Re Liston. There is some conjecture as to exactly how long his reach was. This photo of Liston standing alongside Bugner allows for some...
Usyk has slowed down - that’s a trend which is irreversible and a trend that could see an accelerated rate of deterioration at any given time,...

Very likely a doctored photo but cool nonetheless. Some other nice vids and pics there also - including a particularly terrific photo of Jeff...
Cheers for the link. Yeah, I remember the fight description including Cobb making repeated requests for the fight not to be stopped - which at...
