    I read a thread asking if Roy could have beat Max and I feel if Max could beat Louis then he would have destroyed Jones, am I being over simplistic? So could Jones have done well vs the Louis that lost to Max?

    He could maybe do as well as Schmeling in the second bout.

    Mark Ant, I enjoy some of your threads. But sometimes I feel that you don't need to always start new ones. You could just add to the discussion on the previous thread.
    I'm sorry if my comment appears rude. It's certainly not my intention. It's just that recently, your constant threads are overtaking the front page. It doesn't leave room for others.
    Again, I apologize if it's bad manners. Thanks :)

    Roy destroys Louis, smdh. Who the hell has Louis beaten? Bill Conn, Max Bear, Peter Carnera WHO aghhh... doesnt even compare to Roy. Even Thomas Tate would have kilt Louis...

    Roy = ATG with superflous abilities and member of Body Head Bangerz
    Louis = ...huh? Is he even in a band

    What's the betting your polite request for him to STFU gets ignored?

    I would agree only noteing Schmeling was far better at heavyweight than Jones.

    So if you already think you know the answer and most people think similar, and it was already in another thread to discuss why do we need a separate thread devoted to something in a parallel thread?

    No I don’t think he would beat Louis like Schmeling did....no I do not think he could win...I do think if he fough conservative he could potentially go the distance, but more than likely Louis catches him and stops him at some point

    Oh someone complained when I added an extra question in the text box adding to the original question, so I didn`t put the Carnera question alongside the Louis question and the whole thing was aimed at a few fans who have underestimated Schmeling and overrated Roy at heavy, but also overrated Carnera too.

    You have better eyes than me! I have been here for 10+ years and few if any overrate Carnera and only the truest of modern is better vastly underrate Schmeling? But whatever floats your boat bro! Have a great day

    Who overrated Roy at HW? I am not as high as some are on him...but you seem his largest detractor, by quite some margin....and I don’t even like him. But most don’t rate him at HW at all let alone overrate, outside of,...ah nevrrmind
