    Guys, this is what he does. He takes an informative thread and then proceeds to come up with the most inane, outlandish statements which starts a 'WTF are you smoking' - type of response. Believe me, he's a wind-up artist. Nobody could actually be that dumb. And that sums up Ra's Al-Ghul or Captain Chaos if you prefer.

    You are a poster who believes Lazslo Papp is the the 5th greatest middleweight of all time.
    This alone disqualifies you from having any semblance of credibility when it comes to evaluating individual fighters merits!

    On The Folley v Mildenberger fight this is what I posted.

    "Veteran Zora Folley gave young Karl Mildenberger a boxing lesson Friday night but the judges evened it up and called it a draw - a verdict that stunned most of the 12,000 fans that jammed the Messehalle here to watch the two highly ranked heavyweights in what was billed as an elimination match. Folley carved out cuts under Mildenberger's eyes and repeatedly scored with solid left jabs and straight right hands over the southpaw efforts of the German challenger. By the end of the 7th round Mildenberger had cuts under both eyes while Folley bled from the nose as a result of Mildenberger's left. Referee Otto Nispel took it upon himself to stop the fight time and again to warn Folley on butting and in the 8th round Nispel stopped the fight while he took Mildenberger to his corner and wiped the blood off his face so a doctor could come to the ringside and examine the cuts. Mildenberger, although clearly outclassed, never stopped trying and absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment from the American. He was still trying gamely in the 9th and 10th while Folley was content to coast and that was all the judges seemingly needed." -European Stars & Stripes

    • Unofficial Stars & Stripes scorecard - 7-2-1 Folley
    • The UPI reported that Folley, "appeared to have the upper hand against his 26 year old opponent." While the AP reported that Folley, "appeared to have piled up a good margin. He gave the German a battering in the 7th and 8th rounds."

    Post fight comments

    • "When the referee stopped the fight to examine the cuts, that gave Mildenberger time to recuperate." -Bill Swift, Folley's manager, claiming that Folley had hurt Mildenberger with a flurry of hard shots to the head just before the referee intervened.
    Klompton said he has the fight and in his opinion Folley was not robbed [it was ruled a draw] Germany was well known for bias against overseas fighters and a draw usually meant you won the fight but didn't get the decision .
    I then said I haven't seen the fight but will accept his opinion since he has.
    You bring this up about once a week so I thought I would just show this. NB I dont need to try and make a fool of you.
    You're doing a great job of it all on your own!!! LOL

    So the AP and the UPI must have also been 'in on it' as well, right? Since they too felt Folley was robbed.

    I wouldn't know one way or another about him. I'm saying there are at least 3 wire services out there that said Folley deserved the decision. Can you produce any report to the contrary?
