    What if Godzilla's Yakuza buddies influenced the contract and had firebreathing allowed?

    Does that make it more interesting?

    Jerry Quarry beats everyone he never fought.

    I love the guy, but he's more of a "what could have been" folk hero.

    That Lennox Lewis is just "Too big" for most heavyweights and therefore would beat Ali simply because of his size.:patsch

    Who did Quarry not fight tho? He fought damn near everyone worth mentioning bar Foreman who, as a fan of both, can admit Foreman would probably crush him.

    "Jimmy Young was featherfisted"


    Okay,Jimmy would never feature in an all time big puncher list by any stretch of the imagination,but what the hell is 'featherfisted' ?? His punches were effective enough to bring down a prime George Foreman for only the second time in George's career. Only Muhammad Ali was capable of that at the period of time.

    i agree with you steveG about that he did not have the power of a flyweight, but using the example of his fight with forenman like proof of his power is absurd , and it was not even a knock down, foreman was "down"( i would not call it even a knock down) because he was really tired not because the power of young

    Yeah lol before I dove into boxing history I could always guess who wins fantasy fights just by reading the forums despite not knowing anything about the fighters beyond their names and the forum's perception of them.
