A while ago, Klompton stated Joe Louis knocked out Rocky Marciano's front teeth, he came to this conclusion after seeing a pic of Marciano with his bridge out as he sat smiling in his dressing room after the fight. Below is a summary of the damage inflicted on him by Louis. http://www.fighttoys.com/Marciano-Louis pair.htm Below is a photo kindly provided by Rocky Split Nose for the Classic picture thread that shows Rocky just prior to the Layne fight you can see Rocky has a bridge in the front of his top set.This fight was 3 months before he fought Louis. Not being pedantic, just putting the record straight. I found Klompton a trifle arrogant, and condescending, but he was a knowledgeable poster and will be missed. This content is protected
How has he been banned? I post some of the most vulgar ever written on this forum, I have never been banned.
So Louis didn't knock his teeth out right? :think Thought that claim was a bit out there as I had never seen anything written about it. Rocky would likely be in the hospital if that was the case, not smiling like a doofus for the cameras.
It is ridiculous that posters of quality are being banned over minor indiscretions. The best posters on this site, are effectivley its crown jewels.
