Does anyone else find it unusual that in this topic, Tyson has 100% support over Dempsey with 9/9 votes, whereas in the Tyson vs Marciano topic - Rocky has 33.33% of the votes? Is Dempsey being sold short? :think
Same goes for you Charlie Chaplin fanboys picking Greb. How can you possibly pick him to beat someone you have proof of as the greatest MW fighter with visually evident skills? If we're talking about legacy then you can argue these guys are great for their time. If we're talking an actual fight, 20's fighters all look like ****.
You can talk legacy or fight, whichever is most comfortable for your knowledge or is the fairest playing field. Do you need to change your picks?
