    The guy who got me into boxing - my uncle, who became friendly with Moore later in his life sent me a tape of his first fight against Yvon Durelle, I was probably 6 years old. If you haven't seen the fight then please take the time to watch, this is the fight that probably defines him.

    What are your LHW rankings and where do you have my guy, Mr. Archie Moore?

    Number 1 obviously.

    Then I'd have Michael Spinks.

    Well no disagreement here Dan... May be easiest post and conversation I've ever made.. Haha

    No Bob Foster over Moore? I see a lot of different top 10's with LHW.

    Moore has the most KO's in the history of boxing and held the title longer than anyone in LHW history... So if you have someone ahead, okay... I'll play ball... But please don't say garbage like "by some distance."

    It is by some distance, do your research. No one is saying Moore is bad, he's actually a great ATG.

    Go look up Charles's reign from the 40's all the way to the early 50's. It's unbelievable stuff.

    But Charles is a top 5-7 ATG of all time, Moore is reasonably behind. There's a difference.

    And let's not forget Charles laid Moore out and beat him 3/3 times. :yep

    I love how you have a habit of saying things like "do your research", yet when said research is done and then posted to disprove what you claim to believe, you simply just ignore it and pretend nothing happened.

    When have you ever disproved me? :lol:

    You haven't done enough research on Ezzard if you think Ezzard isn't #1 at LHW. Sorry.

    Well I'll leave you to your delusions. Good day.

    Go read up on what Charles did at LHW. He is #1, and by some distance between him and 2.

    I doubt MVC you've even watched many Charles fights, let alone Moore fights... You seem like the type of guy to watch a 5 minutes highlight of a fighter, do a quit search or listen to a friend and then just regurgitate it and claim you have some great knowledge, which any one who's been into boxing awhile and can read, can clearly see... You have a ways to go my friend.

    Last night, I posted the "proof" you wanted and you just ignored it and then began to comment on other peoples stuff.

    The no existent "I'm not bias against white fighters" which was proved to be untrue after going through your posts and you just ignored it.

    You are the type of guy who claims to know because you depend on people simply believing you and not challenging the knowledge you claim to have.

    Please post any article of GGG making 4 million against Murray, not some B.S non factual site saying he made 5.5 million in a year.

    If I don't get that article, you will get no more responses from me.

    :hi:

    You're telling me he took a 2.5 million paycut?

    If he made 4m, we would have known. Fact is: He didn't

    Stop making **** up, you already lost the argument when you tried to push this in. :rofl

    Give me a source of him making 4 million kiddo. :hi:

    So you think I make websites for a living? I posted the first thing I saw, you just posted what you "think"

    I said clearly, maybe he made the 5.5 another way but that was the absolute only thing I could find about money.

    You failed to mention, again... Your lies about your posts or the fact that GGG had a million more viewers in his last fight than Ward.

    But hey... This is about Moore, what reasons do you have Charles #1... There are several so this shouldn't be hard.

    So absolutely no sources of him making 4 million dollars?

    He's got sources of him making 500k, 800k, 1.5k but when he makes 4 million dollars, there's nothing about it.

    So you're a liar I take it? :lol:

    Alright man, cya.

    In pure MVC fashion, you just ignore everything you can't justify. I told you, now 3 times. I can't find any source for what he made on the Murray fight alone... The only post, I could find, is the post about what he has made so far I 2015. You haven't posted anything to counter it, absolutely nothing. So you either post something or it's a wash.

    I won't even ask you to talk about viewers of Wards last fights, or the fact that you lied about liking and posting about white fighters, cause you'll simple change the subject.

    So back on topic, what reasons do you have to rank Charles #1.
