    I got that, I still found it funny.

    I'd be shocked if anyone here had heard of non binary outside the context of a Ben Shapiro video.

    Sweet. I figured you did, just being careful not to offend “They” or “Them” whoever they or them may be. I’m still very much good with He or Him myself.

    This place makes an NRA meeting look like a lefty hippy love in, so I wouldn't worry about it.

    You are talking about exceptions, not the rule.
    Take someone Charles's size, like Holyfield. Holyfield moves way better, it's all there for you to see.

    I don't call every single pre 70s HW a scrub. I've always appreciated Liston, Patterson.

    Yes, cause I judge him based on achievements. I does not mean he's invincible. Nobody is.
    I use a similar assessment when ranking HWs in terms of greatness. I have no problem whatsoever putting Louis as the no. 1 or no. 2 HW of all time based on what he achieved in his own era. But that does not mean that I'm blind to actually think he stands a chance against modern ATG HWs like Lewis or Tyson, he doesn't, they'd eat him up alive, mop the floor with him, he's hopeless.

    What movement skills did Holyfield know that Charles didn't?

    I think some of the apparent difference in "skill" that people see is actually just a consequence of greater speed and athletic ability from better strength and conditioning. This is a common phenomenon today as well, with announcers praising a guy for amazing skills when he's just faster and more athletic than his opponent.

    facts and logic

    for you to believe he beats the 70s-90s you have to act like boxing didnt advanced thats what they do

    Perhaps it has to do with athletic ability too, but Holyfield is superior nonetheless.

    from the way holy did his punches he did it in the tech as Louis but from mutiple angles while moving which is way more impressive then the way Joe did it hitting people who stood there against people who didnt move good

    along with the other advances holy had over him

    holy is the best all around hw boxer ever not joe which is why I gave holy the nickname the great holy

    Okay. So the "advanced technique" you referred to was Holy firing punches at different angles while moving?

    You liked his posts about Bonecrusher, not me.
    No he didn't? Seriously, what do you watch?
    So you appreciate fighters you like, but call his opponents scrubs? Sounds completely objective.
    So you agree that SRR would get beaten badly by an amateur today?

    Johnny B would beat Mayweather, Robinson and Sharkey on the same night.
