It's possible. Jim Braddock wasn't necessarily a big man but he dwarfed Marciano in pictures when he visited him at his gym. 5'9" sounds probably closer to the truth.

Oddly enough I think the Price-Thompson fights were both upsets because everybody assumed that the first fight was a fluke. Price did marginally better the second time but it's clear in retrospect that Price was not the credible contender many thought him to be. Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all

You can basically determine reach from height. It doesn't apply (obviously) in all cases. I think Tommy Burns had a 75" reach though he was 5'7", and I have the same reach though I'm a shade under 5'10". I'd say there's a margin of error of plus or minus 3 inches. If Satterfield was 5...

Boxing needs a "Mike Tyson Act" just like the "Muhammad Ali Act" saying nobody can be in a bout where the age differential is more than ten years. Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all Not gonna work. We see boxers in their prime still at 35-38 years old.. where they might sig...

Damn Stacey Frazier was old as crap too. At least it was two old men battling it out. McCall kept hitting the dude in the back of the head. From what I saw on youtube he is beyond slower than molasses. Paul would knock him out easily. There needs to be some kind of major reform from the ABC preventi...

There is a difference between being in shape for your age and boxing shape. Froch would have to train 6 months I suspect before he'd be in shape for a proper training camp with sparring, strength training, etc. It'd take basically a year in order for him to properly do it. Unless his ego is that big...

I had it 96-95 for Serrano. Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all I assume you had a 10-10 round in there somewhere? I had the 3rd and the 10th even. Let's be honest some of those rounds were awfully damn close. I always say when in doubt make it an even round. :TU: Jesus Christ Almighty God bles...

I'd rather the water bottle than the headbutting and flipping tables and screaming like a lunatic bit he's done in the past, but it's still bad taste. Sometimes I wonder if he is encouraged to do this stuff just to drum up more interest since Tommy Fury doesn't exactly have much charisma. Jesus Chri...

If he retired right now he's got to wait ten years before he would ever be remotely inducted. That's the rules. And yes he's a 2x heavyweight champion he'd be in the IBHOF at some point. Then again is Tim Witherspoon in the IBHOF yet? He was 2x heavyweight champion too. I reckon it don't matter for ...

Tbf Roy was basically shot from Tarver onwards. I still remember his failed attempts at the cruiserweight title getting annihilated by Enzo and Denis Lebedev. Tyson was pretty much done as a top tier HW in 1997 after losing to Holyfield. Pretty much accurate. The post Holyfield years were largely a...

Tbf Roy was basically shot from Tarver onwards. I still remember his failed attempts at the cruiserweight title getting annihilated by Enzo and Denis Lebedev. He was definitely shot after that, but still hung around occasionally beating journeymen and fringe contenders in unspectacular fights. https...

That didn't stop him from blasting out David Haye when it was clear Haye was literally hobbling on one leg. I used to like Bellew but he's a real annoyance sometimes.

Dubois is young enough to recognize being the next superstar heavyweight is getting involved in things outside of the sport. When Mike Tyson was coming up he parlayed his win streak into Nintendo, late night talk shows, and later WWF/WWE. What's in today is social media and Jake Paul, for better or ...

The thing is, I have seen guys in their 40s who were great come back and lose to journeymen. Earnie Shavers lost to a guy named Brian Yates who was 5-16-2 by 2nd round knockout. Razor Ruddock was stopped in 3 rounds by the 8-2-0 Dillon Carman who was previously kayoed by a 4-2 opponent. Etc. It's no...

After what we saw between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul I have no doubt John Fury would have kicked Mike Tyson's ass.

Very hard fight to predict imo. Burns was one of the top middleweights of his time. He wasn't able to beat Jack "Twin" Sullivan, but he did have a 20 round draw with him for the title. He did have back to back 20 round draws with Hugo Kelly also for the middleweight title. Both Sullivan an...

Paul wins. Name me a single example of a man who was gone for more than a decade without any tune ups nearly 50 years old jumping up 2 weight classes being able to beat even a solid journeyman? I'll wait. This is all nostalgia talking from fans. There is a reason why we do not see these guys make co...

I would argue he might be passed Tommy Fury's level at this point. Fury has done relatively nothing since KSI while Paul at least seems to be training constantly with a goal in mind. If Fury is basically Midlands champion level, then Paul is arguably British fringe contender level. That might be bla...

Who?????? :lol: Surely they could have found someone better than this. Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all Darn it Henry! I wanted to be the first to say who? :yay: :lol: After last night's freakshow you'd think all matchmakers would be put on notice to not stage obvious mismatches. This sport ...

Ali was shot to pieces but nowhere near as much as Tyson was last night. I suspect Ali would win by KO inside of five rounds.

Was able to watch part of Taylor-Serrano 2 as Netflix kept crashing and I thought that Taylor edged it out. She was landing like 2-3 more punches than Serrano in exchanges, especially after the cut. That headbutt was nasty. ((Rewatched the fight and scored it 96-95 Serrano)) As for Tyson-Paul, my ne...
