    That's the kind of statement that should get this sicko banned for life.

    Good list. But, ... Adonis Stevenson???? Guy could dish it out, but, he sure couldn't take return fire. Fitzsimmons would leave Adonis in a heap.

    "Your replies in both the general and classic forums are the internet equivalent of an organ grinding m0nkey on a leash trying to play Haydn."

    I wonder if in his head this is what he thinks is happening:

    Total speculation, but maybe...
    Ezzard Charles
    Roy Jones?

    Maybe Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles was one of the best under 180 he`d give anyone under that weight a run for their money and had the power to knock anyone out under that weight limit.

    I don't see any case for Ketches to be honest. Fitz destroyed better punchers than him in his career.

    Ezzard Charles (15/12)
    Billy Conn (12)
    Marvin Hagler (12/15)
    Gene Tunney (12/15)
    Archie Moore (12/15)
    James Toney (12)
    Roy Jones Jr (12)
    Carlos Monzon (12,15)
    Charley Burley (12/15)
    Tommy Loughran (12/15)

    Bob Foster, Jimmy Bivins and Micheal Spinks have a chance, what fights they would make.

    For all this talk about lack of jab, Fitz actually showed quite hard and stiff jab in some occasions. He didn't try to outjab Corbett because that wouldn't work, but he showed flashes of it.

    In other fights he seemed to use it more often to set up his power punches.
