    Because some suggest that a top all time puncher who stands 4.5 inches taller ,with 10 inches more reach ,and 40 odd pounds more muscle beats Rocky some get all butt hurt.It's baffling !

    Not sure there is a man above 190 who couldn’t beat that midget armed club fighter. Not even sure how his trex arms managed to strike an opponent just ask the bum ted Lowry whom threw a fight for the mafia controlled chinless bum

    The Mafia was way to strong back in the old bygone primitive days. Getting 49 fighters in a row to take a dive would be nearly impossible to do today.

    I think Joe Louis is next to be confined to the "BUM" shelf by the members of this forum.
    Shall we just also all agree that JOE LOUIS WAS A BUM here and now ?

    Great thread. How on earth would Marciano deal with the sheer physicality that JIMMY SMITH would bring at 198lb??? He couldn't!!! Simple as that:

    ,
    Some would say LESS than a bum. Jermaine Jackson would crack thay glass jaw much less Jermaine Taylor. Jphn Ruiz would not even have him as a sparring partner.

    "Love It"...the "legend" of Jimmy Smith!!! Smith also walks thru Toledo Dempsey of 1919...and Joe Louis of the second Schmeling fight from 1938 as well!!!
