Klompton is making the point that Williams didn't do enough to be considered some kind of ATG uncrowned champion. It's a long way from you...
And now Williams is no better than Carmine Vingo? Vingo was young, green, with a mediocre ko percentage, 20lbs lighter than Williams, and had...
Good grief, are you pushing this line again? Charlie Powell was nowhere close to being in Williams's class. His last fight before facing...
I think pretty much everyone here understands that fighters - particularly heavyweights - are not in their physical prime at the age of 20. The...

This 1916 article explains that: The cruiserweight is the boxer we used to know as the light-heavyweight. Cruiserweight because he ranks as a...

So your original claim that Miteff, Holman and Rischer were knocked out by every half-decent opponent they fought has been whittled down to the...
