“Earnie hit me so hard, it shook my kinfolk in Africa,” Ali said after their fight.

You couldn't have told a young Reader that boxing wouldn't always be that packed with talent.

They wouldn’t have let the fight go nowadays. I think it was more amazing dodging a few of the haymakers when he had no clue where he was at.
I do miss good heavyweight boxing. Nobody today would even try to get up from that.

IMO, in terms of excitement, Hagler/Hearns. For a (almost) complete fight, Julio Cesar Chavez/Meldrick Taylor in 1990. Chavez/Pernell Whitaker up there too.

Marvelous Marvin was a tremendous fighter, ungodly tough.

I still can't believe that Hands of Stone quit.

Edit: Sugar Ray v. Hearns in 83 (?) was a classic.
