Research me? Just a bit.Peterson was a professional dive artist, does that fact make it okay that he went into the tank for Primo?Because he had done it many times previously? That's a logic that escapes me.

 

Research me? Just a bit.How many times did these guys have their purses withheld and licences withdrawn.Apart from against Carnera, name ONE OTHER?

 

That's right, I'm just getting into it.

 

That would be kind of you.I need someone to guide me through the trespasses and pit falls of pugilism. Old Satchel feet was a one time Fascist booster, photographed in full black shirt uniform,and later a vociferous denouncer of Benito and his reign.So an activist , a pragmatist, an opportunist and, in his last years ,an apologist.All things to all men.

 

Now you get it young fella, I hope General more up to your speed. :}

 

McVey is older than the late Captain Tom Moore.

 

I already know that, me and Mac have a weird relationship.

 

Thanks for the recommendation,and the introduction.

 

A little younger, Joe Louis was champ when I was hatched.The Manassa Mauler ruled the roost when the Captain first saw the light of day.

 

Mac we should watch a boxing match together sometime and trade cards.
round by round.

 

Carnera was certainly a very good fighter. Limited and not great, but very good and the footage we have proves that he wasn't as bad as a lot of people try to make him look.

 

71 ko's in 88 wins, yet his opponent said he couldnt punch his weight and he is never listed in any big punchers list.Strange.

 

Actually, watch the intro to the Ali-Shavers fight. He's listed.

 

Ezzard Charles was champ when I was sprung, fully formed, out of the loins of Zeus.
