    I’m not saying Louis was bad he was great at the time but he didn’t have the fighting iq and knowledge modern fighters have and he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the athleticism that modern fighters show. In an all time ranking I rate Louis very highly but head to head there aren’t many modern heavyweights I would favour him against.

    • @cross_trainer @Austinboxing is your alt, If I have to get the authorities involved I will make sure you're stuck with the account that said Ezzard Charles is overrated. @McGrain do your damn job partner.

    Lol I’m sorry but watching you guys rage every time I say someone’s not very good is hilarious. I’ll try and stop.

    I should perhaps add that my only alt (on two occasions) was another person's alt, which I appropriated/stole and imitated his posting style after the original had been banned. For fun, I made the alt abandon a lot of its previous views, and develop a venomous hatred of James J. Corbett. I didn't continue my experiment in post-mortem alt desecration very long, though.

    You swear? @Austinboxing is cartoonishly "pro modern" and stuff like using AJ's physique as an argument seems like our flavour of satire.

    So back to it, why is it Ruiz the stumpy fat fellow who is the same height as Joe and a third as technically sound absolutely wash and pump your body beautiful goliath?
