If you could "Gift *'' one boxer from history..

Robbi - might've been LHW champ with Roy's roids.

 

Give Oleg Maskaev George Chuvalo's chin.

 

Should I gift Ketchel a bullet proof vest or John Henry Lewis eyes?

 

How about giving Sam Langford the opportunity to compete without a color line in place?

 

Greb on modern steroids would have been killing people. A guy that fought as often as he did would very much benefit from the faster recovery time that steroids promote.

 

I understand the assignment.


...But I am still going to deviate and say that if I could get one fighter a Christmas gift, it would be a sports-themed tie. Not the stuff that you specified. And the tie would be for Galento or Marciano.

 

I would gift Sam Langford the love he never got.

 

Honestly NONE,

I'd rather 'gift' fighters of the last 40 years or so with a decade long tenure into the 1940s...

that would determine first off, what actual weight division(s) they'd peak at and finish at, how they would fair with double & triple the amounts of fights and the level of competition they would have actually faced in their prime years...

the only 'modern' gift I would allow would be modern film & film preservation so we could see it like it actually was and not lost or poor remaining footage.

it would genuinely be an entirely different career stats for many.

 

That’s not the only XXXL neck Galento was working with, is my understanding. Oh, I know; nobody wants to think about it but I think they definitely should confront their feelings about that now or at some point but the earlier the better is my feeling. Not an extra long but more of a choad situation.
