    I have been watching this forum for the past 3 moths, and have noticed there are 10 Great boxers who consistently get placed in H2H's....at first I didn't/couldn't appreciate their greatness. But now after months of reading I have been converted. How do these 10 ATG boxers fare in a H2H round Robin....who is truly the greatest of the great!

    James J. Braddock
    Max Baer
    Primo Carnera
    Rex Layne
    Don Coc kell
    Cleveland Williams
    Ernie Shavers
    Ron Lyle
    David Tua
    Ike Ibeabuchi

    So who emerges as The Goat among GOATS?

    Which ever one did best against an ATG that they fought.

    I'll probably **** a few people off in saying I think Braddock would beat Shavers.

    I probably wouldn’t, but it’s not a stretch either way imo

    In seriousness, which obviosuly isn't the point of this thread, I think Baer was the best of the bunch, but Ibeabuchi would probably end up with the best record of the round robin, while Baer loses several he should win.

    Braddock would have to be harder to hit than Larry to win though.

    I think Baer may have been too thin to take on a beefcake like Ike.

    Personally I would take beefcake to beat Baer in a scripted wrestling match....but this post seems more appropriate for the mma forum

    But since you asked

    I used to love me a bit of Brutus 'the barber' back in the early 90`s when I was a teenager.

    Side note: not serious? I see multiple threads on these guys each week when the agenda of them is limited to the same old diatribe about modern vs Past.

    The only agenda I had was evaluating the other agenda lol, and I was semi serious in my endeavor to do so in a lighthearted manner. Oh well
