Oddly specific but what do you have in mind?
Rest in Peace, Big George Foreman. Could never forget your punching power, becoming at one point the oldest heavyweight champion, and resume. And...
Is it Greb’s 45-0 record in 1919? Maybe Armstrong holding three belts simultaneously? Pacquiao’s 8 belts? Joe Louis’s unbeaten title defenses?
Joe Frazier vs Bob Foster was brutal, and perhaps along with Sanchez vs Gomez. One of my favorite parts was the juxtaposition between Sanchez’s...
Got inspired by @Russell. But instead of R1 KOs, it’s the entire fight. Monzon vs Benvenuti 1 is one of my favorites, the crowd was roaring for...

I rate Liston P4P higher. His best win (Patterson) is better and greater than Dempsey’s best win. (Sharkey) And unlike Dempsey. Liston cleaned out...
I’ve heard on this forum that Sammy Angott was really good at controlling inside fighters. Any others?

Agreed.
As of right now, I’ve been real interested in Greb and are about to buy a book about him. But I don’t know which to buy. There’s Bill Paxton book...
Langford, a 17 year old just beating not just the champion, but a top 5 lightweight of all time is just insane. And IIRC, Joe Gans was in his...
