    I can't give props to Gans all based on his record when his footage looks like ****. I don't even think highly of Marciano either, but there's good footage of him looking solid and strong. One guy's record is full of asterisks for beating up old men and the other's is full of question marks 'cause you've never seen him fight.

    I suppose someone has to ask the obvious, so it might as well be me. Wtf have you put Leonard in with " authentic legends "

    I would say he beat four authentic legends in his career.
