I also forgot to correct u on Marcianos defense. His defense was stellar. He was extremely difficult to hit cleanly as Compubox stats show. And...
Think Moore was his best win or second best behind Walcott. Not sure how many would agree with that but Moore was on an absolute tare. Beating all...
I don’t think much of Holmes opposition but Cooney Witherspoon Mercer Norton and Shavers are prob better than anyone Vitali beat. His opposition...
Sanders was never that good and came into that fight like it was his last. He looked out of shape and was. He still gave him a rough time. Tyson...
For the record no one ever has an easy night w Vitali….it would be a rare matchup for anyone to have an “easy” night w an ATG. It’s my opinion...

This is my opinion of the matter. His thin resume and failing to beat the two or three (maybe 4) best fighters of the time is what kills him....
Cooney has a better shot than he’s given credit for here…he’s better than sanders and Sanders gave him a good fight
I don’t believe this for a sec. most fights then weren’t documented like today. If u can believe it Archie Moore has more fights than are listed....
Never delete never give up! This thread has promise
