Harry Greb is just an old glorified version of Joe Calzaghe.

    Slaak, of course i didn't see that fight, but I read about the fight and the people at Stillmans gym many days after the fight were trainers, mgrs, who were made aware of the bout via the telephones in back of Stillman's, by
    boxing people who were at that bout....I remember vividly all the scuttlebutt about the bout amongst groups of Stillman's attendees ,not long after the fight.

    At least say you're trolling then. It's better for your credibility.

    Yes Artie Levine fought out of Cleveland, but he was born in Brooklyn, Ny.
    I was especially interested in Artie Levine, as my mother and his Aunt, were friends....I believe his birth name was Lavigne. ?

    Eu nasci em 1985, então não lembro....mas escuto muito sobre eles, as pessoas mais velhas falam bastante sobre esse time...e o Sócrates era um cara que eu admirava....

    Wrong . Mobility sometimes manages 2 save light punchers' asses from being walked through in2 .
    If he had more power then u'd expect a man with so many fights (but not that many rounds(..)) 2 have at least 1 serious stoppage victory against 1 good fighter . But no , he failed 2 even manage that . And no fight with Sam Langford despite a very lengthy career .

    That's why when handing Tunney his only loss he battered him in what is conisidered one of the bloodiest most savage beatings in the history of the sport.

    Well hhascup also supports burt's claim in this and in fact claimed a longer duration of Smith being out :
    henry usually knows his stuff and can probably back it up .
    As for your newspaper articles my opinion is that maybe their authors didn't find it wrong when d ref walked Levine 2 his corner , maybe they had some kind of n interest / agenda in d fight , maybe they just miscounted d time because they were concentrated in some other element/s of d fight ? maybe something else ? but I believe in d longcount . I learned that many truths gets underplayed in favor of d larger myths , just like with Dempsey-Sharkey , Louis-Buddy Baer #1 , Marchegiano-Cream #2 , Dempsey-Tunney #2 , Cooper-Ali #1 , Foreman-Ali and even Molinares vs Starling in n opposite way although Starling at least until not long ago was much more underrated than anything close 2 a myth .
