    lol, I am not certain Jeff may even have a reach advantage over Rocky and his tiny little thumb arms? Not sure who would win but I have a feeling Rocky will get cut to shreds trying to slip that long quick jab. Could go either way TBH

    I think Jeff is too modern for Rocky. Marciano was just a caveman fighting in an unsophisticated era.

    That LaMotta and Dempsey are overrated. Marciano as well.

    At least going by a recent list in the Sport Bible, and probably on many similar lists.

    Castillo, Corrales, and Casamayor win in a round robin with Morales, Marquez, and Barerra. Maybe even pfp although Morales' pfp level at 122 was the highest.

    Gamboa beats Barerra.

    - '90s heavy wasn't a particularly good division.
    - Marlon Starling had a better career than Donald Curry.

    It means you don't like boxing or any sport, except zorbing and snowboarding, but only off piste, your hair probably looks stupid, and there's a high possibility you consider yourself 'pansexual'.

    1. Professional boxing should be conducted under tournaments at every level of the sport -just like the amateurs. 2. The system of beating one man to become champion is a poor way to decide a champion. 3. A champion fighting who he wants when he wants is ridiculous. 4.Specific top ten ranking is extremely limited and too much of a guessing game to be seen as very legitimate.
