    Of course there is a group of people for whom the carryover between 1880's Queensberry and 1880's LPR isn't mere speculation, the people involved in them of the period. They don't seem to have considered them different sports.

    Or how about old bareknuckle boxers holding their old against much younger opponents with far more Queensberry fights.

    But nah screw evidence, our semi-literate bro here has it all figured out. He's read some rules and everything

    Agreed...think it has run its course of entertainment value and become a liability - an eyesore marring the respectability of the subforum.

    Do we have any nays from the peanut gallery before I throw on the padlock? Anybody not gotten their piece in yet? Last call.

    Sure .. here is the world recognized , undefeated bareknuckle heavyweight champion Bobby Gunn .. look at how well his bareknuckle skills translate against a 47 year old , blown up middleweight Roy Jones with no knees ..

    Ok, so a 43 year champion competing with no money or talent pool, can't beat a 48 year old former olympian and multiweight ATG pro in one of the biggest and richest talent pool of any. And this proves . . . what exactly about a time when bareknuckle had more prestige than gloved boxing?

    How about Jem Mace Vs Charlie Mitchell, or Mike Donovan Vs Jack Dempsey, or Billy McCarthy Vs Jim Hall?

    I don't know of any modern bareknuckle guys who even use LPR rules either.

    Do you honestly think, if they wanted to, the top gloved boxers couldn't compete with the current top bareknuckle guys, bareknuckle?

    LMAO.

    So you're now accusing me of not having an alt?
    And the supposed historian doesn't know when a single one of these people fought.

    Thought you were too busy pirating films to respond.. Knew that was nonsense as you have not passed on the opp for a spontaneous snarky return in fifteen years. Its your legacy. As far as historian goes, it's a cinch if the barrier of entry is you, a black market peddler and serial cut and paste artist.

    As I suspected. Nothing. Like I said, you might as well add "brain surgeon" to your list of meaningless titles.
