As far as baseball is concerned, I always end up back to Babe Ruth. He was using much heavier bats, and he played less games. The ridiculously juiced up ball has made baseball a joke for a long while. The Mark McGuire, steroid, juiced up ball era is not legitimate. In the juiced up ball era McGuire...

Don Fullmer beat Emile Griffith and Joey Archer.

How much did Loews vaudeville/theatre chain pay Jack Dempsey a week to appear on their stages just after he won the title?

Brilliant statement.

Holly Mims and Georgie Benton were both championship level middleweights who were not allowed to ever get a title chance. Mims fought out of Washington DC but his career was actually managed by the Chicago mob. No fighter had as many three/two day notices to fight a top contender in a ten round fig...

heres the video sidney.

Only shows the same as your one second video.

Rocky Graziano, anyone?

not so. but what a punch. https://i.imgur.com/WC9fGzC.gif yuzo claims "not so" and then posts a one second video that cuts off Archer's legs a foot and a half above the ring floor so that you can't see the very point he claims is "not so." Try to do better next time, yuzo. KALAN...

How long did Spinks last against Mike Tyson?

Torres was from New York. Eddie Cotton was from the Northwest US--a foreigner in NY. Cotton beat the hell out of Torres---and lost a unanimous decision. Cotton won the light-heavyweight title that night. And notice how suddenly Torres disappeared from the scene once Bob Foster appeared. Foster stopp...

Here's some for the "experts" exposing their limited acquaintance with boxing history in their posts . Tell us all about why these decisions are doubtful: Joe Gans--Joe Walcott Joe Gans--Elbows McFadden II Willie Ritchie--Freddie Welsh title fight Packey McFarland--Freddie Welsh Benny Leon...

It's true... Remember Marion Jones? She had a runner's body, and in 2007 was busted for PEDs... Now compare her to Carmelita Jeter (2012 London Olympics) and the woman has an ass like Beyonce & thick powerlifter legs, with a body like Mr T :-? and she blows away all records... How can someone w...

Spinks-Holmes 2 was a robbery, but in the first bout Spinks won clear. And Holmes was awarded a win vs Williams. Probably the biggest robbery ever is Whitaker-Chavez. At least it wasn't a loss for Pernell. Whitaker also involved in other arguable decisions. He was robbed against Ramirez. De La Hoya...

Marciano beat up a British cigarette who repeatedly approached him.

Are the above posters pro-British Cigarettes?

When he wasn't beating his wife, hitting on the break or hitting after the bell.

Pro boxing is more, than sports, it's also business and entertainment. So things occurring out of the ring are important too, cause they directly affect fights themselves, attract attention to them.

To hell with drug addled, cross eyed Larry Merchant.

Even if Paul Anderson did perform the feats you seen to think he did a single exception wouldn't undermine the fact that athletes prior to the 80s generally can't compete with those today. You would need way more than Paul Anderson. What about Michael Phelps, Brian Shaw, Usain Bolt etc What about s...
