    Is there a reason Duran hasn't come up yet? Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Benitez...

    Reading Grim’s Wikipedia page I saw a book based on Joe Grim that I wasn’t aware of.

    Grimmish.

    By an Aussie writer, focusing on Grim’s fights in Australia. Sounds perhaps a bit offbeat but likely a good read nonetheless.

    Joe Frazier: He only lost 4 times to two ATGs and extremely high ranking ATGs at that.

    Twice to Foreman and twice to Ali ain't bad at all.

    Great shoutout, IIRC Clarke has (counting newspaper decisions) 27 losses to men enshrined in the hall. His win column includes giving Sam Langford his only loss of the 1914 season (with Sam going 13-1-3 for the year).
