Rosenbloom is so much of an enigma that I can't pick for it against him. His record is insanely star studded but also pretty patchy, the thing with him is that he beat the best swarmers, boxers and tacticians of his day, but also lost to them. Meaning it's hard to assess what he did well against, then on top of that, his style is wellllllll... unique. Picture if you will, a high volume master out-boxer, who's style of defence was a back-foot peakaboo guard, who slapped at a high volume. What the **** is that? There's no reference points and to be completely honest, I think it's impossible to assess such a fighter without footage. I shan't vote; but it'd be great fight.
He's certainly better than his record .. I try my best to study the guy's record and he was really out there .. kind of a quirky, barnstorming opponent with world class skills but often seemed to punch in and out .. seemed to be treated often like an opponent .. very often seemed to tire in the second half of ten round bouts which makes me question how hard he trained or how serious he took this after a certain point .. he seemed to take the role of tough opponent supposed to lose in stride asking " can I win this time " .. that said he sure seemed to fight on a even level with the best of a generation, was durable as hell too .. I actually found and posted a short bit if him in the ring sparing from a film when he was still young and he sure looked fast as all hell to me . I posted it here a year or so ago .. will look for it ..
