    Russell and Mcvey, please take it easy. The classic forum is one of the last places that people can have a civilized argument on ESB these days. I myself made the mistake of engaging in debate with some jagoff named Widdow the other day, and the little **** started a poll based on hatred against me.

    Please be the bigger people...

    I saw that poll,I only went on there at your suggestion,and now he doesnt like me either! Love the way you extend the hand of peace by calling him a little c**t.It seems Ive a few haters Russell wants to **** on my grave at my funeral.I wonder is that a variation on the banned dvd "I Spit On Your Grave"?ps what is a jagoff? is it a masturbator? I,m Engrish as Russell will tell you.

    Well, I wouldn't **** on your grave McVey, and as for Widdow, he deserved to be called a **** after what he did, and I'm sure you don't care what he calls you either.

    Forget about this yound Stribling ****. Who cares? I appreciate your participation on the Louis thread. This stuff is just pure nonsense. If it makes you feel any better, you can **** on MY grave. I don't care if you have diarhea when you do it either.

    Stribling was a very good fighter, though a small heavyweight.

    I think that he would fight well against Louis, until Joe started to
    land his heavy punches.

    I think that Stribling was a better all-around fighter than Bob Pastor,
    Tony Galento, Jack Roper, Gus Dorazio and a few other fighters that
    got title fights.

    Still, I think that Louis wins.

    I agree Stribling was a very good fighter,my point was that his punch is overated on the basis of the amount of kos he ammased,if you take the time to look at his record you will see most of them were over third raters,he toured the hick towns ,where he would challenge all comers ,his chauffeur would step up to the plate get kod and they would move on to the next town,as his driver foughtunder various different names ,its hard to quantify how many times Stribling pulled this stunt,you have to look at the record and sift the wheat from the chaff so to speak,there are some very colourful names among his victims.
    Stribling was a brave fighter,he took a hiding from Schmeling,before being kod,but his power ,and possibly his durability are overated ,imo,he only met one real hitter ,and he was knocked out,Mendoza states that Stribling had a better chin than Tommy Farr,I would dispute that as Farr met Joe Louis and Max Baer twice ,both better punchers than Schmeling ,and neither kod him.

    Please explian why Farr was knocked out by 4 no-names, and not one no-name KO'd Stribling. Stribling has one KO loss in many fights, and it took Schmeling in his prime 15 rounds to do it.

    Right I will try .Farr was kod by Danny Andrews in 6 rds 1928
    Evan Lane 5 rds 1928
    tkod by Josh Sullivan 7 rds 1930
    These were boxing booth fights and Farr was 15 ,15, and 17 years old.
    He was next kod by Frank Bell 2 rds 1951
    tkod by Don Cockell 7 rds 1953
    Farr was 38 ,when he met Bell in the throes of a very much needed come back after being retired for 10 years ,he was broke,he was over 40 when Cockell tkod him.OK? Farr met 3 world heavyweight Champions Braddock,Louis and Baer ,the latter two rank as two of the biggest ,if not the biggest hitters of all time ,neither stopped Farr,the only big hitter Stribling faced kod him ..
