But I'm not the one name calling or with the personal attacks. At least I don't initiate that type of behavior. I unlike you can have a decent conversation without resorting to bold colorful print to get my point across...... As if that in itself makes your point more important and rational. Actually, it makes you seem less intelligent, less in command of yourself and your environment. It makes you seem............ More cowardly..... Like your Demigod president Trump. An old James Brown song describes Trump and you Trumpetts perfectly...... You talk loud, But you say NOTHING.......
Theirs a Hugh difference between racism and prejudice . Look it up. But your right this is a boxing web site. That should be respected.
Someone mentioned Kallie Knoetze was Ring rated #6 when John Tate fought him. He actually was #3 going in, in the August 1979 issue, ratings as of May 31. Duane Bobick was not ranked by Ring going in to the Tate fight. Neither was Tate. Tate got a #10 afterward. Going into the Coetzee fight, Coetzee was ranked #2, Tate #3. Holmes #1, "title vacant." Tate's biggest win of the 1980's? Probably over 13-1 Donnie Long. I wish he hadn't been injured and gotten that 1984 shot vs. Larry Holmes. Going into their bouts with Cooney, Dino Denis was unranked, Jimmy Young was #12, Ron Lyle was unranked, and Ken Norton was #9 per Ring. Post-Holmes, none of Cooney's opponents were ranked (except champ Michael Spinks) by Ring. Note that between 1980 and early 1987, Ring ranked as many fighters as they saw fit, occasionally going over 20 guys, but often around 15. So that fact that Cooney's opponents were unranked doesn't just mean top-10.
My point proven by you again...... Name calling, highlighted printing. All to hide your incompetence and your cowardice.
Morlocks my post was logical & clear. If it is too complicated for you tell me what part you need clarification on. I do not know if you are unable to understand, or if you repeat an insulting "WTF" with shrill, colorful all caps to avoid dealing with what is embarrassing & undeniable. But I gotta question your sincerity if this is your first language & you act like you cannot deal with or comprehend anything at all.
