    The only way the ref helped Jones was not letting Ruiz clinch Jones 20 times a round like a homo.Jones busted Ruiz nose and beat his a$$ for 12 rounds.

    Jones


    That wasn't an ass whipping. This was an ass whipping.

    Unfortunately for Roy after moving back down to 175 and sqeaking past Antonio Tarver once, he got a lot of ass whippings.

    And the fact that Loughran was a one armed left jab artist without any power and he was still there at the finish.
    I guess Primo was scared to unleash his power upon him.

    amazing speed against a shot man months shy of 40.

    what a fine choice of video to parody the point trying to be made.

    I think that he could probably do it around the light heavyweight limit.

    Add Bob Fitzsimmons too! Bob Satterfield? Adonis Stevenson?

    Bob Fitzsimmons possibly.

    Bob Satterfield could, but I don't think that he would.

    Adonis Stevenson we would want to see more of him against bigger fighters before we named him as a candidate.

    Carnera was dropped by Stribling.

    Satterfield has been mentioned. Yes, I can see him handling Carnera off his performance against Valdes.

    I would favor Archie Moore.

    Off the film of his fight with Sharkey, Walker might be able to upset Carnera.

    Greb is not on film, but he seems to have been somewhat better than Walker, so I have to give him a shot.

    Fitz definitely has a shot. His power is exactly what is needed.

    Frankly, it is easy for me to imagine Sugar Ray Robinson outpointing Carnera.
