You said "To simply dismiss factual results out of hand because one hasn't seen film of the proceedings", I wasn't dismissing his results at all....
You are inferring a lot beyond what I said. Greb was marginally better than Mickey Walker, that means he was amongst the very best of his time...
Thanks, out of curiosity which one of my opinions do you least agree with?
I thoroughly disagree with pretty much all of this and reminds me of even more unpopular opinions I have that I may add to my previous ones later....
- The skill level of the sport has increased over time, largely plateaued since the 80s but still probably marginal improvement. - Right now is...
Jesus Christ, have you booked a room for you and Carl after? Seriously though I've always rated Frampton highly, I still think he is more...
Massively underrated. There are a lot of underrated fighters from the 90s.
Warrington says stuff like this because he is insecure about his lack of power, it is as simple as that. His attitude was great in the Selby fight.
One of those typical 6 foot 1 and a half super-heavyweights. He was 220 when he fought Sharkey. I fail to see why the use of steroids or weights...
Crazy people cannot be reasoned with. I've seen the arguments and the evidence and it isn't remotely convincing. We don't have to have turned...
Godfrey was hardly the size of the modern super-heavyweights though. Carnera was the only genuine super-heavyweight that Sharkey fought and he was...
That is one crazy consensus then.
Surely any sensible debate should revolve around just how much it has advanced (probably less than most sports) rather than whether it has or hasn't.
Are you referring to Primo Carnera? Holyfield was bigger than Sharkey and had abilities light-years ahead of Sharkey plus those steroids helped too.
No, not unless you want to set up a crime scene.
