    Joe Louis, 1st place, 25 title defenses, fought the best of his era, did not snivel over more money, like today. Very class act, served our great nation during World War 2. Smokin Joe Frazier, 2nd place, A World Heavyweight Champion, fought with courage and heart. 3rd place Classy champion Jersey Joe Walcott, gave Marciano one tough fight, 1st fight.

    As great as Joe Louis was (who I have number two of all time at heavyweight) pound for pound it’s probably Gans.

    Joe Pesci should be higher. I’ll never forget what I saw him do to a guy who told him to go get his ****in shine box. (Brutal) He also thoroughly dominated Salvi da Copa. I think too many people downgrade him because of his career ending knockout at the hands of Jake Lamotta.

    Well he did slap Monroe in the face after a photographer took that pic when her skirrt blew up as a promo for the seven year itch, a couple of her pubes were visible so Joe or whoever was married to her at the time gave her a slap, so she ****ed off and never came back!

    That’s a lie. I have studied and examined extensively that picture and film still of Marilyn with her skirt being lifted up and I’ve never managed to see any unkempt bikini line being shown.

    It was an individual photographer that took his own pic and it must have been up close or something, this is what I read and her reflexes weren`t as good as Mayweather`s in my opinion.
