    Two memorable nicknames and one prosaic surname. 15 rounds. How does it go?

    While Gunboat was a hell of a good one, he was, all in all, a gatekeeper. Bonecrusher was a legitimate contender and a great hard puncher. I reckon we get a few rounds of good back and forth action before Bonecrusher flattens him

    Gunboat by KO. Love this guys history. And he was very smart. Annormally. One of the top ten fighters in history I would love a biography of. Bonecrusher was boring and very lucky to ko a ****ed up Tim who had schooled him before.
    We need more Gunboat pictures. I wish I could have another kid just to name him Gunboat.

    GunBoat was floored by Carpentier. ko'd by Harry Greb , and beaten 3 times by 5'7"170lbs Jack Dillon.

    I think that answers the question.

    Is there a forum just for pure fairy tale fantasy? Mod: if so, please move this.

    Bonecrusher by KO. Early.
