    Man way to make this something weird. I'm just doing a simple assreading, a technique widely used by my people since at least 1962. But it's like my uncle says, the rest of us who have been in the future of the day of the world of people who are not the intended recipient of this communication is not a problem with that of the most important thing, but the fact that you are looking at the end of this year and the left hand to be the first place for a long term care is ads j Ojibwa of you.

    I just pray that your last post is an intended, awkward good Little Red. And you fully realize that your message was at best somewhere between nonsense & unintelligible.

    However, maybe you hope to go viral in this High Style.

    The point of this thread is to beat us over the head with "this 220 pound fighter can beat 185 pound fighter". We get it?

    So, if Deontay were born in 1930 he would now be considered an All Time Great? And if Rocky were born in 1985 we would have never heard of him?

    Had he been born in 1985, his boxing career likely wouldn't have started until sometime circa 2005. Given that so few Italian Americans were participating in boxing by that point, my answer would be no.. Not likely. Furthermore, with the hiking up in weight for a modern day heavyweight and the size of a lot of these guys, its doubtful that he'd be a heavyweight. Even if he weighed 20 lbs more, that's still only 205. An Italian American cruiser weight in the 2000's era is an obscurity to say the least, so my answer is no.. We probably wouldn't have heard of him.

    Because he started late back then does not mean he would if he was born in the 80's.

    He had to serve in the Army back then when he was younger.

    Rocky around today would annihilate everybody in front of him and would be a global superstar.

    Sort of like an unbeatable Gatti.

    Hence why I stated the possibility of him turning pro circa 2005, making him approximately 20 years old, rather than the actual 24 years of age that he DID turn pro.

    Yawn...

    We get it. There is an element here that will never get it. I am actually suprized that guy on a boxer forum, whom I assume have some form of experience with fighting are soooooooooooo daunted by size. Really, I have always had to fight guys bigger than me in the street and I survived and most of the time I won. I fought a guy who outweighed me by at least 60 pound and we went toe to toe and I was getting the better of it.

    Because I was faster and quicker and I had the heart to fight him.

    HEART! It counts for something. Guys like Maricano, Graziano, Robinson, Dempsey, would fight you no matter how big you were. No matter how tough you were. It was all about heart. I know this is falling on deaf ears.

    I think sometimes we forget that the guy with most skill does not always win. The guy with the most weigh does not always win. It is the guy who is the hungriest, meanest, dirtest bum from his block. That is Tyson, Dempsey, Liston, Maricano, Louis, Johnson, Frazier....

    Tell me..who between Maricano a (WWII Vet, blue-collar) versus a guy who was a kinda knuckle head.

    I am just saying, I am never going to be on board with whole idea that you can throw in some guy with a shinny little record and a weigh advantage and tell me that is all he need to beat a guy who is proven tough.

    OK i get that Marciano fought everyone. But Robinson missed out on 90% of murderers row, Dempsey ducked Harry Wills, and Graziano avoided fighting tons of guys. That's not a good list for illustration.

    If he does, then he has done nothing to prove it yet.

    At this stage we would be justified in favouring Burns.

    I wonder why the people who pick a glass-jawed basketball player to beat Marciano can't speak decent English.:think

    Quit nit-picking pieces of posts to say something out of context ok?
