    So in what fights he looks comparably bad to the worst lineal champions and why? What were his strengths and weaknesses?

    So you don't have convincing arguments?

    Wouldn't it be better to go with what wikipedia says about him, approximatley: "when he was having a good night he was a good fighter, when he was having a bad night he looked awful". I was not impressed with him, but he looked pretty good against Carnera in the first fight.

    True, Maloney fight is also nice. Phil Scott one too and he looked very good against Dempsey until illegal KO.

    No, not frustrated at all. You don't use any arguments, so why should I be frustrated? I'm just pointing out that your strange hate of Sharkey doesn't make any sense. He was a fine champion and he was lineal one, not "mediocre paper champion". You're comparing his resume to Leon Spinks or Jim Braddock which proves that you don't know anything about him.

    Hold on....word from the commission. This bout is postponed
    Igamar Johannson is gonna need more to to recover from the beating he received from Cleveland William's. Stay tuned.

    In other news Cleveland Williams says his hands are still sore from the beating he administered to Johannson.

    Are you kidding? If Floyd made his foot twitch, Cleve would have his whole body twitching. It's called Parkinson's.
