Cheers buddy. Good to hear. Thanks for the summation.
Some stylistic issues are more all encompassing than others. Multiple disadvantages in play and therefore that much less likely to be able to...
At HW, I might say Joe Louis. Of course Louis could be business like and therefore somewhat understated at times - but it was a methodology...
Yeah, the first fight was obviously more dramatic and punishing but viewing both fights as a combined package, the overall quality was very high...

Yes. Of course you have to factor in peak PAC’s more energised, greater wear/tear style and his selecting of opponents without fear or favour....
Great question. From recollection, I’d say DLH. He certainly was doing well with his jab but appeared to abandon it in the later rounds - but I...
Pretty much each man has his way per the # of rounds and rules of their respective eras imo.
Top read. Now I’m not saying Corbett was a power puncher but he did manage to badly batter and put durable Fitz (though a virtual SMW) down hard...
Yeah, I think Foreman was at least 6’3 1/2” in his absolute prime. George had a good inch on Ali in their perfectly framed face off in Zaire. I...
Yes, we should also consider how Usyk’s size measures up against the size of fighters who are actually prepared to compete at HW these days....
I linked this episode some time back but thought, why not again? Go to 12:15 and shortly after from there Vic makes ref to his exhibition bout vs...
