1980s Heavyweight Boxing Special - Part 2

Today, we are taking another break from talking movies!

With my book, Heavyweight Title Fights of the 1980s, now available for pre-order, I decided to go deep on some of the heavyweights from that era.

In this, the second part of this little mini-series, Charles Farrell joins me again to discuss some more of the top heavyweights from that decade. Last time out we discussed Charles' top five heavyweights from the 80s, excluding Tyson and Holmes. There were some good fighters that could have easily made that list, so today we are going to take a look at those guys; their strengths and their weaknesses.

Who do you think should be up for discussion and is there anyone you think we have missed?

Charles' fascinating and entertaining memoir is available here and you can now pre-order his book on Mitch "Blood" Green from Amazon

1980s Heavyweight Boxing Special - Part 1

Today, we are not talking movies!

With my book, Heavyweight Title Fights of the 1980s, now available for pre-order, I decided to go deep on some of the heavyweights from that era.

In this special episode, I asked writer and pianist, Charles Farrell, to pick his top 5 heavyweights from the 80s, excluding Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson. Charles managed several fighters back in those days, so he has a wealth of personal knowledge.

His fascinating and entertaining memoir is available here and you can now pre-order his book on Mitch "Blood" Green from Amazon
