Boxing's Greatest Fighters by Bert Randolph Sugar Pdf

Easily the most enduring of all sports questions is "Who was/is the best . . . ?" Perhaps in no sport is the question more asked and argued over than in boxing. And in boxing perhaps none is more qualified to answer the question than Bert Randolph Sugar. In Boxing's Greatest Fighters, not only does the former publisher of Ring Magazine tell us who the best fighters were, he lists them in order. Could Sugar Ray Robinson have beaten Muhammad Ali? Could Sugar Ray Leonard have beaten Sonny Liston? The answer, most experts agree, would be "no." But what if, as Bert Sugar has done here, one were to take all the boxers and reduce them in the mind's eye to the same height, the same weight, and the same ring conditions? The answers would be quite different. And while some fans may express outrage that Rocky Marciano barely makes the top twenty, and Marvin Hagler staggers into the top seventy-five, others will nod eagerly when they read that Harry Greb and Benny Leonard were better than just about anybody. So whether you read Boxing's Greatest Fighters cover to cover, pick your favorites at random, or simply browse through the many rare photographs, "at the bell, come out arguing."

Introduction to Jon Jones by Gilad James, PhD Pdf

Jon Jones is without a doubt one of the greatest mixed martial artists in the history of the sport. Born in Rochester, New York in 1987, Jones started training in martial arts from a young age due to his mother being a professional instructor. He began his professional MMA career in 2008, where he quickly made a name for himself with his unorthodox fighting style and versatility. Jones eventually signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2009 and went on to dominate the light heavyweight division for nearly a decade until his numerous legal troubles and drug test failures eventually caused him to relinquish his title. Despite his controversies outside of the octagon, Jon Jones' achievements inside it are undeniable. Jones has a professional record of 26 wins, 1 loss, and 1 no contest, with victories over some of the biggest names in MMA, such as Daniel Cormier, Alexander Gustafsson, and Mauricio Rua. He is a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and has defended his title a record 8 times. Jones is also known for his athletic ability, having set multiple records for takedowns, strikes landed, and submission attempts in UFC history. He is considered by many as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of all time and has inspired a generation of MMA athletes with his incredible performances.
