Agreed they were going to keep getting Wills to fight until he lost an eliminator and he finally did as you said but he gave them an excuse when...
No need to show arrogance. I never made that case for Greb not being in contention, I said he wasn't a cert and I used those boxers as an example...
Just because Harry Greb went around flexing his muscles, beating his chest and calling out Dempsey as a 'bum,' or newspapers were matching Greb as...
Greb was only in the running for a short period of time. It is more modern revisioning that Dempsey dodged Greb. Yes he won an elimination against...
People's lack of understanding of the old timers classic era. 1880 to 1920 is 40 years. No-one would expect Larry Holmes to be mixing it with...

Height, weight and reach are factors, just like speed, footwork, agility etc you learn to use what ever tools you have to your advantage. 1...
Both limited boxers, but Berbick did show glimpses of talent. I think if Berbick comes out relaxed he beats Chisora by UD or late stoppage, if he...
You have to be medically cleared which includes cuts, bumps, bruises and fractures from the previous fight. If you were concussed this has a...
