Not a problem my friend. Always enjoy a good debate.
I used to dismiss Galento as a fighter but he was a tough strong SOB and before he got too heavy for his height was built like a tank. If only he...
I'll say Dempsey. Look at the 5 punch combo he hiy Tunney with in thier 2nd fight that decked Gene. I've never seen Joe throw anythig like that.
Seamus broughy up a good point. It took Max 12 rounds and about 100 right hands to finally stop Louis. If Larry did get dropped he would get...

I think Rocky was wise to call it quits when he did. His skills were on the decline and the wear and tear on his body was taking its toll. A...
H2H I would put Hagler at #1. The guy was a beast. He could box, punch, was always in tremendous shape and had a chin like the black boxes they...
Recently read "A Flame of Pure Fire" by Roger Kahn about the life of Jack Dempsey, Great book Burt. If you haven't read it yet I would suggest...
I stand corrected. Burt you're right about Dempsey's ability to throw short powerful punches. I forgot about the Firpo fight. Jack decked Firpo...
