Who would you like to have a sit down chat with, and be able to get an honest answer to your questions. My list. 1) Sonny Liston 2) Jack Dempsey 3) Jack Johnson 4) Rocky Marciano 5) Sugar Ray Robinson
Midget...Bobcat...the Worm...Gypsy Joe....sounds like a biker gang! Throw in Cyclone, Boogaloo, Kitten and Bad Bennie. Sounds like a group of gents you don't wanna cross! Some of Philly's finest:smoke
Len Harvey - pure class, all round. Lloyd Marshall - one of the best, period! Robert Villimain - the Proof fighter; Proof TOP Overseas fighters were just as real. Theo Medina - Hard Nut, the French Gypsie Archie Moore - the Epitome of a fighter.
interesting question , original 1 , never thought about it but i will now .. i guess i have 2 think about it more as it's very hard 2 come with such a list because i already know most of d answers 2 my questions so far . what interests me @ d moment is what was Rosario's hindrance against Chavez , and my guess is that it was not Chavez . I wonder which 1 of them knows d answer . But despite it interests me , i guess there r other things that i simply haven't recalled them yet . Honest interviews with Ali , Louis , Schmelling , RJJ , Ray Leonard would've surprised many but not myself , Leonard unlike d rest partially admits some of those facts 2day , but ppl still ignore his admissions . Same with Holmes . Imagine Holmes admitting that he thumbed Shavers & Holyfield on purpose , Duran admitting that he fouled Moore & Buchanan intentionally , Ali admitting d importance of them ropes & heat in Zaire , d smelling salts & extra time vs Cooper , d judges' gifts against Chuvalo , Jones & Norton , his intentional thumbing of Terrell , how shot Cleveland Williams was against him and that that fights means & always meant nothing and that Williams wasn't that good even in his prime anyway ,, etc , This content is protected But i m uncertain about who r my top 5 4 this matter , nor even 6 . Sam Langford , Harry Greb & Archie Wright might have surprised myself as well but not as much as it would surprise others , but those others would have ignored them renovations anyway , they were just examples , i m sure there r more .
Dempsey Greb Liston SRR Johnson ,[I don't know how successful I would be with Jack though, he usually told you what you wanted to hear.]
I would probably interview the pre-1930s black fighters mostly, because they usually had to work the hardest to make it in the fight game. As such it's reasonable to conclude that they were studying the game the closest and would be able to give the most lucid overview of their fistic contemporaries. George Dixon Joe Walcott Joe Gans Tiger Flowers Sam Langford Throw in Dave Holly, Jack Blackburn, Peter Jackson and Kid Norfolk. If I threw some caucasian fighters: Ike Weir Terry McGovern Young Griffo Harry Greb Nonpareil Jack Dempsey Overall I've tried to stick with guys that we don't have any extensive interviews with(both lists).
