1. No version of Frazier has a shot against Foreman. A bad stylistic match-up. 2. Ha ha ha. 4. Why have weights then? And you can give legions...
Too much is made of the result of that particular amateur fight. First, obviously, amateur rules tend to favor the volume puncher over the...
I know many would disagree with me, but I'd throw Harada in there. Just an exercise: Would some of you not object to the inclusion of Harada if...
Among other things, had he done that, then we would not have to hear about how Floyd is the greatest fighter since Achilles!

Re: Laguna: It's a typical old-timers v. young 'uns conflict across boxing, nay sports, forums. Some younger guys won't ever acknowledge that...
Elaborate? His opponents were relatively mediocre, and the division didn't have the talent it had in other eras. And even when he won, he looked...
I don't think he implied that anywhere.
Pryor v. Arguello I'd disagree. He took awful a lot of huge shots, was engaged in a very close fight, and possibly needed illegal substance to...
