Question about Rocky Graziano?

so what about henry brimm? a peak SSR drew with him. rocky knocked brimm out.

 

There are plenty of fighters who didn´t fight at their lowest possible weight for different reasons. Money maybe one of them.

I know ther was no lmw division then. I used that to express that Graziano was no big mw himself. He did not have a LaMotta-like advantage over his opponents.

So, Zale´s wins aren´t worth anything then by your logic.

:good

 

Yes i agree , that on a historical level he would not rank well at all...
But as a dispenser of excitement, the young [pre Zale] Graziano was the
most viscerally thrilling fighter i ever saw.By far.
With young Rocky you didn't need a referee, the warden would do...

 

Hey burt, I´m wondering, did you ever see Lew Jenkins fighting?

 

Never saw Lew when he WASN'T fighting...in the street, in the bar, you name it. His right hand had a mind of it's own.

 

lew jenkins was a bright shining star:good

 

No, a little before my time. But I have heard he was a "bag of bones",
who was a murderous puncher,especially with his laser right hand.
My dad who drove a cab in NY picked Lou Ambers leaving MSG in 1941,after Jenkins kod the rugged Ambers,for the second time. Ambers
kept muttering to his handler, "i aint got it no more ".It was Lou Ambers last fight and he was only kod twice in 100 bouts, both by Lew Jenkins.

 

lew jenkins was named wildest boxer ever in the ring magazine a few years ago.thats some going:good

 

Alcohol and motorcycles were his undoing..Fritzie Zivic ,no shrinking
violet himself said after fighting Lew Jenkins, " Lew Jenkins could start
a fight in an empty room ".Tough ******* was LEW !

 

Now that is an all-time quote!!!...

 

Thanks guys, he seems to be one of the most interesting characters in boxing. His part in "in this corner" was the most entertaining IMO.

 

jenkins and zivic.2 choir boys i don't think
