    least I know my facts and don't get them off boxrec or youtube. I've seen the fighters live, read and wrote about them for years Princess Fleaman. Anybody can do the **** you do. Look up boxrec, watch a rd. or two of youtube and call myself an expert. Ain't that how you did it? You know you did. I've dealt w/ little know-a-little, pretenders like you all my life. You're about as shallow as a stream when it comes to boxing knowledge and if you look up the facts and read BOOKS for the history of the sport (bios included a LOT) instead of surfing the internet for your facts, you'll see I'm right. But you don't do that. Do ya' Princess. :good

    Are you still mad because I'm anti-gay and put down the gay life you tried to so unably defend in the post about Emile Griffith? Hey, that's your choice, but don't bring your lack of facts bull**** at me, you'll lose. That's how you do it isn't it? You don't have the breadth or depth of knowledge in the sport, so you just put others down. You are the real joke my freind. I've never seen you have an origin idea that you learned thru experience except your speech on where boxing was at. And you probably stole those ideas from just reading other posters.

    I agree, but when the Princess sits back and puts down others and myself out of nowhere, well then it is on. But he could always complain to the ones who watch over these pages again.

    So we should just infer via some quota system that these guys were viable challengers. Granted, Louis did fight some underwhelming folks, but I don't find any evidence that Elmer Ray (despite have the best nom de guerre in the game) would have more than a slim puncher's chance against Louis. He was KO'd by at least a few Louis' victims. Sure, he's better than a Johnny Paycheck but did not exactly suffer from a Wills-complex. And as far as Murray or Sheppard, labeling their careers as inconsistent would be complimentary. Long and short of it, I don't think any of this bunch would have represented the best of the challengers that Louis faced.
