Louis by early KO. Complete and utter mismatch. Taking punches from MW's and a few light HW's in no way qualifies taking them from the best...
Gotta go with Holy in this one. Faster hands, higher workrate, great chin and is used to fighting big heavies and big punchers. Liston was good...
Baer of course has a punchers chance but Dempsey overall is the more complete package. Baer is too inconsistent and mentally erratic whereas...
This fight is a 50/50 proposition but one thing tends to make me lean towards Louis and that is that for all his size and power, Lewis wasn't...
I have often debated this one in my head over and I still can't come up with a definitive answer. This much is clear though. This fight does NOT...

Janitor brings up a good point. Jack Johnson was very well spoken as was Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries. The most eloquent was probably Tunney....
I'd favor Dempsey slightly. 60/40. It's either Jack by KO in 2-3 rds or Marciano by late round stoppage. Walcott and Moore decked Rocky early but...
If Spinks can maintain his distance and keep Marciano at bay with his left then he stands a very good chance of pulling out a decision win....
Although I admit that it's very interesting to compare modern boxing to it's ancestors, It's really an exercise in futility as we're comparing two...
I too slightly favor Ali but this could certainly go either way. Unlike bombers such as Shavers and Foreman Louis was a tremendous finisher when...
Dempsey trained down to his weight because fights back then were scheduled for 15-25 rounds, not the 12 rounds we have today. He probably would...
I think it was a few factors actually. More body mass. No drying out before his fights and not exhausting himself early by trying to knock...
I think you have to take into account that these super heavies didn't actually fight like Foreman of 73 fought. George came right at Frazier and...
