    Ah, the match-up we have all been demanding to be discussed!

    OK, I'm game. As much as I felt Jimmy was supremely limited, he gave it his all consistently and had a decent run in the mid-90's. Taking that version of Thunder, he decisions Jumbo.

    I always look for topics that haven't been discussed.

    How about Marciano versus Ali?

    I'm going with Cummings by a KO Thunder was limited in the chin department and Cummings could hit.

    Marciano is too slow for Ali.

    After the Thunder rains down upon him, Jumbo would be speaking mumbo-jumbo.

    Floyd is too stiff, too robotic and fights in one gear (and not a high gear). Too easy to hit. He makes Thunder look fluid and slick.

    Jimmy gets through with a right hand early and Cummings is mumbling about jumbo shrimp cocktail for dinner.

    good match
    I'll take Thunder to get a stoppage here in about 7 rounds.
    Jumbo may start quickly and land a few hefty looking wallops but Thunder was better all round and weathers the storm

    NO fence sitting for me.

    Either Thunder early or Cummings late OR Cummings early or Thunder late.

    Both have pop but both are also muscle bound with questionable stamina. Does anyone have a coin? :D

    I like that forecast, I’m actually a Thunder man myself and would like to think that Jimmy could win..and by emphatic KO.

    Lol, I never thought of that and my mind’s usually in the gutter. somehow not on this occasion.

    The question as to who can last the longest takes on a whole new meaning.

    Have you ever considered getting into the industry yourself Mr Nutsak? - you’re certainly already “name ready” for such a career plunge. :lol:
