite his Knock Out record, Vitali never sat on his punches, kept that weird kick boxing stance and arm punched guys to death. With all his...
This is such a bizarre post. Baer and Liston are roughly the same size, Baer may be slightly taller or Liston may have a slight reach advantage...
In fact Liston lost twice to one of the bigger guys he faced....
How intentional was it, though? The Rock did in fact turn in one of his poorest performances against Don as he was coming off nasal...
Baer 6'2.5" 190-226 lbs 81" Liston 6'1" 198-223 lbs 80-84" So these are both men's career listed numbers. I'd say they are pretty equal in...
Peter/Wlad 2 was a one sided domination that ended with Peter KOed in the first time of his career by an uppercut as I recall. Peter gave Wlad...
Especially once Wlad unified and got very busy. It became a race for the contenders to cash out against him.
They were both great. Of course Vitali doesn't have a very good resume....he began his career as a kick boxer, didn't turn pro until 25, retired...
Holyfield targeted Lewis' chest and heart with jabs in their rematch and it was actually very effective.
...both men have only been stopped 3 times in long grueling careers of 50+ fights. I think something would have to give here.
He had lots of charisma and a great voice... But he was in large part a melodramatic carnie. It's cute when certain posters appeal to him as an...
Baer was a phenomenal athlete. He was naturally strong, quick, and agile with great endurance. He only lacked hand speed because he loaded up...
I appreciate the correction. I was looking back too far. Valdes was named logical contender after Charles/Marciano 2. I suppose point still...
I think it's just bizarre how the Rock gets criticized for facing "small heavies" and "blown up light heavies" when he was actually almost always...
People forget that Cockell was a comeback opponent to test the Rock's facial injuries. In addition to a deep gash on his eye, Marciano had...
Rahman's failing against Oleg is all you need to know. Twice over, Rahman couldn't figure out a limited glass jawed slower boxer with a lethal...
