    Is this a serious question ? If it is let me answer. Carmen Basillio was one helluva tough welterweight champion no doubt. Easily as tough a WW as Rocky Marciano was a heavyweight. But at MW, Carmine was old and past his best who lost to Gene Fullmer twice and Paul Pender,After which Basillio retired. I think the much bigger true MW GGG kos the smaller Carmine without much trouble...Anyone Golovkin can hit he kos and in Basillio he has a smaller past peak welterweight who he hits and stops...GGG is the real thing. Never floored in over 300 amateur bouts and 30 pro fights, with tremendous power in the body and head, GGG might be a great alltime
    middleweight in my estimation...

    GGG sees the immovable object, switches to his rarely seen, yet still existent slick gear, survives a KD and a few additional frights, and wins a hard fought, close and hotly contested split decision over Basilio.
    Upon hearing the judges' decision, the crowd cheers Basilio and boos Golovkin.
    Then Basilio knocks him out cold in the rematch and leaves no doubt regarding the identity of the true man.
    If Vince Phillips KOd Kostya Tszyu, just imagine what a blue collar top shelf product of dire straight's times like Basilio would have done to that poor man's imitation of Tszyu.
    The **** eroticists should find a more deserving subject to their craves.

    No no, he is more likely to be on crack.

    But I actually quite enjoyed that mad post.

    I remember MRBILL who used to frequently post while high on crystal meth.

    A great poster, he's probably dead by now.

    This thread has really amused me with a short amount of posts ... mission accomplished.

    Frank shows that he is the only one with eyes to see. The rest of us merely watch.

    also I'm still stuck in blue and white.
