    Yeah maybe. On the other hand, cooney an Tua had to fight Holmes an Lewis, 2 of the greatest heavyweight champs ever in their title shots while Baer had to fight canera who definitely was not one of the greats. Switch it around , you gotta say that both Cooney and Tua would have have a great chance of beating Carnera while Baer even at his best would have been hard pushed to upset both Holmes or Lewis

    You are spot on, However Robinson and LaMotta were a step above just bullying and beating women though… Jake especially, Jake isn’t someone I’d ever keep company with… it’s funny whose labels sticks huh? Muhammad Ali was in a spaceship worshipping racist murder cult and was not a “real” Muslim but more of a member in the Manson family lol or a prison gang - to me it makes him more interesting but folks wanna call him a civil rights hero instead…

    We have freedom of speech and freedom of religion and freedom of belief in this country.

    I don’t care if you worship a cinnamon roll that you think you see Jesus in, you’re not harming anyone by belonging to a belief system.

    That’s a far cry from beating someone (Ray, Jake, Tyson and, now, allegedly Max) or raping someone (Jake, who had I think it was a 13-year-old turning tricks for him, so also a pedo; plus Mike and, now, allegedly Max) or murdering someone (Monzon) or forcing someone to have an abortion (Max, allegedly). Those are ACTIONS. I don’t care what any of the above believed or what church they belonged to … their actions are beyond reprehensible.

    Well tbf Ali was very intimate and funding said racist murder cult which was just originally a prison gang that’s not exactly attending church and donating on Sunday… Ali also beat his women and was accused of impregnating an underaged girl. LaMotta is going to hell if it exists for sure :lol: for his sake I hope he was an atheist. I wish every boxer was just an Archie Moore…

    For all of Liston’s flaws, his wife never mentioned him hitting her.
