    Sure, but that did not include holding a version of the title, or even an uncontroversial win over a contender ranked in the top ten by Ring Magazine on the day of the fight.

    Was he capable of more than he showed us?

    Yes in my humble opinion.

    However I doubt that he would have been a world beater in another era.

    Best compliment I could give Max is that he may have the toughness and chin to see the final bell.

    Baer is a palooka. stick to acting and leave the fighting to real fighters. Tua wins by decapitation

    you mean that lunging ham and egger from the 1930s?

    So Galento impresses you I see! Reminds me of amateur night at the backyards of the Estrada Projects in Boyle Heights

    Didnt people know how to train in those days?Did they have conditioning then? Because I see three rolls of flab around his waist.

    No wonder he tires so fast!

    disgusting flab all over the place. cant even stand up properly

    Tires after 3 rounds, his hands down (because he cant hold them up) and his mouth hanging open. an era of clearly INFERIOR athletes. A truly SAD era in boxing
