The commentary team pretty much ignored the first two rounds of the fight, and at one point even suggested that Bowe was trying to tire Tubbs out...
Moorer for me, I think he was more focused than Mercer at this point.
Isn’t the BoxRec one simply a list sorted by the number of title defenses? Ali and Clay are the same man but in separate positions in the list....
Pacquiao for sure, others have covered that better than I could. But I will say Lennox Lewis. I thought he was cumbersome early on…I didn’t think...
In terms of him being smaller, let’s not forget that he did move down to cruiserweight. Qawi beat him, so did Carlos DeLeon.

The Benn fight would’ve been better but I think Roldan loses both. Also. I’d love to have seen Roldan fight Barkley.
Henry Cooper used to bleed before the first bell rang. Alan Minter, Vito Antuofermo, Iran Barkley all warrant a mention.
Michael Moorer probably, I liked his style of boxing. I also liked Razor Ruddock…found myself rooting for him.
Definitely ones praising Liston.

It was great! One thing that struck me is that they don’t always give the actual criteria for rankings either. Some go purely on achievement, some...
John Conteh, makes you feel like you’ve known him for years..tons of charisma. Shea Neary. Very quiet, shy man. Earnie Shavers, very respectful,...
Calzaghe vs Lacey. Keep in mind that Lacey was fancied by many to win this one or at least make it close. Calzaghe dominated every minute and...
I see your point, though I’ve seen it in other sports too, specifically football/soccer. In England, Paul “Gazza” Gascoigne was a prime example of...
