He was the fastest man in boxing during his heyday. (I'm going to bed now, but let's see where that starter comment leads.)
Sammy was just the sort of guy to put Willie on the front foot, something outside of Pep's comfort zone. Angott's next opponent though was...
Touche, Burt! A story I discussed here myself before you came on board. "That's how you throw a left hook Tony. Now, go get yourself a manager!" I...
Oh Jesus!:rofl Let's give them both 50 ounce inflated gloves. By the time it's over, Tony would have Bob looking like Beetle Bailey after getting...
Firpo kept his fist planted on Dempsey's face then extended his elbow to shove him out of the ring. (This is the only time in the entire footage...
Well, as I said, I believe this one could well go the distance. I never said Levinski, Heeney, Risko and Farr were more impressive victories than...

Jack said in his autobiography that his hip from the fall against Firpo hurt him for the rest of his life. To me, he was much more flatfooted in...
Dempsey had a lethal right hand to go along with his hook, and Ali didn't mind giving away body shots. Tunney did catch Jack when the Mauler was...
Bob has nothing to hurt Galento with. Tony was only dropped by Louis, and got up to return the favor. Max Baer nearly decked him with a counter...
No, this one obviously goes the limit. Not sold. Qawi's body was well guarded against and poorly positioned for hooking at, and he rode out rights...

Considering Wepner's improved conditioning in Cleveland, and much better ability to avoid cuts (incredibly, only Duane Bobick stopped Chuck on...
Strictly speaking, Goldstein's collapse from SRR-Maxim wasn't an injury. One that was though, in a less high profile bout, occurred when Randy...
Reasonable. Shavers had underrated hand speed, but not the kind of speed Cleveland had. More likely, Earnie wakes up Liston with one or two bombs....
