    I want to see the case for Zora being seriously argued. I'm curious.

    As much as I like Zora Folley I can’t think of a pathway to victory for him here.

    Only versions I could see a prime Zora beating is Louis circa 50-51. But even then, I would still favor Louis. Charles and Marciano had to give it all they got to beat the diminished version of Louis.

    I see Louis stopping him around the half way mark. Zora was a fine, contender in his time, but Louis imo would eventually crack him for the ko.

    No Folley doesn't beat Louis but was it honestly worth making a thread over? Site has only so much band width.

    And without a poll to boot, even a greater sin.

    I also suggest a poll, with names of voters visible so we can see the breakdown.

    And for our eventual blacklist. :mad:

    This … he might evade him for a bit but eventually Joe is going to land a shot and the referee is going to count to 10 and people are going to get up and go to the house.

    I'd write a defense of the Folley position if I knew enough about him. But I don't.

    What brave man in the forum will stand as Zora's champion?
