    Would you care to name the rogue?

    Why does being realistic equate to "hatred"?

    Anyone who watches footage of him and believes he could compete in the modern ring at heavyweight is hopelessly delusional.

    Surprised at you George. In the old days, when thumbs on gloves weren't attached, detached retinas and blind Fighters were distressingly common.

    No. He was a deadly serious fighter.

    Perhaps David Tua would have lost to these men as well. You can't say that he wouldn't.

    Actually, yes. Or we could play this game all day long. As in, you can't prove that Cassius Clay would beat Josh Cobb. Because they never actually met. Well, yeah, I can tell that Clay would beat Cobb like a redheaded stepchild and I would be right.

    You are arguing like a 5 year old.

    Galento was a skilled hard hitter. Just as much as Tua. I know you don't want it to be true but it is.

    Because you're not being realistic. You are purposely maligning and sullying the name of this once great contender. It's almost the equivalent of libel.
