Any Middleweights you'd favor over Sam Langford?

Hi mate very sorry to hear about your condition. If you fancy a chat about treatment, life, compute games or just boxing PM me mate

Listen you piece of scum, you have a big mouth behind your computer screen don't you? But you've never boxed for a second in your life, don't have a clue about how to throw a punch and yet try to write a boxing book You're nothing more than a little scummy middle class coward living fantasies.

We know you're in love with Harry Greb and masterbate over his photos daily but have a look at him box on film, he's a spastic who clearly can't box better than a below average amateur. Oh but you don't know because you don't know how to throw a punch or box. You window licking spastic.

Me and you, sparring, fancy it coward boy????

 

I think Darcy's trajectory and plight is a bit similar to Golovkin's in that he likely had the right to claim that he was the best middleweight in the world by the time he had defeated Chip (who was coming of a newspaper win over a not yet peak Greb, it should be noted). He had certainly proved to be a more formidable middleweight than the reigning champion, Al McCoy.

He never got the chance to solidify that claim, though. Still, his claim to be a world titleholder isn't any less credible than many of the other alphabet titleholders that have come down the line.

 

To Klompton the Pathetic.

Before I tell you off Lowlife, I have to have a huge belly laugh at your stupid post I put in the quote..... SOOOOOOOO they created this title in 1912 just for a kid they had never ever heard of at the time.... lol, you are a stupid man.

Thanks for proving to the entire world that Stephen Compton, a NON boxer as Power Puncher points out is also a lowlife bit of refuse, One day I won't be able to reply to your pathetic garbage because I will be dead, due to cancer which you are laughing about. You have taken your Greb fanboy rubbish too far and now everyone can see you are scum.

 

As if he's ever been anywhere to descend from.

 

All the best Greg.

 

Klompton,

You are trying to make an awful lot of Darcy not winning outside of his own country. Could you remind me again how many times Greb fought outside of America?

 

3 times but not far from home, just up the road to Canada and towards the end of his career, rarely ever did he ever even leave New England... Klompton the hypocrite. He fought a handful of fights in the south and a couple in the west. LOL

 

Didn't Greg fight exhibitions in the UK during the first world war ??

 

I have a hard time believing that the likes of Papke, Johnson, McVey, Langford, Fitzsimmons, Maxie Rosenbloom, right through to Archie Moore and Freddie Dawson would all undertake (generally very successful) fighting tours of Australia if the conditions were so onerous and the odds so weighted heavily against foreign fighters here.

By most accounts I've read McGoorty and Crouse were simply outclassed and well beaten by Darcy and I put about as much stock in their "fix" claims as I do Jack Johnsons against Willard. I mean McGoorty by all eye witness accounts was basically pummeled for 23 rounds by Darcy over two fights which hardly sounds like he was looking for an excuse to fall over.

Jeff Smith seems to have a legitimate gripe though and two DQ results (particularly as Smith wasn't noted as a dirty fighter) are entirely unsatisfactory when comparing the merits of the two fighters (although I have read that Darcy was winning both fights when the DQ's happened but there are big question marks surrounding both fights imo).

I think the truth about Darcy lies somewhere in the middle of Klompton and Greg's views, being that he was already an outstanding contender and excellent fighter but simply didn't achieve enough to be rated as an ATG due to the hand of fate and we simply will never know what he would've achieved.

 

Fair and balanced assessment right here IMO.
