    He was a very good fighter actually yes. I don't remember right off if he has that big a boast but I did write up a thread on him some time ago in classic and I was fairly impressed with the man.

    Hen the Game Chicken just has an unfortunate name for modern fans. His story holds weight in the history of boxing.

    The Orchid Man - George Carpentier (still he nearly beat Dempsey despite being a lower weight class)

    Found an old HOF inductee book and when I saw that nickname I just knew I was bringing something new here...wrong again! Not 101 boxing, advanced knowledge to you sir!

    Always like Smokin' Joe Frazier, and the Raging Bull/Bronx Bull Jake LaMotta

    Also, Big George Foreman... Exactly what it says on the tin, he's just a big guy trying to hit you and hurt you! Always made me laugh with the simplicity of it
