    Let’s say that we matched Jack Dempsey against Wladamir Klitschko.

    That would put a lot of people’s assumptions on trial, on both sides of the argument.

    That could get interesting!

    You would " honestly " consider putting the 5' 6", 67" reach Paciow in with the 5' 11" 73" reach ( and arguably the greatest fighter who ever lived ) Robinson?

    Fukin hell, and I thought I was nuts!!!

    I would give Manny less than a round ( and you can pick ANY version of Pac you like, from the day he turned pro up until the present ) to end up exactly the way he did in Marquez 4, the only difference being Ray could do it with just one shot from either hand.
