John L Sullivan v James J Jefferies

Ali didn't have a punch. Any takers?

Holyfield v Bowe II
Hopkins v Tarver
Whittaker v Nelson

I am reading a book by Jeff Murphy about Johnny Owen. First and foremost, I think that anyone who is even 0.01% of a boxing fan should harbour a heartfelt debt to Johnny Owen. Reading his story (only half of it, so far) I certainly do. This man gave the ultimate sacrifice for something all of us he...

OK, screw the round by round, damn computer crashed twice while i tried to do this. Witherspoon 6'3", 230lb, 78" reach, Willard 6'6", 230lb, 83" reach. Witherspoon beats Willard by unanimous decision over 15. I see Willard having his moments early and up to 6-7th round, using his...

Why would Audley not fight a bum? Owen Beck is living proof that a weak fighter with half the name of Audley Harrison can get a title shot after looking like shit and beating a bum. I bet he's closer now to a title shot than he would be if he had beat both Williams and Guinn. That's how the divisio...

Who can forget Mickey Duff begging Mugabi to dig deep when Mugabi looks to want to quit. "John, if you won't do it for me, do it for the father" - an allusion to some catholic priest Mugabi had befriended (or vice versa) and who was at the fight. :o During Mugabi's fight with Hagler there...

Is Hard Rock the guy who had Lou Duva in his corner? Landed some good shots on Mugabi? Didn't watch that fight all the way through yet, but saw some of it, he did take Mugabi's best punches and was still fighting back. Collins, clarify - are you talking about the Hagler fight, when Duff exhorted Mug...

if Frazier had Ali's height and reach it might not even be an issue.....
If my grandmother had.......................

Oh yeah, have to add, Duane Thomas looked like he was shitting himself when he got tagged by Mugabi, and could not hide the fact that he was surprised as hell at what happened off one LUCKY punch. And if anyone has the fight, check out Fletchers facial expressions during his fight with the beast - h...

:lol: This matchup makes me laugh. Two weeks ago, I would have said that Mugabi had a good chance, but I got The Beast's career on DVD and I have reevaluated the Beast as a result. Anyone who saw the Frank Fletcher fight should have known that Hagler would eat Mugabi up, I can't see why Mugabi was ...

For that matter, how about John Mugabi vs. Antonio Tarver?

Oh, welcome to boxrec, by the way. Not a bad first post, you came up with a theoretical matchup that has not been suggested before (to my knowledge).

Guys hate De La Hoya because girlfriends and wives end up drooling when he comes on screen.
There's no need to be bitter, just tell her that he is a wife beater and owns fighting dogs which he regularly abuses - worked for me!

no not funny...but a fact

It is also a fact that you have a micro penis.

Given the title of this thread, I'd say that was inevitable. I'm off to check out the 'size matters' discussion.

"One has to wonder what Frazier could have done with Ali's height and reach".
I Love it.

Whoooooaaaaaa, easy tiger, one round at a time, one round at a time!

WOW! Taverner, while at work I was seriously thinking about including Mike Dokes, but decided that I don't know enough about his style of fighting to do a fair analysis. Lee Savold I never really considered, because I settled fairly quickly on Walcott for that era, I think his style will hold up wel...
