    It's fairly obvious in the enhanced clip that Siki kicked or kneed Carp. Where he kicked him is not obvious but indeed he was kicked. Siki should have been DQed.

    ATG status has been distorted over time. Carp was an ATG due to his incredible career winning multiple championships in multiple weight divisions. He was rated as the greatest European fighter in boxing history for decades. Where he should be rated an ATG may be debated HOWEVER in his day weight in of itself was not an important parameter. Anyone over 165 pounds could fight as a hwt as per Gunboat Smith as an example.

    I know Cyzy....he is not beating prime Carpentier. Cycz would be dead meat for Carps dynamite right hand. Carp won't miss with that punch and it will tear Bobby to pieces.

    Who rated him as the "Greatest European fighter in history?" What are his signature wins?
