Someone besides Charles seems to be punchy. Let's put him in the ring with Izzy Klein.
Going back and re-reading Dubblechin's posts about the career of Ezzard Charles, I'm not so offended anymore. He says that when we evaluate...
I agree with you in general about Rocky in '56. He's no longer the specimen who knocked out Louis and in his final two knockouts he looked sloppy...
Jack Sharkey was featherfisted? Nah.
After getting his mouth torn apart by Sonny Liston's jab in Sonny's television debut (in Chicago Stafium), Julio Mederos retired from competitive...

RoughDiamond: Thank you very much for directing me to this story. I wish everyone on this forum could read it. What a story. And how awfully sad....
I think Bratton in his prime was the closest thing to another Sugar Ray Robinson except his punching power, although potent, didn't quite rise to...
If you've seen some of his fight films and/or read about him, what's your opinion?

Ingemar proved conclusively that he was the best European heavyweight of his era. I consider Mildenberger to have been from that same era. Ingo...
