    You really suck at making "gotcha" polls. Maybe you should leave it to smarter people?

    You scary?
    You've polluted this forum with garbage for over a year, and have trashed past champions and legends.
    It's time for this sham to end.

    I'm not sure what ya mean?? I think Tunney had an outstanding jab. He loved to throw the jab as his measure for his overhand right.. Also he was outstanding on the step back in which he would catch a guy still coming forward with a hook or that jab ...

    And I'm definitely not familiar with your guys' battles that have been going on for years it seems
    forgive me for being the new guy

    Uhm, no?

    The technical aspects of Listons jab were always overstated. It was long and hurt like a baseball bat, but that's it.

    You're a moron. Reread my posts--the ones you just read--and ask yourself whether I ever said that Sonny Liston revolutionized the jab by himself. This is like the third or fourth time you've misstated my posts on this topic. And never mind the fact that I explained that I was just speculating that Liston and Ali might have been turning point. Hard to believe that you're truly this dense. You're either incredibly dense or completely dishonest. Either way, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Big bozo backpedalling quick!
    Want me to add a "or other heavyweights around his period" qualifier?
    I don't think it'll change the results much, Skippy...

    You're not missing anything. This guy lives in a bizarre fantasy world where guys like Max Baer and Primo Carnera use their jab just as prolifically and effectively as the modern champions who came after them.

    You purposefully misstate my posts (repeatedly) and have the nerve to accuse me of backpedaling for restating exactly what I wrote back in the day? You're a clown.

    I'm actually trying my best to capture your dumb idiotic words as accurately as possible so that nobody misses out on how stupid you are.

    Again, I can add that qualifier if you want.
    But you said this:

    Stupid.

    If you're sincerely trying to capture my words as accurately as possible then you are much dumber than I thought. I wonder if you're fooling anyone though or just making a fool of yourself?
