Kory Kitchen is back at Bad Left Hook today for part one of what will be a three-part series. In part one, Kory looks back at the 2001 year-end pound-for-pound top ten from RING Magazine.
One of the constant remarks heard within boxing circles is "they don't make ‘em like they used to". Typically, this may be the old crotchety guy down the street that claims to have seen Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, and Willie Pep perform their trade when they were in their respective primes. You know the type. The kind of guy that tells anyone who will listen that Marciano would have walked right through the Klitschko brothers like Patton through Africa. If Beau Jack were around today he would whip Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao on the same night. Then he would knock out Floyd Mayweather on the next night. That kind of guy.
