Strange comment from someone who just a few days earlier had been offered $100,000 by Philadelphia promoters to box Greb in an 8 round no decision...
Burt I'll give you $1,000 if you can find me a contemporary interview with Greb where he says this. Otherwise its bull**** as far as Im concerned....
horse****. we dont award title shots based on having waited a long time. carpentier had faced nobody of note since winning a controversial dq over...
Sorry Burt and Quarry but you guys are both wrong in regards to Dempsey-Greb. There was a demand for the fight. So much so that Dempsey, early in...
Another thread trying to legitimize jones paper championships... You have to beat the man to be the man and Jones never did that.
consecutive it says: back to back. No I dont consider Lowery, Nardico, or Murphy particularly difficult in the history of consecutive fight runs....
I love how these threads get watered down as people try to squeeze their favorites in: Ted Lowery, Bob Murphy, and Danny Nardico included in a...
Im with you. Ive never understood why people think this fight is close. the closing rounds were somewhat dramatic but Holmes was well in control IMO.
I never said LaFleur has it or the Williams fight. In fact, after much research, Im about 98 percent sure that Quarry-Mathis does not exist.
LOL as if your KO ratio is a true indicator of power. Go watch the footage that exists on Steele and then tell me he couldnt pop.
That may or may not be but its beside the point. You said Zale did well against Conn, he didnt.
I fail to see why people always say Zale did well against Conn. He was dominated by Conn.
Lesnevich was at least as tough as Zale if not tougher and Steele went through him like a hot knife through butter.
At his best, before his manager/father figure died, Steele would outclass Zale.
One bad dude and totally underrated today.
