    He had all time talent, but he lost some good prime years because of the war. He is a hard one to rank vs other atg middleweight champs.

    Of course he is...until certain generations come along...and relegate these warriors to the trash bins of history! Of course Andy Ruiz could beat the Jack Dempsey of Toledo.....of course David Tua...(who did NOTHING)...could destroy the Joe Louis of the second Schmeling fight in 1938...David Haye?.....he walks thru Rocky Marciano!!! Amazing!!! Why?...because....(here it comes...)...they''re BIGGER!!!
