    Meh, Dempsey and Louis had the same characteristic.

    This thread should go down in history as the biggest waste of time ever. FACT. Garfield got half way through the fapping and thought 'I've got to come up with something' and this was the best he could do. Honestly.

    I didn't say Rocky was the only one, S, but it was -- and is -- damn rare.

    Now that I think about it, watch Louis's first bout with Schmeling. As valiant as Joe was, after eating a steady diet of Schmeling rights, there was less 'n less zip on his punches as the rounds went by.

    Why, G? It made Rocky specially dangerous. What'd you expect, a cure for cancer?

    Answer me this,BFP, did you know that? Did you realize that unique ability made Rocky 'specially dangerous? Or would his use of a hidden machine gun been the only way to satisfy you?

    But they were flash KD's, S, not the sustained Schmeling smackdown.

    You seem to be in the minority so far, SQ, but I appreciate it.
