Blog 6: Jack Dempsey: Tommy Gunn

Jack Dempsey is one of the greatest fighters who ever stepped foot in the ring, who had a great punch, great determination, and a great style to match. Every single one of you Mike Tyson fans better recognize that his style was molded off of the great Jack Dempsey.

I like this fight because it marked the end of a curse that Larry Holmes brought on himself. When Larry Holmes built...

Boxing HOF Inductee

John L. Sullivan

The reason that I chose Sullivan for my HOF this blog is because I view him as the second greatest fighter of al time. He was a man who had no style, but could, as he put it, "lick any son of a bitch in the house." He fought hundreds of men (although there are only around 45 fights recorded) and has been reported on numerous occasions to have broken bones with single punches.

He was the greatest because of his chin, strategic fighting, and unbeatable determination....

Blog 3: Henry Armstrong: SugarShane

Armstrong had a large heart, and he took medicine so that his body would work normally. On the night of his fights, he would not take his medicine, and that would...

Week 2: Sugar Ray Robinson: Bill1234

Sugar Ray Robinson was one of the greatest fighters ever lived. He fought the most champions than anybody in history, a record number of 18. He fought up to 85-0 with 69 KOs, 40 of them in the first round, in his amateur career before going professional in 1939. He fought until he was 40-0 and he fought Jake La Motta, losing his first match ever. He beat another man, and after beating that man, he had a rematch with Jake La Motta, beating him by...
