    I assume you are talking to me? Since you are not astute or nimble enough with enough dexterity in your fingers to hit or click a reply button? Anyway if so I also assume you are speaking of me rating a certain Philly (one armed fighter? It is easier to regurgitate nonsensical rhetoric than to observe and analyze a fighter but we can save that for another day and thread) HW?

    please quote my post where I have said this? Please find a post where I rate him even in the top 5? I will wait....at least try and be accurate when disparaging another poster! Thanks again for your much valued input!

    Joe Frazier was a perfect example of a one armed fighter. Of course you need to understand boxing terminology to grasp this statement as a fact. This was very well known and very well understood fact.

    Not so much strange as trivial and counterintuitive:

    It seems to me that when two fighters of roughly the same age with comparable records are matched, but one looks so ripped he may well be juicing and the other just looks like a marginally athletic average Joe who takes decent care of himself, about 60-70% of the time it’s the super ripped guy who loses.

    Could very well be pure perception but in any case it strikes me as a minor oddity.

    It is strange that Baer always claimed to be holding something back, right? Makes you wonder

    "And suddenly it is over!" 7th rd. Great mag. Correct prediction. Great pics OGrady-Ganigan Coob-Mercado "that son of a ***** was willing to die tonight and it almost killed me!"
    Rodriguez-Bumphis pics. Great mag man.

    Exactly p! No more fantasy fights between real weight guys and day before giants. Not fair.

    Alrite I think most will find my opinions strange
    Lewis Marciano Johnson and BHop are overrated
    Frazier had a very sneaky rt hand especially the rt uppercut to the body.
    Holmes had the best left jab in the history of boxing
    Matt Franklin and Bobby Chacon were toughest men I ever saw.
    Duran is arguably the GOAT
    Dempsey beats everybody bare knuckle

    I've not always thought this; in fact I have only recently come to form the opinion, that...

    ...on the 27th of September 1986, in Atlantic City, no Welterweight, past or present, would have beaten Lloyd Honeyghan.
