    WTF? I would pick the worst version of Pernell to beat ANY version of Antonio DeMarco. This would not be competitive. Did you mean Welterweight Tony DeMarco from the 1950s? That is a much more intriguing matchup.

    I’m going to assume that’s who he meant ….AND EVEN THEN…I just came to listen to an argument for Tony Demarco

    Respectfully, Antonio Demarco definitely would've beaten Pernell from the Bojorquez fight.

    They used to call him Antonio "Don Juan" DeMarco, because of all of the women he seduced, including my sisters, Detta and Odetta. Also, my cousins, Joyce and Loyce. Also, Juan is not pronounced the way you think it might be. It's pronounced ''HOO-QUAWN." Oddly, my son's name is actually Hoo-Quawn. But that's completely coincidental. Has nothing to do with anything. He is not Hispanic. To my knowledge.

    Is that the Yiddish pronunciation? If you dig in enough, I think you can make it rhyme with "tuchus."

    Well, actually, I did think it was one of those where....do you know Juan Luis Pedro Felipo de Huevos Epstein, of the Sweathogs?
