Hard to compare knockouts from an aesthetic perspective, and even things such as camera angles outside of the fighter's control, can affect how we...
Lack of symmetry is a major issue in ranking 80s heavyweights, possibly more so than any other division and era. Holmes and Tyson aside, it was...
The Huck fight gives me enough confidence to pick Louis. But Povetkin is a difficult nights work for any non super heavyweight in history.
McClellan is an enigma. Obviously his career was cut short in the tragic fight with Benn, but even upto then it's hard to get a handle on how good...
Barrera idolised Salvador Sanchez. While Barrera's style evolved and changed through his career, and he did show glimpses of Sanchez-style...
Greg Page - Mark Wills is still a head scratcher. Rahman-Maskaev probably qualifies, but there’s also a lingering doubt that the style match up...
116-112 Usyk. Plenty of close rounds, and not always easy to see what was landing and what was blocked on the gloves. Could see anywhere from...
It was an “early” stoppage. Single knockdown where fighter gets up before the count. That isn’t strictly the same as “premature”. The ref was...
Go with consensus. It's possible in the sense that it's Duran, and no-one is invulnerable. Duran stopping Chavez isn't the most likely outcome though.

The Cummings fight does fly in the face of the great chin / no survival instincts theory. Bruno was shut down completely by a single shot, but...
The human body is a complex thing, and doesn’t lend itself to a linear 1-10 scale for durability. With Bruno, if you caught him hard enough in...
Like covered earlier, there was a sense at the time that the next dominant heavyweight would most likely be American. Grant at least superficially...
Cooper was a lot more erratic than the general perception. He was capable of outboxing very capable opponents, dropping and stopping durable guys,...
We obviously haven't got a visual size comparison, but I don't think size would be a factor here. By Kessler's era, 168 had moved on from being a...
