A quote of mine from yesterday Two ways I see this fight going. (1) Quick blowout win for the former Champ over a slow, easy to hit journeyman. (2) The big, strong lumbering Irishman wrestles his way through the initial onslaught then the shell of Tyson quits, get injured or DQ'ed etc. Ok I was sit...

concerning the argument that boxers of yesteryear were stronger i would very much disagree, times move on for example the bench press record now is over 800 lbs where in even the 1940s it was even at 400lbs, times change technology changes, the one thing i will concede is that boxers of yesteryear w...

chopping right, who do you currently rank as the most exciting heavyweight on the world scene??

herbie was in the the 200 lb bracket when he started his career so it's plausible for him to make the weight, he always seemed to make himself out to be bigger than he was (i.e wearing big work boots on the weighing scales in the bowe weigh in), anyway it's possible to get any man down to 10 stone i...

correction it was Youri Yelistratov, for boxrec's database

that may be true but he never seemed to try, just witness his destruction of i think it was Alex Vassiliev in his next fight he just went out and threw bombs and overwhelmed him, surely the right tactics to beat a Akinwande?

in the order posted Joe louis v jack dempsey = louis by tko in 10 rounds holmes v tyson = tyson by ko in 9 rounds marciano v lewis = marciano by ko in round 3 ali v jack johnson = ali by easy decision foreman v liston = foreman by late rounds tko frazier v jeffries = agreed frazier by big ko rounds ...

i don't know but my abiding memory of him will always be his trainer Jim Mcdonnell trying to rouse him out of his state of hardly throwing any shots by showing him pictures of his children, against Akinwande.

What is everyone's opinion on the Brighton Rock Scott Welch?

I personally think he had the tools i.e the power and aggression to hit the top but he was found out in the Akinwande fight to be very fragile mentally
