    This is your response ? Don't you think sometimes it's better to let legitimate points score than give in to a need retaliate every time, even with such hanging curve balls ? (American expression for setting yourself up to be badly rebuffed) . I mean, really ...

    Talk about paper thin skin .:patsch

    Do you go around waiting/expecting, to be insulted?

    You mention Johnson's 74" reach and the prospect of Norton out jabbing him , I reply, who ever out- jabbed Johnson ?
    I ask ,who was in front between Johnson and Willard with his telescopic reach?
    I say Burns had longer arms than Johnson, yet was handled like a child
    You call that retaliation?
    I call it the obvious response .
    If someone said a big puncher would ko Ali ,I would respond ,why didn't the other big punchers manage it?
    This seems logical to me,and its not retaliation ,retaliation is a verbal or physical reaction to some hurt or liberty being taken with you, none have been taken with me. My response is called a rebutall.
    I'm not sure you are cut out for debate, it appears to unduly upset you .
