Francis Ngannou & Fast Tracked Heavyweights 2:10:19

2M ago2:10:19

2:10:19

At one point, the heavyweight championship was the most-coveted title in mainstream sports.

Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana I & II Revisited 1:59:29

2M ago1:59:29

1:59:29

Floyd Mayweather is one of the biggest boxing stars of all time, so naturally there will be more scrutiny of his career than others. It may be somewhat unfair, but it also makes sense.

1:29:31

Some sets of fighters, like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Márquez for instance, match up like puzzle pieces.

Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Recap 1:07:11

2M ago1:07:11

1:07:11

We all thought Tyson Fury would probably outbox Francis Ngannou with ease. It was only logical. But then Tyson Fury had to go ahead an underestimate the UFC's lineal (but deposed) heavyweight champion. It doesn't even matter that Tyson Fury won. Francis Ngannou's moment was huge enough and unexpected enough that it basically counted as win. And on …

1:29:00

It's said fighters often feel some kind of bond after a grueling fight, and fighters who go to war together are forever linked. Some fights, like Robert Quiroga vs Akeem Anifowoshe, 1991's "Fight of the Year," epitomize the idea that once two fighters lock horns and give pieces of themselves in a fight, nothing is ever the same afterward.Robert Qui…
