With Machen, Folley, Liston, Williams, Johanson and Terrell it was a decently strong era, but the issue is, as already mentioned, Patterson only...
The win over Loughran is the only thing that makes me skeptical. It's probably not completely one sided but Conn should win the decision.
We have Louis on film keeping Marciano on the outside and busting up his face with left hands, what makes you think the prime version won't be...
Ok, the Berbick version is peak helpless Ali of all the two versions we got to see, he still isn't winning a round against the best of Walcott. Go...
We'll find out on the next Louis vs Marciano thread five minutes from now
Dempsey, Tunney beat Marciano and you could easily make an argument for Schmeling, prime Walcott, prime Charles, Sharkey and Baer for beating him....

Louis at near 38 was out boxing a prime Marciano until he got tired. Any version from 1934 to 1948 beats Marciano with relative ease, knocks him...
Imagining the Holmes Ali beating Sharkey, Weaver and Walcott gave me a good laugh. He gets shut out on the cards against all of these. Walcott...
They weren't He lost one fight out of eighty and he avenged that loss multiple times, he was probably a bigger threat than Charles or Moore,...
I see Williams in the title, i'll lurk for the inevitable sandwich recipes on page 84 tomorrow

Tunney is just behind Moore and Charles on resume, head to head he is better than both. Yeah, it is. Show me Marciano destroying men like 6"3...
They couldn't find him in the 1930 census so he couldn't have been born yet. Who came up with the May 1932 birth date?
Who gives a **** if he was just two years older than Marciano? He had already been fighting for 14 years by then. Marciano retired after 8 years...
