So, what it looks like you're saying is that you're unfamiliar with posterior probabilities.
We're talking about pounds.
Why inevitable?
Cooney is a much better boxer with a better jab than Wilder and probably hits about as hard. I doubt that Wilder's faster hands (than Cooney) will...
Well, if Povetkin dropped twenty pounds from the weight you listed (which seems plausible to me) he'd weigh just over 200. A way from 190, but I...
How good was Big Bill Tate's jab? It would be interesting to know how prominently that figured in their sparring sessions.

You couldn't get any of those guys down to 190 without sacrificing some muscle, but except for Wilder pretty much every one of them could shed...
I just re-watched (most of) the fight yesterday and I think Whitaker won but not by nearly a wide enough margin to be commensurate to the outrage....
This literally made me laugh out loud. Mods, why did you boot this guy? Yeah he's a smartass, but he more than covers the cost of his smartassery...
Benn vs, Barkely, because Hagler-hearns is forever tainted for me by the fact (if it is indeed a fact) that Hearns broke his and in the second...
Last of the small heavyweights? Do you not realize that using absolutely identical logic you could have argued in 1955 -with absolutely equal...
If they fought as early as '96, my money would still be on Tyson. Tua would destroy Tyson in 2000, and get destroyed by him in 1988. (I mean prime...
I have very little doubt Conn would beat him, as well as Hearns at light heavy. Hearns at welterweight might be just at too big a weight...
I see a lot of posed photos of fighters pre-1930 where the guys are wearing gloves so small they look like bag gloves. (Maybe they are? Anyone...
