Funny words coming from you ;)
Archie was incredible to watch at that time.
Nice try, but we have seen how Ali or Moore did against different competition during that time. We haven't seen anything from Jeffries, other than...
Sure, but we compare college weights here, which I remind you 10th time here. Not within an inch or two, but within half of inch.
That's not true, the difference between average 2020s center and average 1960s center is within half of inch. I don't see why it would change...

I think it's caused by two main things: 1. People mistake 1960s basketball with 1940s basketball, because all of the clips we have are B&W. I...
I have a principle that I never assume a fix without very solid evidences. It doesn't mean that it's impossible that this fight was fixed, but...
1. Are you dense or what? I said you like 5 times that teams used college weights back in the 1960s, so you can't compare numbers like apples to...
I think we need extraoridinary evidences to conclude that a fight was a fix - especially with no footage. I don't think that's the case here.
I think it's as fair as cross-era comparison can be. Otherwise, we can say that 1930s HW boxers were bigger than in 1970s because Carnera was the...
