    Rocky had to go through Sam Langford and Jack Dempsey, I would hardly call that rigged! LOLL The only thing I fixed was Rocky not having to fight 167lb Fitzsimmons. He would have been knocked out in 1 round.

    How the hell does James Toney beat a Bob Fitzimmons ? How in heaven does Toney Rank with these great 185 immortals ? Ludicrous methinks...

    A contradiction in terms !
    James Toney was a fine middleweight, but a somewhat bloated 175 pounder.
