    So it's been awhile since I did the list, I remember Johnny Bratton is my #1. I don't remember how numbers 3 through 10 went, but I remember having Jerry Quarry, Zora Folley, Eddie Machen, Ezzard Charles, and Tony Canzoneri all in the 3 through 10 slots. The others I
    don't remember at the moment.

    Nope, I know my summary does not do him justice. Sure wish you could spell though bro.

    Excellent points ironchamp. I can't agree that Fights 1 & 2 are nearly the same though. There's little to judge from, but Fight 1 is pretty boring off the three rounds provided, but Fight 2 is pretty thrilling to watch actually.

    You said about four or five times, "summarise", rather than "summarize".

    He was also managed by an organized crime figure, Felix Bocchicchio, which probably had a lot to do with Joe’s career being given some ‘favors.’

    :lol: Uh oh, someone thought he'd criticise someone else before looking it up on Google! You guys are hilarious. You think all countries that do something different from yours are wrong because yours is great and theirs is some kind of third world place stuck in centuries past who can't spell. It's like, we have penicillin and the wheel here, Liam. Get over yourselves.

    All assumptions, you can't prove anyone thought those things, you can't even argue about them!

    Well, did you mistakenly think it was wrong because it's not how your specific country does it or not? Do you admit that you didn't know other countries had other spellings of the same English and that there's nothing wrong with that? I think your spelling is wrong, and the 'z' is a dumb letter but regardless...

    I'm sure we both love Walcott and boxing but we have to have our differences too, if we're being enlightened about it.

    Walcott fought two of the greatest heavyweights known to man: Louis and Marciano. And he gave both all they could handle.
    That alone speaks volumes about his talent.
    And lets remember the first Louis fight was considered a bad decision.

    I thought you were an American since your profile says you're from Georgia. If you are from another country, then I apologize for this.
