    Carl “The Cat” Thompson

    ByMatt Cotterell 16/10/2004

    The Cat Nigel Benn, Naseem Hamed, Chris Eubank?, hell you might even get a Lennox Lewis in there, all the above are plausible answers when asking who was the most exciting British fighter of the last decade? A name that wouldn’t get too many mentions (at least not amongst Joe public) would be Carl Adrian…

    Lennox Lewis Legacy

    BySimon Harrison 16/10/200412/05/2013

    “There’s no way I could ever beat him. He’s just too big and too strong. I’m just glad he didn’t kill me. He’s a magnificent fighter.” The words of a drug free; free thinking; lucid speaking Mike Tyson; after the bout with Lewis. High praise indeed from a fighter who despite massive flaws; knows his…

    The Sugar Ray Leonard – Roberto Duran Trilogy

    ByLee Bellfield 16/10/2004

    A classic rivalry between two different boxing styles and personalities. Duran who was stepping up to welterweight had been the lightweight champion for 6 years between 1972 and 1978. Leonard was a 1976 Olympic Gold medallist and had won the WBC welterweight championship from Wilfred Benitez in a classic boxing match with a 15th round…

    What If…. Tyson met Ali in his prime

    BySimon Harrison 16/10/2004

    The general consensus is that the 70s was the golden era of heavyweight boxing, and that this helps Ali be perceived as the “greatest’ champion of the division. But some on this site claim Tyson as the best. So I thought I would put Tyson back 25 years, so that his career time mirrored Ali,…

    Ken Norton

    ByJim Amato 16/10/2004

    KEN NORTON – SHOULD HE REALLY BE IN THE HALL OF FAME? Seven and a half years ago the very personable and popular Ken Norton was enshrined in Boxing’s Hall of Fame. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. I met Ken a couple of years ago in Canastota. His rapport with the fans…

    Class of 1994 Against Class of 2004

    BySimon Harrison 16/10/200416/10/2004

    Who wins in a battle of the class of 2004 against the class of 1994? Below is my take on the battle from 126 up, as my current knowledge of anyone 122 and under is criminally poor. Pacquiano-Johnson at 126 Boom Boom Johnson was at his pomp around this time, in the middle of 12…

    THE RISE AND NEVER FALL OF GEORGE CHUVALO

    ByJim Amato 16/10/2004

    For most of the 1960’s and part of the early 1970’s Canadian George Chuvalo was a mainstay in the talent rich heavyweight ratings. RING Magazine founder Nat Fleischer called George on of the most durable fighters he had ever seen. In his long distinguished career the rock jawed Chuvalo was NEVER off his feet. Amazing…

    Naseem Hamed

    ByMatt Cotterell 16/10/200412/05/2013

    30th of September 1995, as far as I’m concerned it all started to go down hill from there. Naseem Hamed had just relieved Steve Robinson of the WBO featherweight title and should have been on the road to being a boxing legend, but as we all know it didn’t work out entirely to plan. A…

    All Time Heavyweight Boxing Tournament

    BySimon Harrison 16/10/2004

    Below is my all time Heavyweight tournament; What if a mythical tournament could be made up of all the heavyweight champs since the use of Queensberry rules started the modern era of boxing? Now there have been 35 champions since Corbett took out Sullivan in 1892; to win the first World Title, so to make…

    Mike Tyson – How it could have been

    BySimon Harrison 16/10/200416/10/2004

    So after 19 years “Iron’ Mike finally has decided to hang up his gloves. We all know that he has pretty much been in semi-retirement for the last 3 years, but I think the death of his manager Bill Cayton was the final straw. But what a career! Tyson leaves us with a 64 fight…

    Jack O’Halloran

    ByJim Amato 16/10/200416/10/2004

    THE FORGOTTEN GREAT WHITE HOPE As Muhammad Ali ruled the heavyweight division in the mid 60’s, white hope contenders came and went. Henry Cooper, George Chuvalo and Karl Mildenberger all were vanquished by the “Greatest”. When Ali was forced to relinquish his crown in 1967, the best of the white contenders was probably Jerry Quarry….

    Esteban De Jesus – A Tragic Story

    ByJim Amato 16/10/200416/10/2004

    If ever a boxer was a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, it was Puerto Rico’s Esteban De Jesus. This former one time claimant of the W.B.C. lightweight title may have been the best Puerto Rican 135 pounder since Carlos Ortiz. Unfortunately he boxed during the era of possibly the…
