Battle of Thermopylae

Frazier? Was lucky to meet a far past prime Ali, was blown out by the crude and mediocre Foreman two times. Bum.
Hagler? Was beaten by a past prime ww who came of a long layoff. Bum.
Tua? Never did anything of note. Bum.
Marciano? Only beat old fighters and fomer lhws. Bum.

Lewis? Blown out by bums twice. Bum.
Hearns? Blown out by mediocre Hagler and Leonard. Bum.
Foster? Are you serious? Who did he ever beat? Bum.
Sandy Saddler? Only reason he ever beat someone was because he was a foul bum.

Dempsey? Ducked everybody. Bum.
Tyson? Quitter! Bum.
LaMotta? What did he ever do? Get beaten up by a ww? Bum.
Greb? Lost all the time. Bum.

I´d only need Duran.

 

Fixed.

 

They'd all be pooing when they saw the mighty shithouse Strawweight army though.

 

:roflThis is a good thread.

 

Duran x Vindaloo x Beer x Diuretics =Biological Warfare

 

That's good, man. I laughed. The "poo" jokes by Poochilles and Poo-poo Puncher were predictable.

 

I actually think this is a pretty good topic

John L Sullivan must have a mortgage on one of the front row spots. He has a demonstrated proven record of KOing these type of guys quickly and better than anyone else, his hands will definitely stand up, his stamina is proven he has good speed i think he is one of the front boys. I would have him front centre tearing into the

Iron Mike tyson must also be in teh front line, but he needs solid back up, i am a little worried about his hands, because as proved in the Mitch Green fight, they are brittle and can break.

Jack Dempsey stands out as the third attacker his attack was relentless, and the numbers would not be unfamiliar from the hobo days.


Back Row Centre has to be Fitzsimmons. The master of science, he can pick his shots perfectly and KO them cold from both sides, as soon as it is required.

Backing up Dempsey would be Foreman. not fast enough or good enough stamina to hold front row, but good enough to step into his shows at times, to give him a break and if anyone causes a jim Flynn style KO, Foreman will let Dempsey recover his senses. Also, he would be lethal once Dempsey engages if the early KO isnt forthcoming.

Behind Tyson is Marciano. If Tyson gasses, he needs stamina to back him up. Marciano is the man.

This leaves the back three. I think JOhnson on the far right is the choice. A master of battle royals, he can float forward at the right time and clinch a few guys to set them up for a foreman right. Johnson will come out untouched!

Behind Marciano, i am going to gamble on Wlad Klitchkso. Big hitting, strong, and good stamina. He can cover for Tyson if Tysons hands break, or he gets tired and will float forward from time to time.

This leaves the back centre position. Louis is the perfect fighter but i dont think he is the mand for the spot. I think that Tunney might be worth a gamble. The best boxing brain ever, he can direct everyone around beautifully. Ali is another who can do it all, but i am not sure he would command the same respect from his team. Maybe a Sam Langford or Peter Jackson or Jem MAce might be worth the spot. i think i will have to think about this final sweepers position.

I think Foreman should line up behind him. He is a little slow to start off up front, but he can knock anyone cold who even causes a bit of a blip

 

Good idea for a thread, though!

Front Rank: --- Lennox --- Golota --- Vitali --- Primo ----- Max Baer
(get some walls in there, to trim the incoming hordes by putting the stomp on them)

2nd Rank: --- Hearns --- Julian Jackson --- Bob Foster ---Dempsey
(get some punchers in there to clean them out some more. Not Tyson... he'd get tired.)

Reserve Rank: --- adrunkLewJenkins ---Kid McCoy --- Jake Lamotta --- Frtizie Zivic------ Duran------Bummy Davis, take your pick.
('Dem sadists will make the survivors wish they were iced by the bangers or stomped by the monsters)

 

I would never ever want Duran bringing up the rear. Seriously though, would you trust him to get your back, poos regardless?

Front Rank(Big Boys: Range and Power):
--- Lennox Lewis --- Max Baer --- Wladimir Klitschko ---Tim Witherspoon

2nd Rank(Grinders: Stamina, Chin, Heart, Power):
--- Rocky Marciano --- Joe Frazier --- Evander Holyfield ---- Jim Jeffries

Reserve Rank(Cold Blooded Assasins-One hit one kill after the big boys are tired):
--- Jack Dempsey --- Mike Tyson --- Joe Louis --- Bob Fitzsimmons

 

I'd just wedge Butterbean in the front of the pass, and have Marvin Hagler and Sonny Liston about ten feet behind to sort out any little ****ers who manage to climb past him.

Ideally, I'd launch a pre-emptive attack on Strawweight Persia with an army of Henry Armstrongs.

 

I'm diggin' this one.

 

Front rank: Foreman, Lewis, Lyle, Vitali

Second rank: Tyson, Frazier, Dempsey, Maciano

Third rank: Ali, Louis, Robinson, Graziano
