    What non participants never understand is punching power and durability.

    Boxing is a very simple sport. The guy who lands the most of his punches wins. That’s it.

    the more a boxer fights the harder he is to hurt. That dosnt mean he is improving his chin. Physically developing a tolerance to knockout power. That’s garbage.

    It means he isn’t going into shock every time he gets hit. He isn’t blind to the next punch. He stays aware. He isn’t going to panic and lockup at point of impact.

    So it’s crazy to say this great guy hits harder than that great guy...so he knocks this great fighter right out in the very first round.

    that’s B.S.

    A great fighter is great. He’s great for all time and ready for any situation.

    just because Anything can happen in a ring dosnt mean you can forecast a one round knockout. Just because they happen.

    "Williams might do as well as Duane Bobbick. I think he will keep getting up though." If you weren't referring to a first round KO, then please elaborate what you meant by "Might do as well as Duane Bobbick"

    12-2. Is that what you would consider even? :lol:
    I'm not claiming he was an ATG or anything. I think I'm fair in my assessment of Williams. You on the other hand, take every opportunity to demerit Williams. You even defended the ridiculous notion that Williams was no different after the shooting so you could use his losses when he was a shell of himself to further your agenda. To put it quite simply, you're a joke.
    If you look closer ****nuts, you'll see that I didn't give any option in the poll for a Williams win either because who would come out on top wasn't the debate and therefor irrelevant to the thread. I even denounced it in my opening post.
    It was literally the first sentence. Not sure how someone (even as moronic as you are) could've possibly missed it. Their was already a thread going out on it (the one where you were butthurt because an overwhelming majority picked Williams to KO Norton hence your ridiculous comment) so making another thread on it would've been redundant.

    Tuffy Griffiths vs Bert Cooper. I think that Griffiths could stop Cooper in 1

    I disagree. Liston will make it to the third.

    I'm not saying for sure, but, IMHO, in these 4 match ups between Lineal Heavyweight Champions, it sure wouldn't surprise me if it ended in the first round:
    Mike Tyson - James J. Corbett.
    Mike Tyson - Jack Sharkey
    George Foreman - Floyd Patterson.
    George Foreman - Tommy Burns.
