    I never said Moore was prime but he wasn't old and past it. He was very much in the game and it was still a good win. 32 year old Marciano was not prime and managed to knock Moore out in 9 where it took a prime young Floyd 5. Again, Moore had just won his first title a few years earlier so he wasn't past it. Don't forget that Moore was in great physical condition which is a much better indicator if a fighter is past it or not.

    I honestly don't know and don't care it just shouldn't happen. What did he even do? From what I have read a guy took what was his and he told the dudes woman he was cheating in ode to get the tv back. Hardly "sick and twisted". rez was being nice to the guy from the sound of it, in my neighborhood if you don't even so much as give the guy a beating then that puts a big target on your back for other robberies.

    You can talk about the information I volunteered. Just like I can criticize you for being an idiot and distorting the information.

    You know what I consider off limits? People who attack me for no reason.

    Stop insulting people at random. And they won't talk about your family.

    It's a simple solution that has a high success rate.

    It isn't fun at all.

    Thanks man. Finally, some perspective that's actually sane.

    And yeah I don't have too many problems with other people.
    This was a unique encounter with some messed up guy. I used it as a referential example, and this old fart is limping through hoops to use it against me.

    Anyways, this whole thing is blown way out of proportion lol.
    I'm here for boxing!!

    Soooooooo

    I think Norton wrecks Galento and stops him.

    Norton is one of the most dedicated body punchers in history and a fat mess like Galento can't take the sustained body attack for 15 rounds.

    On top of that, as he ducks in and walks into those overhand haymakers he's gonna double the impact.

    There is a chance Galento lands a bomb the way Shavers did. I think there's more of a chance it doesn't happen.

    Your argument falls down because it is built on the premise that because Moore had won the light heavyweight title in 1952 He must have still been prime in1955 when he challenged Marciano for the heavyweight title.What you are not taking into account is Moore was the .
    Number 1 contender for the LHvy title in 45
    Number3 in 46
    Number2 in 47
    Number 3 in 48
    Number 2 in49
    Number 1 in50
    Number2 in 51
    Lesnevich was the champion from 45/47
    Mills from48/49
    Maxim from 50 until 52, whenMoore finally got a title shot.

    Moore could have won the Lhvy crown as early as 1945 which is ten years before he challenged Marciano!
    Indeed when he finally succeeded in getting a lightheavyweight champion into the ring[Maxim in1952] and dethroned him his cornermen began to celebrate when the decision in his favour was announced lifting him up in the air .Moore quickly stopped them saying."Turn me loose.Don't do that. just slip my robe on my shoulders.Be cool don't get excited .There's nothing to get excited about.I could have won this thing twelve years ago.This is nothing new to me.Be cool." And I buttoned my robe up. He said "aint you happy champ?I said this is somethingI should have gotten years ago".
    Is there anyone who would have picked Lesnevich in1945 or Mills in1948 to successfully defend their titles against Moore of those years. That is 10 years before he challenged Marciano!

    Further opinion on Moore's prime is forthcoming from Moore himself.
    Recalling the Marciano fight he said this.
    "Marciano got to me by sheer bulldogging ruggedness and continuous grinding.I hit Rocky Marciano some shots a that would have taken the head off of the average guy,but he kept piling up on top of me,and finally you understand when he got me in a position where he could hit me,then it wasn't long before I had to crumple up,because I had no legs.Probably I hadn't any legs for the past 4 or 5 years."
    Taken from a taped interview in Moore's San Diego home,in October 1970. So insummarry the factthat Moore won the lhvy title in1952 is not an indicator he was in his prime,it is an indicator of just how good he was in his prime several years earlier!

    He has told the story 3 times now ,each time due to negative reaction, he has embellished it ,from he wouldn't give the tv back ,to I went round there and took it.
    If anyone stole from me and I knew their address I would be kicking
    their front door in at the earliest opportunity,taking back my property and giving him something to remember me by. Phoning their family up and making poisonous calls would never occur to me ,but hey different strokes for different folks!
    Bottom line as you Yanks say he punked out and resorted to a cowardly method of revenge, that caused distress and hurt to an innocent party, that's his way .okay move on.
    My personal problem with him is him twice making sexual / derogatory remarks about my wife.If anyone here thinks that is acceptable then in my book their gutless c*nts too.
    In my neighbourhood if you make derogatory remarks about some one's family you can expect to get knocked down and your face stamped on,and that is what would have happened if this little weasel had been facing me instead of making his remarks from the safety of his PC.
    I hope I have clearly stated my position if anyone wants further clarification I suggest they pm me and we can then leave this here.

    Dumbass, this isn't contradictory. These are two events, separated by a phenomena known as time.

    Lol, you wouldn't touch me in person. The safety of the PC is the reason you can keep annoying healthy young men with physical threats without any repercussion.

    I'm a very powerful hitter. I think I would literally kill you with my first punch. So I don't think we would be fighting.

    Tony Galento vs Ken Lakusta would be a better fight.

    I've said all I need to, arguing with wannabee kids who have never had a boxing contest in their lives isn't my idea of a fruitful conversation.You stick your chest out and then make those phone calls.
    ps There is nothing "healthy" about you.lol
