    after months of arguing Dempsey over Marciano when tallying your top 3 under 200 pounders you add a SPACE between Dempsey and Marciano? lmao

    that is classic mcvey,,,,,

    Dempsey

    Marciano
    Langford

    So Marciano is your second best under 200lb boxer.
    That's pretty darn good Mcvey.

    Who is the space for :p

    Plus didn't some dude named "fireman Flynn" beat the stuffing out of Dempsey :hey

    No further explanation of their legendary status necessary. Like any other legend, what they did in the ring usually explains it. :good

    My question to you was about your individual liking of Dempsey. Since you say it is natural for people to root along racial identity lines, I was wondering whether you acknowledge or admit to doing that with Dempsey. You answer was in the negative, which I suspect would be true of the vast majority of Dempsey fans. :good

    I think Sam Langford should perhaps be rated above Dempsey and Marciano.
    Look at the extensive resume. His body of work is immense in comparison.

    But if the rating is simply head-to-head, I guess any order can be argued.

    No I root for Jack because he was white, I hate blacks. Also stumpy bald Italians.

    Marciano was the last white American Heavyweight Champ, I believe that may be significant to his standing today.
    If you disagree, have a trawl back to Holmes' reign and the coverage Gerry ****ey got compared to the defending champion.

    Christ! The thought of you endorsing one of my posts leaves me with cold shivers! So glad it will never happen.

    Sparring hardly compares to getting knocked out in 1 round in a real pro fight by a 37 year old fighter , and needed to be carried back to your corner

    Dempsey getting knocked out in 1 round by fireman Flynn is equivalent to Marciano being knocked out in 1 by Lee savold

    McVea you get excited watching Dempsey beat up on hopeless lumberjacks.

    Do you get excited watching Marciano beat up on highly skilled ring artists?
