Hasim Rahman Weighs In At 257.4 lbs For Comeback Fight
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Rahman weighed in at 257 lbs for his comeback fight tonight at age 53. He looked solid in the pics I saw, he has definitely put in some hard work regardless of whether or not he should be fighting still. Good on him.

Would Ali’s Rope A Dope Work On Sonny Liston?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . I don't think so. Liston was too skillful and smart for that. I don't think Ali would try it on for those same reasons. Andre2000 said: ↑ I don't think so. Liston was too skillful and smart for that. I don't think Ali would try it on for those same reasons. Click to expand... I agree. Liston would have a field day with it imo Hello, Charles White. Yes.
Looking in the eyes of a killer
At exactly 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, the curtain was raised inside the execution chamber at Oklahoma State Penitentiary and the state of Oklahoma began carrying out the death warrant for Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez. For those permitted inside the witness room, the moments leading up to the execution were marked by an almost unsettling quiet. The unsettling quiet began at the entrance. The halls leading toward the execution area were made of solid gray concrete.
Hasim Rahman’s Comeback Fight Has New Date And Opponent
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Rahman was supposed to have a comeback fight against Robert Simms next Saturday but the card has been cancelled. Smoochie, PopPellegrino and NoChin like this. 941Jeremy, Lesion of Doom, Silver and 1 other person like this. Damn. I had money down on it! CLUBBER said: ↑ Why? Click to expand... No reason given from promoter. Smoochie and PopPellegrino like this. WHy EVEN WATCH BOXING ANYMORE?! CLUBBER said: ↑ Why? Click to expand...

Hasim Rahman vs David Haye
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Prime for prime, who takes this one? Haye would set up lightening fast rights over the top of Rahman’s jab through level changes, and he’d be too quick for Rahman when doing it, and he’d be able to see what’s coming from Rahman in return. Haye mid-late rounds stoppage. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now. Yes, my password is: Stay logged in
Kentucky Derby makes history for two reasons
For more than a century and a half, the Kentucky Derby has remained one of America’s most celebrated sporting traditions, a blend of horse racing, pageantry, fashion and Southern culture that transforms the first Saturday in May into a nationwide event. Since the first Derby was held at Churchill Downs in 1875, the race known as “The Run for the Roses” has produced unforgettable champions, heartbreaking losses and moments that stretch far beyond the racetrack itself.
Is Dennis Rappaport Retired?
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Haven’t really heard much from him since he managed Oleg Maskaev. Did Rappaport retire from boxing management? Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now. Yes, my password is: Stay logged in
How Far Could Martin Rogan Have Gone With The Right Trainer?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . If Rogan had turned pro at a much younger age, say early to mid twenties, and hooked up with an elite trainer, how far could Martin have gone in boxing? Which elite trainer would have brought out the best in him? I would probably say not much difference and that is no disrespect to Rogan. He was a good solid domestic fighter who on his night was a handful for most fighters. Not sure how much better he could have been though.
School me on Luan Krasniqi
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . I haven’t seen too much of Krasniqi, just a few highlights here and there. Seemed like a rugged guy. How good was he? How would he fair today if he were in his prime? "Solid" seems a good way to describe him. A good, fit boxer with decent power was how he was viewed on this forum during his prime. His appearance always reminded me a bit of Max Schmeling for some reason.
The Lifeline in an Hour: Why Blood Donation Matters More Than Ever
In hospitals across Oklahoma and the nation, the quiet urgency of blood donation plays out daily. From trauma victims rushed into emergency rooms to cancer patients undergoing treatment and mothers facing complications during childbirth, donated blood is often the difference between life and death. Yet, despite its critical role in modern medicine, blood remains a resource that cannot be manufactured, only generously given.
Marco Huck To Make Comeback On February 14th
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Marco Huck will make a comeback at age 41 on February 14th against TBA at the OWL Arena. This fight will be at heavyweight. I didn’t see his last few comeback fights so I’m not sure what (if anything) he has left, but I sure was a fan of his for a number of years and I wish him luck. Let it go, Brother Huck. Let it go.

Whats next in Bridgerweight?
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by HistoryZero26, . There are 2 full world champions and 2 interim world champions. Last few months all I've heard is crickets. No announcements nothing. Which of the 4 champs is fighting next? Does anyone know? Hopefully it disappears as it’s a bs division. Or at least in my eyes it is. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?

30 Years Ago Today, Norbert Ekassi Dies
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Was just reading up on Ekassi a bit ago and remembered that he passed away on Christmas Eve in 1995 after a freak accident. One heck of a hard hitter in his time. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now. Yes, my password is: Stay logged in

Just Me, Or Did The EBU Heavyweight Title Used To Be More Prestigious?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Seems to me as though the EBU heavyweight title used to be a lot more prestigious than it is today. A great history behind this title, so many big names have held it. When did holding the EBU title become less of a big deal than it was back in the day, especially at heavyweight? It was a major belt until 1946 then it was the most prestigious regional belt before NABF and USBA hit the scene.
Is Mike right that Ali never threw a body punch in his whole career?

Francis Ngannou vs Tom Aspinall
Discussion in 'MMA Forum' started by Charles White, . I don’t watch much MMA, so I’m no expert, but I do catch the occasional heavyweight fight. If Francis Ngannou were to somehow get back in the UFC, how would he do against Tom Aspinall? He is 38 years old, so would the age gap play a huge role in the outcome? Who wins and how?

Shane Mosley Was Stronger Than Lamon Brewster?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Around the 4:10 mark Brewster starts talking about how he calls Mosley “Mighty Mouse” because Shane was stronger than him at everything including bench press, squats, etc. That seems wild to me. Brewster was so much bigger and stronger looking than Mosley as heavyweight champ. Shane must put up some very impressive numbers in the gym. Just found it interesting and thought I’d share.
Gerry Cooney vs David Haye
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Prime for prime. Can Cooney catch Haye early or does Haye’s speed/reflexes allow him to avoid the early onslaught of Gerry and land a huge shot of his own? Who wins this probably short, action packed fight?

Lamon Brewster vs Martin Bakole
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by dmt, . 12 rounds, who wins the battle of the overweight heavies? I’ll take Brewster by late rounds stoppage or decision. Much better all around fighter imho. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now. Yes, my password is: Stay logged in
I know George was into weightlifter all the way into his 70's. He was still pushing some very heavy weights. He also stated his trainer was one of the very first guys to utilize mits on a regular basis.
Matt Skelton vs Dave Allen - Who Wins?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Both in their primes, how does this one play out? I think Skelton wins on points in an ugly, scrappy fight that would be crude but entertaining. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now.

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Reinhardt, . If Big Mak can get by Allen later this year this fight needs to happen. The winner I promise would get a shot at a big money contender or a title shot sometime next year as either one would be seen as easy pickings. Also it would have an element of a loser leaves town match, Chisora would be too old to continue and Makhmudov would be viewed as losing to a dinosaur and his options are narrowed. Who do you like?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by AwardedSteak863, . So I don't expect this thread to get many looks but this would be a fun fight between two hard hitting Cruiserweights that both fought with a kill or be killed style. Both guys are sadly not with us anymore but I remember their fights well from the mid 2000's. Letterlough and Julio Gonzalez fought an absolute classic on Friday night fights and Bell had two memorable wars with Jean Marc Mormeck on Showtime. Who do you guys like?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . An older Golota but one with focus and more mental fortitude than shown in his youth against the young undefeated contender in “Baby” Joe Mesi. Who takes this one? Does the more experienced Golota of the Byrd and Ruiz fights handle the up and coming Mesi, or does Buffalo’s 3rd Franchise edge out a win over a big name to advance his own career? I think this would have been a great fight in 2004 with plenty of action. Who’s your pick?
Tommy Brooks Passes Away

Anthony Joshua vs Ray Mercer primes (Poll added)
Glass City Cobra said: ↑ I get what you're saying, but it's still an impressive KO because Francis is a huge guy with an extensive combat background (outside of boxing mind you) and went 10 with Fury without even taking a knee so his chin was elite having also taken elbows, kicks, etc. If Mercer is in one of his lazy, lackadaisical going-through-the-motions moods, even his iron chin won't save him from Joshua. It wasn't just the power.
Bruce Seldon Jr vs Alex Leapi Jr - Who Wins?
Some will know that the sons of former heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon and former heavyweight contender Alex Leapai have both just embarked on their own professional boxing journey. Both are right around the same stage in their career, though Seldon Jr is considerably older. This could be a fun fight of juniors at some point down the road. Who takes this fight?

Last I heard he was tied up in a couple of lawsuits with both his manager and promoter, so until all that legal stuff is cleared up I doubt any major promoter wants to risk doing business with Franklin.
James Bonecrusher Smith v Hasim Rahman
Smith never won a war. He was big and strong but a bit of a front runner. He lost to Holmes, tyson Ruddock, Witherspoon, Moore, Page, even marvis freaking Frazier. A cat could probably outbox him. His best wins are a young Bruno, weaver, and an unmotivated Witherspoon who was basically forced into the ring. Rahman has wins over Lewis, berbick, sullivan, and sanders. Thats enough to convince me he'd win at his best. Even his losses were usually close competitive fights (tua, toney, etc).
David Haye vs Herbie Hide - Who Wins?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Both in their primes, who wins the battle of the fast handed glass cannons? Haye was technically better, and I think he gets the bomb in first and gets the KO. Wouldn't bet a dime on this one though. Very good match-up.

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Boxingfan786, . A 1995/96 Tyson as he was less shy than pre prison and and wasn’t washed yet. If Miller was throwing insults and trying to be the alpha in the room how would Mike handle it? Hypothetically if they around at the same time. I don’t think Miller would try to be the alpha in the room with Tyson present. Miller is quite the chubby bunny. I reckon Mike would have a field day in biting him.
Do Any Boxers Beat Prime Hasim Rahman In A Street Fight?
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . I’ve seen a few interviews of Rahman over the years where he mentions his street fighting prowess and says that he truly believes that no heavyweight boxer past or present could beat him in a street fight. Who do you think has a shot? This content is protected Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now. Yes, my password is: Stay logged in
What Would Gerry Cooney Weigh In This Era?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . Put Gerry in his prime with all of this modern training and nutrition that many claim makes fighters today better than those of the past. What does he weigh in at with modern strength and conditioning? His body type always looked like he was going to be lanky no matter what, but I imagine he would fill out a bit if he fought today.

No nude beach coming to Marshall County
Recent online chatter and viral TikTok videos have resurrected rumors of a nude beach, or even a full nude resort, coming to Marshall County, particularly near Lake Texoma. The speculation traces back several years but resurfaced lately, along with claims falsely attributing support from The Madill Record. Recent online chatter and viral TikTok videos have resurrected rumors of a nude beach, or even a full nude resort, coming to Marshall County, particularly near Lake Texoma.
Martin Rogan vs Chris Arreola
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . How does this fight play out back in the day? I think this had the potential to be a good, though not technically brilliant, scrap. Arreola beats him in my opinion - he was better overall and I think it will show. Arreola on points. BEATDOWNZ and mr. magoo like this. Ilesey said: ↑ Arreola beats him in my opinion - he was better overall and I think it will show. Arreola on points. Click to expand...

How Would Lamon Brewster Fare Against Today’s Heavyweights?
Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by Charles White, . If Brewster were in his prime now, does he get a piece of the heavyweight championship at some point? Tough as nails, great power, good hand speed, and decent boxing skills when he wanted to. I think he is a tough fight for anybody. This content is protected He'd probably do pretty well. He'd burn out even more quickly, though, IMO. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now.
