    If Biggs is transported back in time, Seamus's color line comes into play. If Dempsey is of our time, he defeats Biggs. This one is not complicated for me.

    Biggs did not know how to fight. Very one sided bout. Man vs boy.

    He did know how to fight. His problem was he faced a hungry, prime, pissed off Mike Tyson. He was wrecked and was never the same, as a few other Tyson victim s never were again.

    Wrong. That only happens to Marciano opponents.

    Actually Biggs did not know how to fight. Flicking a jab and trying to range fight does not equate to fighting ability. The ability to fight is much more than this.

    I would love to see a match pitting Tyrell Biggs against Perry.

    Biggs would beat the **** out all the poster boys here.... he was not as well suited for the pros as the amateurs but he displayed heart and grit in his career.. he did not carry a strong enough punch in my opinion.. always wish him the best... he won a gold medal for the US... that's aa great accomplishment to me...
