    So you voted for Carnera even though you know that he's not as good a fighter as Riddick Bowe?

    To be fair, that amounts to being one of the best arguments for having done so...

    Perhaps, but we are shifting the argument in Carnera's direction, and we will continue to shift it.

    Make no mistake, we are going to blow the Carnera debate wide open!

    What you, Choklab, and Reznik have done is blow your own credibility wide open! Never to be taken seriously again!

    The argument is long over really. It has been for ages.

    Your position can’t be that strong if you need to engage in these bully boy tactics, and ostentations displays of congratulating each other on the strength of your arguments.

    These are not signs of strength in a debate.

    Far from it in fact!

    I've posted Carnera' s first32 fight stat's .
    I've posted verified quotes from Gains Sharkey,Louis ,and Loughran.
    Iv'e posted primary sourced reports of some of his fights .
    Iv'e just posted one of the greatest of American boxing writers Dave Anderson's take on his career.
    My position and that of those of us who are in agreement on the subject is impregnable.

    You yourself have posted NOTHING.
    These are signs of abject failure!

    Staunch Labour supporters, the lot of them.
    It's the only explanation.

    No matter how much evidence is provided or how many disagree with them, they are simply too stubborn to change their viewpoint.
    86.6%.....!

    All of which leaves the position very ambiguous.
