And the way Norfolk dominated Miske twice makes Miske a less than credible opponent? The way Greb dominated Gobbons makes Gibbons a less than...
Incorrect. The contract was a sham designed to further Dempseys avoidance of Wills and kick the can down the road. It was meant to dupe suckers...
There is no way Godfrey got $1500 a week to spar Dempsey. That would be like getting $22000 a week in todays currency.
I dont base his chances on one loss. If we were disqualifying Dempsey opponents based on who and how they lost fights he wouldnt have anyone left...
Kid Norfolk woulda been a good one. Probably wouldnt win but it would have been interesting. Godfrey.
I love Giardello but he wasnt on the same level as the fab 4, at least not in 1962. Losing a closeone to Carter means absolutely nothing to me....
Benton never beat anyone as good as the Fab 4 and lost to several that werent as good. He was a very good fighter but this would be a bridge too far.
Patterson could have made LHW. He always said he had to work his ass off to get close to 190. He went up to chase the money. Had he stayed at LHW...
Jesus, what an absolute **** of human being do you have to be to take a tragic accident and equate that with a triple homicide? Carter tested...
Im not arguing the merits or lack there of of some of his competition. Im saying he would have kicked Carters ass. In fact several guys he beat...
I came here just to post this one. You beat me too it.
I dont think id put Jones up as a guy who was challenging himself. Hes the most protected fighter of his era. You wanna make a list of all the...
No, thats what happened but it was a little more muddled than that. After boxing Leonards ears off Britton was dropped and appeared to be claiming...
I guess it could be because of the odd ending but reports are muddled about exactly what was going on there. Nobody who witnessed it seemed to...
Not sure where the story got started that Leonard was on the verge of beating Britton. Probably Fleischer or Dan Daniel. Most reports say that...
