He fought Pender in his hometown both times and the press thought Robinson won the 1st fight that's evidence! ps Risko held a version of the middleweight title.Do you ever do any research? Pender ducked Giardello and Tiger.He was a cheese champion. Apostoli and Thil are crap?Yeah okay.
Zale wasnt washed up. He just met his match IMO, had he not dislocated his shoulder in the 1st, wouldve whipped Jake easy fortunately for Jake, Marcel didnt make it to the rematch
No Steele never fought Cerdan probably because he retired in1938 and as late as 1939 Cerdan was a welterweight !lol This answers my earlier question," do you ever do any research?" lol
LOL - no lower - with fine lines, such as these. As a matter of interest, do you think Hopkins should be considered a Top-10 ATG Middleweight?
Giardello beat Tigerx2 Carter Troy Panter Cartier Jones His record wins are better than Pender's by a considerable margin.
Thanks. This list compiling is all fine, when you're not too bothered whether or not the list changes the next day. Trying to establish a more stable list can be a headache.
Absolutely, plus, as Zale had rapidly aged after the crucible of the three Graziano bouts...ok, #3 was a onesided cake walk for Zale, but the first two would be enough to suck the goody out of any fighter. Damned right Zale wasn't the same fighter that he was before the War...and fighting Cerdan, and at the pace Cerdan set...was just a bridge too far for Zale.
