I was going to buy this book until I had a conversation with the author on social media and she was as big of a pos as she alleges Baer is, incredibly rude and aggressive to a potential customer, so no chance would I buy it now. As for all the research she did, your a writer, that’s what you meant t...

116-111 to Usyk.

did Steve Bunce say Billy Graham created the Phoenix gym? Thought that was Phil Martin? Or did Phil create champs camp?

Just offering some balance dude. I rate John's opinion although I doubt Ben Doughty's ability to write a decent book.

And getting divorced it seems.

Is there film of Tyrone Everett vs Alfredo Escalera?

John Scully has said the book is very, very good on his Facebook page.

Was Scott ranked number one by the WBA and then dropped from the rankings at a later date? Or this an urban myth? Eddie Mustafa Muhmammed (then Eddie Gregory) was ranked number one by the WBA at the time Scott beat him from what I've read.

Steve Collins being hypnotised before the first Eubank fight to not feel any pain.

I've never understood why he took the Thompson rematch straight away. Losing it meant it was a long, long way back for him. I've heard an interview with Kellie Maloney where she said she got out of boxing when fighters started listening to their lawyers instead of their managers. Was she referring t...

I just got finished reading Peltzer's book last night after an unusually long time,at least for me, when it comes to finishing cover to cover.The many short chapters are fast paced snapping off the pages like rapier jabs. Peltzer has a back round in journalism and knows how to apply a Jimmy Cannon ...

For those that have read it or are reading it currently, what do you think of the book?

I thought I had seen it up on YouTube in the past but can’t see it now.

Are there any links to it?

Was this controversial fight televised? I cannot find any footage on YouTube.

Look at one of the best defensive boxers, Wilfred Benetiz, now needs full time care. Very, very sad.

I thought he lost to Leonard as well.

Check out Henry Tillman's points win over Angelo Musone of Italy.

I remember that. A terrible, terrible decision, one of the worst I've ever seen.

A true legend and an all-time great, what a legacy he leaves. I am reminded of the quote from the late sportswriter Jimmy Cannon (I think it was him) when he heard of Rocky Marciano's death, "Just start counting ten over him, he'll soon get up."

RIP Champ.

RIP Neon Leon

He refused to believe the men on the shaky reels were the men he had seen fight in the flesh. They moved nothing like the three-dimensional versions, and he was convinced they were bums who had been mistakenly credited as the great fighters. It seems obvious that the limitations of the technology t...

I remember some years ago, somebody on these forums posted a video of a Wladimir Klitschko fight which had been produced in black and white and then edited to look as though frames had been cut from it. The reason was to make it look like film from the 1910/1920’s, to demonstrate that fighters from ...

The new Sonny Liston documentary from Showtime.

I remembered it. Boxing confidential by Jim Brady. Anyone remember reading it?

I am trying to recall a book I once owned. It was a bit like Boxing Babylon by Nigel Collins, there was a lot of content about former champs who had fell on hard times. I remember a chapter about a boxer who was living in poverty and cut his hand trying to open a can of food with his bare hands. Can...
