You've muddled the fights and results up from the show in Newcastle on Friday night. Kyron Dryden fought Alex Ahtong (http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=51747&cat=boxer) and won by a split decision Scott Edwards didn't lose to Michael Upton, he didn't even fight Upton. Edwards fought Tyso...

I'm from Australia and I've got leave from work in May and June. I've traveled to the US a few times before and I've wanted to attend a hall of fame weekend. I was just wondering if anyone has been before? The main issue I'm having is with accommodation because Canastota seems to be a smallish town ...

Sam Hemawi fought on Saturday, he won in the 2nd round not the 1st. There's a video floating around on facebook of the fight.

It's the centennial of the Tommy Burns v Jack Johnson bout in Sydney Australia. I found this article an interesting read on the event.

Where do you find out the Canvas Classic fights?

Good to see Vic Patrick make the list.

The real question is this, for all these Vitali Klitschko nut huggers: Can you sincerly see V. Klitschko holding that high of a KO percentage in the eras prior to his own? I sure as hell don't. Actually, I could, and this is why. I think he'd do the same to the level off opposition that he'd beat, ...

That's a pretty credible source you have. In the Hardwick fight he had either a tooth or several teeth knocked out and the Dentist whofixed them didn't do a great job. The pneumonia from what I've read came as a result of the blood poisoning and from what I understand was recorded as his official ca...

Dude, I think it was a joking reference to your screen name.

Oh.

Yeah I watched Godfather I and II the day before I posted that, saw your name and couldn't resist the quote.

I'll sound a little biased because of my name, but Darcy was a great fighter. The only two middleweights of the time he didn't beat were Mike Gibbons and the real champ Al McCoy so he fought good opposition. Sundance Kid, are you sure it was Fred Fulton who injured Darcys mouth leading to the blood ...

It's been on the list for two days. :P

It wasn't me who said it, it's obvious someone else is as smart as I am.
What have I done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?

The only reason the union jack is still in Australia's flag is we're too lazy to change it. I know; I was just joshing. Following the American Civil War, many Southern states kept the Confederate Flag as part of their state flags. Up until the 1980s, the "Southern Cross" was still viewed ...

Dave Sands twice beat Carl 'Bobo' Olsen, so he could definately fight.

According to Sqaure-Ring, we've just witnessed one of the best eras in middleweight history.

Ezzard had only had about 15 fights not 22, his managers made up half a dozen wins so he could become a contender quicker.

If we're talking linear champ, I'm pretty its Monzon. Monzon definately has the most title defences, Hagler might have reigned longer. If Hopkins IBF reign counts, then he holds the record for both.

Ezzard wrote:What order would you put these MWs in? Or which fighters stand out from the rest?

Flowers
Walker
Zale
Cerdan
La Motta
Burley
Tiger
Griffith
Benvenuti
Nunn
Toney
Hopkins

IMO, I'd rank them as follows:

Walker
Burley
Cerdan
La Motta
Hopkins
Flowers
Griffith
Benvenuti
Zale
Toney
Tiger
Nunn

I can see there's a few trolls in here.

>>>Sorry, barry, but it was the other way round. DM held three belts but each federation wanted him to fight a different opponent, the WBA within 6 (!) weeks. DM (and therefore a RJJ-DM matchup) fell victim to boxing politics, the IBF and (especially) WBA thought DM as title holder wouldn't sell.<<...

Greg Page wasn't a real #1 contender. He was just the WBC's excuse for a #1 contender. Peter Okhelo's the WBC #1 contender now. Would you be too angry if Oleg Maskaev dropped the WBC title in favor of the IBF title simply because he didn't feel like fighting Okhelo? Okhello is ranked somewhere betw...

No, there isn't. Armstrong could've gone for the jr. welterweight title, which was active around the same time period. Barney Ross, who was the welterweight champion before Armstrong, held the lineal title at 135, 140 and 147. Tony Canzoneri won the lineal titles at 126, 135 and 140. Jem Mace won t...

Is there actually anyone who has won the linear titles at 4 different weight divisions? Off the top of my head there are only guys I can think of who won the linear title at three divisions (Armstrong, Fitzsimmons, Ray Leonard and De La Hoya).

I remember when I used to be like Dentsun, I think I was 14 at the time. A few 100 thrashings on message boards later and I saw the light, hopefully Dentsun at least has the ability to learn something from the whippings he is getting.
