Re: Evander Holyfield vs Joe Louis

[quote="Hookie74"][quote="Goodnight, Irene"]Holyfield would be a 1/2" taller at 6'2 1/2" with a 1 1/2" longer reach at 77 1/2". At aprox. 210Lbs. (in those days), Holyfield would be the heavier man by about 10Lbs. If you've ever seen Holy in person you would k...

Re: Evander Holyfield vs Joe Louis

I think Holy has a very good chance to beat Joe Louis. Evander could move like few other heavies ever could and this is a problem style wise for Joe. Holy can also counter punch well and he has respectable power. I'd say that the Holy from the Bowe rematch with the extra size could be real trouble f...

Higher

I"ve never heard anyone getting out of FEDERAL PRISON early. Once you're in, you serve your term. Generally people dont. Thats why Mike Vick was so scared about the Feds being the ones to charge him. The average federal prisoner does 85% of their sentence. Average state time is well under 50%....

Ike

Ike will fight again but he won't be a force. Maybe he can make a few bucks to get his life in order.

tough

I've done similar dirty things in sparring. Usually because I was getting blasted or running low on fuel. I'm sure if the whole video was shown you would see Jeremy getting beat up. Behavior like that is simple when your opponent does not know that those tactics are a part of the rules. It's general...

How long?

Just how long has this guy been off? Any athlete that has been away from a sport for a while can tell you that the lay off takes things away from you that you never regain even when you get back in shape. Personally, I took a few years off from basketball to concentrate on boxing. When I went back t...

Suicide

Trying to walk in close on a young Foreman was Suicide. Just ask Norton and Frazier about George's uppercut. I don't think Tyson has much of a chance here. I actually would pick the comebacking Foreman to beat the post prison Tyson. Prime for Prime Tyson gets ko'd.

Handle it

Cooney looked tremendous in that fight while he was on his feet. Cooney was very fast for such a tall guy and he was very creative with his left hand. He was miles ahead of George in terms of skill. He just could not handle that big power. George ko'd him with a high-light reel Left uppercut/ right ...

i READ IT

I remember growing up as a kid born in 1978 I was about 8 years old when Tyson first became champ. Tyson was like a God to us as kids. We all had the Mike Tyson's Punch Out NES video game, and Mike Tyson was like a superhuman warrior. Mike Tyson is the sole reason I have been a huge fight fan my wh...

pudding

Yeah, I was a big fan of young Tyson, and I still believe he could have done so much more with proper handling. But how anyone can fault Lewis for systematically kicking Tyson's ass is beyond me. Lennox beat him fair and square, and soundly. Not a very hard thing to have done at the stage Tyson was...

Thats one way of looking at it. On the other hand, maybe those guys were too cautious for a reason..... .......these Tyson threads are invincible. They just don't die. Smith was being outboxed by the stiffest least natural HW ever to be champion (Bruno) until Frank's glass jaw was exposed, again. I...
