    Please. I know u never been in a ring. Some of your views are quite humorous. Know nothing about boxing you just churn out the same rugurgitated crap everyone says to make it look like you are knowledgable. I'm not saying Conn is definately no. 1 just trying to spark a debate if he could be rated that high. If people like you looked at things from different angles u might learn a thing or 2.

    He lost the fight. How could it be the single greatest performance?

    I think it would be more of a debate if it was a question of rating Conn as the #1 LHW...

    One would certainly be able to make more of a case for that argument than p4p...

    Even if that was the argument/question, he still falls short at LHW. Conn isn't in most people's top 5 LHW, so how could he be considered as a top p4p'er?

    Which views are humorous friend?

    If you wanna spark debate, don't pick such a shitty topic.

    Actually the OP makes a good point, thinking about it Don Curry looked to be a Welterweight on par with Sugar Ray Robinson at times and Lloyd Honeyghan just came in and completely dominated him. I mean has there ever been a better performance that that? I'm moving Lloyd to my P4P no1 of all time

    To be fair if you have been in a ring you really should have learnt some rudimentary defensive skills first, so you know didn't get completely brain damaged and post **** posts like these
