    Whats your obsession with Marquez? You say the guy is overratted and done nothing, yet every thread you make is about him. Who are you really, Buboy?

    He got his rematch and the result was a worse then his first effort and me thinking he did enough to win doesn't make a difference.

    Hmm..Robney? What kind of name is that? You must be a ******.. No, the Ali-Norton fight wasn't disputable.. Norton lost it clearly & it didn't help his legacy at all. The 1st fight did because he broke Ali's jaw & etc, but Ali clearly beat him the 2nd time.

    Hey man, I can dig those names.. You're absolutely right.. I agree against Hagler & SRL. Ali against Smokin' Joe.. Sweet Pea against Chavez.. Walcot against Marciano.. Holyfield & Bowe... Good stuff..

    Holyfield was going to the HOF before he had a professional loss. Ali? What? Hearns didn't build a legacy off of his losses to Leonard or Hagler or anyone else. He built it off of annihilating Cuevas and Duran and beating Benitez and Hill...etc...Whitaker? Wasn't his legacy built off of a gold medal, unifying the titles at lightweight and going on to become a four-division champion more than anything? What the hell are we talking about?

    Whitaker didn't lose to Chavez, even officially. Ali already had a legacy before fighting Frazier, easily...Jesus...
