Here you go changing the subject again, do you retract your laughable claim that Williams was knocked out (not decisioned or given a tough test) by a fringe oppenent or not?
Having thought about it, Bob was perhaps better than fringe at the time. He was still dangerous. Bobs stock was low at that point but it later improved. Sylvester Jones was beaten in a rematch but never good in the first place. Liston was still climbing the ranks in the 1950s but was clearly emerging as a great fighter. overall I guess I can retract the statement that Williams was knocked out by fringe guys and replace it with “Williams was never more than a fringe guy himself in the 1950s”.
Yes. Book called boxing by the numbers has him rated well because of his record. The author was shocked by his placement as well but once you read it it makes sense
Good book. You asked for a source don’t get mad at it lol. Especially a book dealing with numbers...numbers don’t lie.
Although I am disappointed to hear this, I am rather unsurprised you feel that way. It is unfortunate that The logical response for some people is to be hostile toward the truth. When the healthy response should always be that there is no shame in losing the argument and winning the truth.
How so? You know there is nothing dishonest about having a differing opinion don’t you? By the way, I am back from one of those sabbaticals (my first) that you have frequently endured. Have I missed anything?
So many posters accuse you of dishonesty in the way you construct and frame your arguments , are they all wrong? I'e been banned twice,once for overiding the censor*,which I was unaware was not allowed,and once for making a post which as it was put to me,"was likely to inflame racist comments".Twice in 14 years. Is that what you call frequently?
I have explicitly explained myself coherently on every single time I have been bogusly accused of this....and never, not once,( not even partially) has anyone ever disagreed with that explanation or ever came back sufficiently to support their bogus claim of dishonesty. It has been proved time and time again that it is not so. I have not lied. Are they all wrong? They have never disagreed with my explanation! So let’s put an end to this ridiculous tactic. It is not, and nor has it ever been dishonest to have a different opinion. I do not dislike anyone who disagrees with me. If they cannot respond or disagree with an explanation it is not dishonesty.
lol I don’t why they jump on you for dishonesty? Heaven forbid your off by half an inch on height in an argument where that has nothing to do with anything and they kill you. Semantics really. No one knows everything and occasionally we are all going to be wrong. It’s funny because I happen to agree about 95 percent of the time on other boxing things but Marciano brings out the worst in people (certainly not the mans fault)
Yeah, it is totally made up. But at least now the whole thing has been exposed as a phoney tactic to shut me down.
