    The hero of boxing who fought undefeated Rick Lanas to a standstill
    vs
    The bum who got TKO'd by a smaller past prime Lennox Lewis

    4 rounds because any more would bore the peanut gallery. Crumble has footage of shadowboxing right before the fight and he looks pretty good. Crumble also gets modern training over the dinosaur from the 2000s in Vitali. Crumble, with the modern training, comes in at 450lbs and it totally isn't fat or anything. Has Vitali even taken a punch from a 450lbs fighter?

    Vitali wins the first round, then quits on his stool

    Old timers like Vitali didn't have any stamina or heart. Because of our evolution we're better at not quiting. I mean, look at Jess Willard. He quit on the stool after 3 rounds, smh.

    ESB used to have a lounge for these type of threads. To the Mod's what ever happened to the Lounge?

    These type of threads to me have nothing to due with the history or discussion of classic boxing and should be moved.

    My $.02

    Hey, I'm not for censorship but I am for respecting what each forum is about.

    Maybe we can all agree with a sticky odd ball type of thread for those who talk about Butterbean vs Chuck Wepner.

    Others would rather avoid seeing such titles. With a confined thread for the odd ball stuff posters won't have to read new silly titles appearing every week unless they seek it out.

    Mods?

    I actually think Butterbean vs Wepner would be a legitimate thread.

    There's no rule that says we're restricted to discussing the absolute best fighters of the era.
