    Andre Ward isn’t an easy fight for anybody remotely near his size.

    I don’t see Floyd Patterson mentioned either.

    Tarver could potentially go the distance and land some big counters.

    Hopefully AJ learned from his mistakes and can show us all that it was just a fluke. Just like Lewis did with Rahman.

    I don't think so, Tim.

    Pastrano would be extremely vexing for Louis, as I think about it...I am a long time fan of Willies, and one thing that the writers loved to emphasize about him was that he had a "nearly pathological aversion to getting hit"....because, you see...um, that would have made him appear less than attractive to the lady-folk that meant more to Willie than anything...even his boxing career. The fear of getting hit and having his handsome (no homo) face suffer the consequences was what helped make him the perpetual motion, dancing dervish that he was when he won the lightheavy crown from the man whom Willie both feared and respected,...Harold Johnson. Willie might have been more vitally interested inn surviving (ala Jimmy Young) than actually winning vs Louis...seriously. Willie could, after all, move, dance and box defensively and of course, jab, jab, jab...all night long...for 15 rounds, that is, if need be.
