Shane Mosley sparred with guys liek Azumah Nelson, J.C. Chavez, and others when he was a teenager.

Ali vs Holmes -Yeah, they fought as pros, but I heard they had better sparring sessions.

Foreman vs. Liston

Carl "The Truth" Williams vs. Mike Tyson -Again, I heard their sparring sessions, only two, were better than their fight as pros.

I see you admire Ez as I do.

Charles is one of the best fighters of all-time. He would be among the best from 160-190Lbs in any era. Thru his first 100 bouts he went 87-12-1. Thru these fights the only fighters he faced and did not beat or draw with are: Kid Tunero a close decision loss in his 28th bout, no rematch Nino Valdes ...

Tim Witherspoon was WBA and WBC HW champ. He made one "successful" defense in his career. Witherspoon was very good.

Jersey Joe Walcott had one succesful defense, 2-6-1Ko in world HW title fights overall.

He's one of if not the very best ever. My top 3 list includes(in no order)-

R. Robinson, H. Armstrong, and E. Charles

I know one of the Gracie's challenged Joe Louis years ago, his son, Royce challenged Tyson a few years back. Both Gracie's challenges were ignored but so where Louis and Tyson's challenge of a boxing match to them. It's simple whoever fights on their terms is going to have the advantage. In a boxing...

Oh, I totally agree that he was even better at WW. The reason I mentioned some of MW bouts is because many people discredit him at MW. My point was basically, if you are going to rate him as a MW don't forget to look at his MW fights before he lost to Turpin as well as some of the bouts after he def...

He won his first 17 bouts including an 8th round stoppage win over E. Shavers. He lost to Norton and Dokes in his next two bouts but gave a good accounting of him self in both. He won his next 4 bouts including a decision win over B. Mercado. He entered the ring at 21-2 vs the 40-0 Holmes. He was ba...

It was exciting. Ruddock was on a roll back then. He knocked Smith out cold in the 7th round. Smith was out for several minutes. Ruddock knocked out Dokes in the 4th round 9 months later and had him out for a few minutes as well. Two very brutal knockouts.

with 89 Knockouts. Robinson came back and was clearly not the same. Robinson showed that even though he was past his best days he was still better than most and was able to go 1-2-1-1Ko vs Fullmer and 1-1 vs Basilio. Robinson was almost 41 when he faced Fullmer for the fourth time. My point is that ...

Alot of people say things like, If Turpin could beat Robinson why not so and so?" Robinson was 128-1-2-87 1NC when he entered the ring vs Turpin. Robinson lost a close 15 round decision to Turpin on 7-10-51, resulting in only his second loss in 133 pro bouts. On 9-12-51 Robinson stopped Turpin ...

Many people like to say that Robinson was never consistantly successful at MW.

Lewis went 103-8-6-60 overall and 5-1-2 in world title fights at LHW and HW. He started his career 26-0-1-17 and beat James J. Braddock W10 along the way, he would go 1-1 against him lifetime. His first loss was to Maxie Rosenbloom, who he went 2-3 against lifetime. He also beat Emilio Martinez(3-1-...
