    Willard was knocked out by Firpo and massacred Dempsey. He was able to be knocked out. Willard couldn't have had the strength of 10 men because one man (Dempsey) was able to push him back.

    There is no record of Jess Willard running up mountains with logs tied to his back. Therefore it didn't happen.

    Just bc you say it didn't happen doesn't mean it didn't..PROVE it?

    Dempsey had the strength of 11 men so its absolutely possible.

    Firpo was a beast and defeats Lewis or are you switching stances now?

    You said Firpo was better than Lewis when being backed into a corner of how Dempsey would fare against Lewis?That's what you resorted too. And that's what your logic usually looks like.

    I don't have to prove anything,just like you don't when you use the PROVE it angle do I ? :nonono:nonono:nonono

    I never said that. Are you asking me or telling me?

    Yes you do have to prove it. If you make claims that a fighter did something then you have to have proof. You can say fighter A beats fighter B all you want without proof but if you make claims that something actually too place historically then you need to provide proof. That's how this works.

    I don't have to prove it BC you don't prove half the bonker posts or claims you do so I don't either.I can claim anything like you right? Tell me how you proved Lewis would be more effective 5 inches shorter after you told me too PROVE he wouldn't be? :elefant:

    But thats what you do best reiterate the PROVE it too other ppl and ask them to prove idiotic angles and points one can only prove with common sense...:love2:

    You don't want to remember the Firpo comment BC that's the position you find yourself on here more than not.Hopefully for your sake I won't get too bored and actually collect all your remarks on here....:lupie:

    I have never once claimed a historical even took place without providing proof.

    I never said to prove he wouldn't be. Do you have the quote?

    Do you have the actual quote?

    He's trolling you. He doesn't really think Willard beats Lewis.

    Willard looks underrated... I don't know why, considering -in his prime- he had great stamina he knocked out
    Jack johnson in the 26. round. Lewis never had 12+ round fight and against Tucker or Klitschko Lewis' stamina
    was questionable. I go with Willard by a 40. round ko (devastating right hand).

    The thing is he did say Firpo is a better fighter than Lewis.Every time he questions my posts he is basically questioning his own BC he doesn't even troll .He actually believes his own posts.

    The bad thing for Willard is that to win a 40 round fight, he needs to survive the first 3 rounds, which he wouldn't.
