    So Jack Dempsey vs George Foreman is an unreasonable thread? Two ATG heavyweights?

    Jeffries vs Dempsey is unreasonable? Again two ATG heavyweights


    It seems to me you’re just upset because I believe Jack Dempsey had a historically weak title reign and ducked Harry Wills and Harry Greb

    Are you guys reading your posts? You're arguing about if you hate certain boxers. There's a point where your best just to kill an argument.

    I don't know that he hates Dempsey.

    Thus, you are incorrect.

    Not true. Re read my posts about Dempsey. I criticize him about his poor choice of opposition and ducking wills and Greb. I give Dempsey his dues as a great puncher.

    You already exposed yourself as being wrong and a poster called you out on it, so I’ll leave it at that.

    So only Dempsey fans can be unbiased about Dempsey? Seamus is a well respected long time poster here. His word has merit.

    Since you have nothing to say, we both agree on different power levels for weightclasses, or does Barbados have equal power to Rocky too?

    Not equal to Marciano, but ridiculous power for a welterweight.

    Jack Johnson who served as Walcott's sparring partner, said that he was one of the hardest punchers that he ever faced!

    Maybe you fix that for him. Perhaps by http://www.calculator.net/bmi-calculator.html for some hobbit "tanks" he´s usually partying on gameboy.

    Good you agreed with me for higher weight classes holding more power. Glad we could overcome that dogma.

    Marciano knocked out two of Layne's teeth.Thats it .
    Name one fighter whose ribs he broke?
    You want testimony? Okay!
    Moore said Sheppard and Durelle hit hit harder than Marciano did. Cockell said he was hit harder by other opponents ,but not so consistently.Is their testimony false?

    Moore is on record stating Rocky hit harder then anyone he faced. So is Luis (who faced some heavy hitters and shw), Walcott, Charles, and everyone else he fought. The hate towards this great champion post retirement is like none I’ve seen for any fighter including Ali. To say a man that sent others into a comas, broke people’s arms, and sent teeth into the front rows on numerous occasions doesn’t have power is either separated from reality or a racist dope...maybe both. Marciano by the way had little problem with his bigger opponents often knocking them out quickly. Ridiculous
