    i'm all over frazier here.

    i think he'd wear tunney out and win going away, tunney had a lot of good attributes, just a bad matchup for him

    Once and for all here is what I posted,it's taken directly from Box Rec.
    I didn't lie and I didn't delete anything.
    You're beginning to get up my nose now, you deluded moron.

    "Veteran Zora Folley gave young Karl Mildenberger a boxing lesson Friday night but the judges evened it up and called it a draw - a verdict that stunned most of the 12,000 fans that jammed the Messehalle here to watch the two highly ranked heavyweights in what was billed as an elimination match. Folley carved out cuts under Mildenberger's eyes and repeatedly scored with solid left jabs and straight right hands over the southpaw efforts of the German challenger. By the end of the 7th round Mildenberger had cuts under both eyes while Folley bled from the nose as a result of Mildenberger's left. Referee Otto Nispel took it upon himself to stop the fight time and again to warn Folley on butting and in the 8th round Nispel stopped the fight while he took Mildenberger to his corner and wiped the blood off his face so a doctor could come to the ringside and examine the cuts. Mildenberger, although clearly outclassed, never stopped trying and absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment from the American. He was still trying gamely in the 9th and 10th while Folley was content to coast and that was all the judges seemingly needed." -European Stars & Stripes

    • Unofficial Stars & Stripes scorecard - 7-2-1 Folley
    • The UPI reported that Folley, "appeared to have the upper hand against his 26 year old opponent." While the AP reported that Folley, "appeared to have piled up a good margin. He gave the German a battering in the 7th and 8th rounds."

    Post fight comments

    • "When the referee stopped the fight to examine the cuts, that gave Mildenberger time to recuperate." -Bill Swift, Folley's manager, claiming that Folley had hurt Mildenberger with a flurry of hard shots to the head just before the referee intervened. "
    Klompton has seen the fight and differs in his opinion as to how it unfolded.Because I haven't seen the fight I have accepted his opinion, .
    Now if you want to continue hostilities just carry on, and I'll rip you a new rectum you inarticulate,illiterate clown
    Personally I think you're ,"knitting with only one needle."

    Rasta Borat thanks for the "clearification ". We stand corrected regarding this phantom that you allude but refuse to link!
    Thank you for your patience. Good road.

    I would really like to be able to compare what Rasta Borat believes he is saying compared to his actual posts. However, unfortunately one of them is theoretical.

    This. Yeah, Tunney is a heck of a pure boxer. A couple inches taller and 15 good lbs heavier, and it gets really interesting...but there are some dudes you just don't want to fight as the lighter man, and Joe Frazier is one of them.

    I think that Tunney was smarter and more self-disciplined than Ali.

    I can accept that, but would he be resilient enough to take the kind of shots that Ali did.
    I just cannot see Tunney keeping Frazier off over the distance.
