    It was a great brawl, but not truly shocking Rocky halted 42 year old Moore in '55 upward near 190 pounds....

    SNV is just too mainstream for classic, BE. You of all people should know that by now?

    Moore's mom claimed Arch was hatched in 1913... Arch claimed 1916.... Who knows? Fact is, by '55, A.M. was 40 give or take....

    If your talking great action fights then the best Ive ever seen is Ali v Frazier III followed by Ali v Frazier I.

    For sheer history, drama, suprise etc... Ali v Foreman was thee one !

    My favorites:

    Ali-Frazier I
    Louis-Baer
    Foreman-Lyle
    Louis-Conn
    Holmes-Norton
    Patterson-Johansson III
    Schmeling-Sharkey I
    Marciano-Walcott I
    Dempsey-Firpo
    Charles-Louis

    there are some others that i wish i had more or some footage of, but those are the ones i've probably watched the most.

    I'd just like to say that Foreman-Ali, as significant as it is... is a ****ing boring ass fight. Not my cup of tea.
