Just How Good Was Tony Zale?

True, but I wouldn't want to cross him.

 

Unforgiven your jokes are funny but answer me this Why are several members of the black murderers row rated in the top 10 middleweights of all time while Zale typically doesn't make any top 25 lists?

 

Top Ten ? By Who ???.... those lists are a bloody joke, I would maybe have one there..... only a maybe. Why don't you start a religion and have them as your gods

 

LOL..... there was also, Creamy Greb, Diluted Darcy, Uncoloured Ketchel, Fair Mike Gibbons and Bleached Jeff Smith.

I also am a fan of the Asian Murderers Row on the little guy section which stars Yellow Guts Ishimatsu, Japanese Fighting Harada etc

 

Mc. I take care of the jokes...atschatschatsch

 

actually I reckon its a great shame Tony started boxing, he was just so handsome he should have been a Hollywood star and made a career being the romantic lead. Maybe that's why SuzieQ is so upset........................... a secret crush ?

 

Ezzard Charles and Charley Burley are top 10 all time. Holman Williams has a strong case for top 10 all time. Archie Moore, Lloyd Marshall are top 20 all time. Eddie Booker arguably top 20 all time.

I could name 25-30 middleweights greater than Tony Zale

 

Several ? Really ? In the top 10 ?
I don't know, I haven't written or seen the lists. You should ask someone else.

If Zale doesn't make any top 25 lists why have you been whining about him being overrated ?

 

Count Basie originated "Ebony & Ivory " as solo.

 

I think he was a Damn good tough as hell fighter who would have given any aggressive champion all they could handle.
