Boxing

From Africa-American descent with Irish ancestry

Ed Sanders - boxer - died in 1954.

Yes, it is. The only boxer who was probably a better pound for pound, according to the boxing critics, is Harry Greb. Greb fought 299 fights and winning 261 of them. Under his opponents were also some heavyweight boxers he defeated. Greb however is like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster or the Yeti in boxing. There aren't some films left of his fights, who could show how good he really was. The only films existing of Greb are some training footage, showing a terrible performance of Greb. Greb for example hits the speed ball much slower than Robinson, Manny Pacquaio, Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Leonard and many other speed fighters of the newer era. He is also slower in his movements than his sparring partner, who is older and heavier than he is. All we can imagine about him is based on his record (only 117 fights of him are known and recorded as official matches) and what other boxers of his era said of him. But when you compare his official record with the one of Robinson, also here he makes a poor impression. Greb lost his third official fight against an unfamous boxer called Joe Chip, Robinson losing in his 41st match against the great Jake LaMotta (also one of the greatest pound for pound boxers in the middleweight class). Greb losing again in his 7th match to a no-name fighter, Robinson however did not lose again until his 132th match, second time against a famous middleweight boxer (Randy Turpin). Robinson defeated every great middleweight boxer of his era. Harry Greb boxed almost only against unfamous fighters. The only famous fighters of his time he faced were: Gene Tunney (winning two times out of three against Greb), Kid Norfolk (winning his only match against Greb), Mickey Walker (Greb's greatest success against one of the greatest middleweight fighters) and Tiger Flowers (winning both of his fights against Greb). All other fighters Greb faced were unfamous. Greb maybe won against a Gene Tunney once, who was heavyweight boxer and so much slower than Greb, plus Tunney was never a great fighter. Maybe Tunney was undefeated at his retirement, but he won only against Jack Dempsey(his only good enemy in the ring), cause of "The Long Count". All that lasts is the fight against Walker. Robinson fought against tons of famous fighters of his era. Everything that makes Greb a great boxer is his legend, created because Jack Dempsey(his sparring partner, who was defeated by Greb during sparring) and Gene Tunney said how great he was. Of course they couldn't say that Greb wasn't that fighter everyone thought, otherwise how awful would Dempsey and Tunney would have looked, defeated by a medium middleweight boxer and both of them as heavyweight boxers. Robinson is proved the greatest pound for pound, Greb however is just a legend like Bigfoot, Nessie or Yeti. Maybe he was a good boxer, but nowhere on the level of Sugar Ray Robinson.

This is a catch phrase from State of India Banking (Canada). The implication is that it is simple and uncomplicated.

depends on whos punchin

"Undisputed" means you hold all of the 4 major sanctioning bodies titles at the same time (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO). "Linear" means that you hold beat the champion who was last undisputed, but had titles taken away from sanctioning bodies for not paying the fee to the sanctioning body or not facing their determined #1 contender. "Interim" refers to someone who wins a title without beating the current champion. this happens when a champion is injured and cannot defend his title for a long period of time, and is then stripped of his belt.

He is the hevy weight champion and johnathan nelson is ugly

possibly as a youth he had some minor scraps with the authorities. not sure. he was a very hardened individual in his younger days. As an adult, absolutely nothing there.

In boxing (and most martial arts), a jab is performed by sticking out the leading fist with the muscles of the arm and shoulder. A hook, by contrast, uses all of these muscles, plus many more in the core and even the legs to twist the body and drive the punch to its target. Thus, because the hook uses more muscles, it tends to be more powerful.

he won the gold medal at the Olympics was the fighter of the won 6 Kentucky golden gloves and 2 national golden gloves.

1964, but didn't go public until after he won the title from sonny liston, because Elijah Muhammad would not want to know clay (as he was then) if liston knocked him out.

it was only after he beat liston that Elijah embraced him like Malcolm x already had.
