    The guy said - "Holmes beat out 14-0 David Bey who was just off of a UD win over Greg Page, before taking a decision against 16-0 Carl Williams who had just beaten out James Tillis."

    Did Cleveland Williams beat James Tillis? Did Holmes beat Cleveland Williams?

    Learn ur history, a non revised version thanks.

    Given your form so far I'd stay well away from talking brains. Psssst Cleveland Williams fought mainly in the 50's and 60's not the mid 80's.

    And there it is, the last vestige. I bet you are the Archie Moore of the gym, just like you pick all those fights that nobody knows about ;)

    We've all seen it. Hopeless big man gets whooped by talented small man. Talented big man beats similarly talented small man. That's why you see all those big men getting beaten by small men in that revered era of yours, the big guys were ordinary. If you're stupid enough to think a few examples of small men beating spud big men is so ridiculously significant then god help you.

    The argument is old Holmes vs Moore at heavyweight and the side bar is if Moore was an ATG at heavyweight. You've failed miserably defending both positions. Little wonder you are a routine punching bag in the Marciano threads. Your efforts do him more harm than good!!

    Usyk is champ because he's so damn good and the gulf between 220 and 250/260 is not as significant, at this time, as the old gap between 180 and 210 for example.

    I'll post what i want when i want thanks very much. You won't poll because you lack the intestinal fortitude to back up your insults and sad accusations. Credibility = zilch.

    You started the insults princess, head heart etc. You've done the same to DP accusing him of talking prime Holmes when he clearly stated old Holmes in his post.

    21-1 with you being the only one in the Moore corner. U sure know ur boxing!

    Now **** off I've wasted enough time on u.

    Saying someone has rose colored glasses isn’t an insult it’s an opioid based on previous statements. If u took it as an insult it must have held some truth. Ur a pos and a jackass. That’s an insult and I have no use for u
