The match that would've dwarfed the $'s of Pac-Mayweather

Once again i cannot argue there! the old timers i knew growing up talk about that like it was when JFK, MLK or Malcolm X got shot . . . the earth stood still

 

That´s for sure but I don´t get the hypocrisy there. Htiler´s party was largely fund by American money. His rise to power would not have been possible without this power. The, or some, Americans where sympathetic with his goals and others wanted him as a wall against Sovietrussia.
And on the other hand the masses wanted to see Hitler getting humilated.

 

Which actually means nothing. PPV is one of the reason boxing is on it´s way down in the US.

 

Leonard/Duran 1......... 2 polar opposites in life & style, it also would have been a global phenom in PPv revenue.

Style vs Substance or Good vs EVIL

A deff for 100K live gate at the Cowboys Stadium.

 

Just like Mosley last Saturday, Schmeling was past his prime against Louis.

 

I agree, what with the political & racial overtones of the day back in the 30's then Louis-Schmeling II is without doubt the most significant from a modern day global perspective.

Leonard/Duran I.... i've chosen for it's working class vs middle class establishment factor.

 

Yes, Louis-Schmeling II would have done an unbelievable box office.

 

I read somewhere, he was not a Nazi. A good guy that Schmeling

 

Yeah, I know. I would have loved to live through the buzz this fight must have generated albeit not as a German but as an American.

Probably the best person to ever lace them up. I could bring on many examples to prove it but I don´t have the time to do so.

 

Thats correct as the majority of germans were'nt either but we all go by the public face of a country as a representation of a nationality so Schemeling = Hitler....As JG said.. A jingoistic promoters dream!
