    Wow Baer would be champ because... he threw wild swings with his chin in the air. Bravo.

    Then again, Deontay Wilder...

    I used to be a regular in there years back. Was in there three weeks ago, Jimmy has to be 85 now but seems pretty good for his age.

    My photo is pretty small, in the early 90s when I was young and good looking some guy created a panoramic poster for sale in Europe of a "typical" NY bar scene. They shot it in Jimmy's, with me next to some chick at the epicenter of the poster, and sent Jimmy a copy. I always tell people I am to the left of Ali just under Floyd Patterson!

    Yes, this is a years old thread. I am not going back on my word though. At the time I said a blow out win should not be a major contribution to the winning fighters true worth as in his best win should never be a blow out where the other guy never got a chance to get started. I include Joe Louis, Ali and Marciano in this. Their oneway traffic blow outs over Schmeling, Liston and Walcott should not go down as their best wins. They are not lucky. They are still demonstrations of dominance of course but it is these wins together with longer more competitive bouts that shows their true measure.


    A true blow out is a one way thing. Morrison was knocked out in a competitive round though. He was blown out all the same but it was not such a white wash. He was found out at that level because Bentt felt his best and Morrison felt bentts best shot. It’s not like Tommy never got going. He got going first. Bentt had ten fights. He was a novice. Watch the fight.

    Are you the selfsame Entowed from Aj's forum? I ask only because I'm curious. I wish you no ill will, and from what I've seen it looks like you were the victim of a bizarre witch hunt there, and seemed to defend yourself rather ably.

    I didn't look at the date so my observation might be unfounded.

    I am Sting like a bean, & thank you.

    What happened there over several years was basically clinically insane.
    I am quite liberal, done some activism, but on the slightest no-nothing pretense that seemed a parody of political correctness was labeled a racist, white supremacist, then a pedophile on more nonsensical speculation. Even allegedly investigated & cleared, & exascerbating things for a long while was a kid who hacked my account & posted hateful vitriol in my name.
    Others ran with his hacked, mocking statements & photos, & more recently AJ said THEY were hacked-as were my fb messenger conversations-to condemn me.
    The kid was recently arrested, robbed companies, cleaned out bank accounts, allegendly caused a suicide & his family writing me implying they want to murder him...

    You just lurked there, or posted too?
