I agree, McTigue earned the title with a victory over Siki who had anihilated Carpentier and also holds a win over Tommy Loughran. Admittedly he wasn't great but to put him amongst the worst is unfair IMO.
abit outlandish IMO i think Claderon is a quality operater and a top fighter P4P today. i agree i say boxing as we know it started in the 20s i only rank fighters from the 20s onwards in top 100 lists. In all fairness he wasnt a world champ he just held a world title. someone like Leon Spinks was a world champ :good as it should be
redcords mean jack **** if you dont know about opponents and the fighter himself. Sharkey was a good fihgt
Sharkeys record on boxrec tells two stories. One that he was verry inconsistant but another in that he fought and indeed beat more ranked contenders than just about any other heavyweight champion. You can't hold his inconsistancy agaionst him without giving him some credit for hios level of opposition.
John Ruiz. Everything that was wrong with this guy holding a championship belt, is even worse for the sport now, especially with him pathetically and feebly calling out other heavyweight fighters. He's like a broken record that can't be broken for good. Someone please bust the stereo with this guys tune on it and retire him forever. John Ruiz is worse than the blackest of black eyes for heavyweight boxing.
abit harsh on him he fouhgt good against was it N'Dou for the vacant title that was his only half decent perforamce he looks odd aswell he looks like a tattie
Haha, i don't mean that in any disrespectful way towards his boxing ability, i mean i genuinely just finf him funny to watch fighting (call me strange), and i mean the N'Dou fight, i was just laughing my ass off at him running in getting shots off and getting back out, what a legend, credit to him.
hes one tough cookie one fighter who makes me laugh is Bobby Chacon one minute hes hurt the next minute his opponent is hurt its madness
Madness, haha. Yeah Rees just makes me laugh so much it's weird, he was uneatable when he win that alphabet title, all time great performance.
