Yes, Fitzsimmons hardly has a good record as a heavyweight - certainly not as good as Archie Moore's, who also beat better fighters at...
What, Napoles around '67-'70? I couldn't. Robinson wasn't untouchable even back in the '40s. As would be expected for such a harsh schedule, he...
I think he would last a while actually, because Moore (1955) wouldn't have gone out with all guns blazing and Willard (1919) was pretty tough,...
Post '94 they were alright, post '97 they then turned wanky. Before '94, with the old guitarist, they were a top band. But a very aquired taste...

Don't take me for an idiot mate.
