    He would have schooled Loughran.

    He was good enough to portray Max Schmeling in a film so probably an ATG!

    Now is the time to correct the injustices of the past.

    The apotheosis of European boxing Maske dominated Leslie Stewart, Williams, Iran Barkley,Rocchiagianni, Duran, and Virgil Hill. Only one loss avenged. Calzaghe plus.

    You're kidding right? Henry Maske is a nailed-on ATG. Top #20 or so for me. I've seen him as high as #10, but maybe that's pushing it a little.
    On the other hand, outside top #30 sells him short...

    In his prime I'd say he was better than Sloppy Joe.

    His performance against Charles Williams is better than Joe's performacne over Lacy.

    Every Ali has his Frazier (or Norton?)... Henry's performances against Graciano were nothing short of spectacular... they were in a word, Maske-nificient.
