I find it funny how in their first fight I was the only one who predicted a Liston win, but now everyone seems to agree with me for their rematch. Ali wins a wide decision over the bigger yet slower Lewis. Lennox shows true grit as he chases the much faster Ali around the ring, but Ali's lightning j...

I'm going to try having a bit more fun this time around. Ali/Baer Ali was at the top of his game in this one, stopping a game Baer in 7. Ali picked away at Baer with his lightning quick jab for the first couple rounds and Baer's left eye was quickly swollen shut. Baer didn't give up quite that easil...

Don't listen to me, watch the interview clips from the greatest Ali and he in his very own words reiterates the above. Ali was very humble in his older years. Tyson now says he would have lost to Lennox Lewis at any point in his career (which is much closer to the truth than Ali's statement about T...

Swarmers like the Rock and Frazier were made to order for Big George. They'd plow their head into George's chest and try to get into their rhythm. But George would use his physical strength and size to push them off into his own range and unload. End of story. The Rock's chin holds him for about fiv...

Ali Vs Patterson is an interesting question...and I have done some examinng of the evidence. I have not taken a graphic calculator to this which some have claim to have done. (Those who have done that have calculated that on the fastest examples they can find that Patterson outspeeds Ali) But I hav...

When I was a kid my dad showed me old tapes of Ali, and that was really my first exposure to boxing. Although I was a bit of a fan, I never really got into boxing during the Tyson era. In a more modern sense, Erik Morales was really the fighter that got me excited about boxing. I think the Zaragoza ...

Benitez was never stopped in his prime, and he had all the tools to keep Hagler off of him, except size. I don't see Hagler landing solidly that often aginst the uber-slick Benitez. He was only 29 when he fought and was stopped by Leonard, I'd call that his prime. Hagler was definately good enough ...

I gotta agree with Brock. Although, I'd say P4P, Charles was the better fighter, the bigger, stronger Patterson knocks him out late. I can't say I really agree with people saying Patterson's chin would be the difference. Certainly Charles' was better, but I'd hardly consider Patterson glass-jawed, f...
