Anyway, I don't think Galento was better than Norton, just think he would be a major threat to him prime-for-prime. I can imagine a determined,...
:lol: True that. :good
I don't have any particular expertise, but I know enough to know that your "mob promoted" slur was almost certainly nonsense. Everyone at the time...
This is not only an insult to Galento, but an insult to Joe Louis and others who fought him.

He beat Nova. I haven't seen the fight (have you?) but have read various reports. One or two writers complained that the referee should have...
The Ali of 1971 was a better fighter than the Foreman of 1974, in my opinion anyway.
I was refering to Ali's greatness and quickness compared to the Weinerts and Wigginses and Brennans of this world, not to Greb himself. I'm...
