    Marciano stopped Archie Moore while Jaco has the distinction of stopping Razor Ruddock. Could Jaco also stop Marciano?

    I'm ashamed I voted in the poll therefore giving it credence.

    Hey Swag, that’s a good question. :lol: Early days yet but it’s neck and neck atm.

    I’m going to duly push Rock another vote ahead.

    Be warned though - there’s an army of loyal Jaco followers out there wanting to be heard.

    You know who didn’t beat Donovan Ruddock?

    Rocky Marciano.

    I had to go with Big Dave here.

    Swag promised me a cheque - I still have faith that at least one of the many already promised will one day arrive.

    @My dinner with Conteh

    I see you voted for a draw.

    JT told me quietly that you’re big on defence.

    Sitting on de fence that it is. Be mindful of splinters. :lol:

    Is that not the worst joke ever? I love it!

    6’6”, - that’s one inch on legendary Wepner - do you think Jaco has Chuck’s measure also - but only just?

    Nah. Nobody beats the almighty Chuck Wepner.. nobody. Just look at how fast Sonny Liston retired after getting a taste of the Bayonne Bleeder. And after a young film writer saw what Wepner did to Muhammad Ali he went strait home and launched one of the greatest movie making careers of all time. Wepner definitely put Bayonne NJ on the map as a boxing Mecca and is responsible for making the sport as widely known as it is through his life story on film.. I rank wepner p4p higher than Robinson, Armstrong, pep, Moore or any of those guys…
