    pretty funny when you see one of them post and then slightly disagree or agree with the other one or join in a debate on the same side. madness :lol:. I wonder what other ESB classic regs are using alts... ;)

    I guess these lists are assuming Maske as the Consensus All Time Great and these are the runners-up?

    No way does Foster belong over Loughran, who schooled Braddock and Max Baer, and avenged his stoppage defeats to Sharkey and Hamas. Bob never could have taken the heavyweight title, while Tommy may actually have been the best heavyweight in the world from August 1928 (Tunney's retirement) until after he relinquished his LHW Championship in September 1929 (whereupon Sharkey promptly stunned him in three). Bottom line is that Tommy defeated two future and one former HW champion to Foster's zero.

    As awesome a killer of lightheavies as Foster was...and he was definitely the greatest puncher of all 175 lb'ers, he definitely comes after Loughran, who, on another day, I might elevate to my #2 pick..I just felt homage needed to be paid to Moore here..

    unfortunately i've never used an alt. reading some of my old posts is enough to make me cringe. i came up with some god aweful threads that are almost enough for me to create a new user but i don't mind braving it.

    every so often a troll will bump one of my threads but these days i know a lot more than a lot of general posters so i can hold my own but god was i a shite poster just a year ago.

    maybe i'm still considered shite now but i was a lot worse then haha

    All truly great boxer/fighters, what a lineup! However subjectively, I would go for the '' Mongoose"' on the strength of his three decades of combat.
