    And you're a basic joke termite....you need to follow a sport that you can comprehend...the simpler the better.

    Yea because you gave a perfect breakdown of Conn the world beater going thru the like of Holyfield and Foreman? You lack even the simplest of basic boxing concepts. :deal

    Where did you come from? How long have you been following boxing, 6 months...a year at most? You're basically a child...you have a child's mentality...not worth even communicating with.

    This is probably the closest to my own intuition, but I don't think that I would favor him against any of them even (especially not Foreman).

    I didn't think that Conn looked that amazing against Louis. Didn't seem lightening fast or particularly slick. Seemed more like a smart, skilled little guy taking advantage of a ponderous bigger man with very limited mobility who wasn't particularly adept at dealing with movement. I don't see how that would be enough against most of the guys on this list.

    It's a consensus that you have no idea about what you are commenting on. You should probably sit out for a few years, watch a lot of tape and, god forbid, go fine a gym and do a little boxing. Maybe then you could see what it is that you now can not see.

    I would pick him to beat Ruddock, Foreman, Witherspoon, and Moorer, some more comfortably than others.

    Can any of you guys recommend some other Billy Conn performances that really demonstrate his abilities?

    I took it to mean their best nights in the 90s, so I am not matching him against 70s Foreman, or 80s Witherspoon for example.

    I just meant on one of their typical nights circa 91 in the original post. That answers it though.

    Everything seems to evade you, from basic information such as who fighters fought, to their general boxing style, and what was written in the posts that you are commenting on!

    I don’t know what you are even trying to accomplish here to be honest.
