10 greatest title reigns

[BKM-]

I know what you say is true Yaman; it's just that some of these guys are just so freaking irritating. They're the equivalent of itching powder in the crotch with some of the rediculous things they post.

lol You're right bro. In the past I also got caught up in flame wars but I learned it's best to let it be. That's why I like your use of the ignore button. No nonsense, I won't waste my time with trolls type of attitude.
Anyway, how has it been around here lately?

The usual lol! I actually got banned for a week for flaming out a couple of trolls. Mixed bag really: Good posts from the ones we expect them from and insiped nimrodism from the usual suspects.

That's a fight I'd interested to see too. By all accounts Galento's tactics would have made Greb and Zivic blush. Here's an article on it by Ted Luzzi, AmatoBoxingSite:

I did some research on this and found this:

This two-reel fight film is a condensation of the Joe Louis-Bob Pastor heavyweight championship bout at Detroit Stadium. The fight took place on September 20th, and the film was out of the soup and ready for theatrical distribution five days later. After 10 grueling rounds, Pastor went down for the count in the 11th, courtesy of Louis' powerful right hook. So as not to miss any vital action, producer Jack Dietz used two cameras to cover the action, anticipating TV techniques by nearly ten years. The Louis-Pastor Fight was released hot on the heels of the 2-reel version of Tony Galento-Lou Nova bout in Philadelphia; both films cleaned up at the box-office. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I have never seen the film myself but it does exist.

I didn't miss him my man, "The Ring" did. How do you think his title reign stacks up against the fighters listed? For sure he was the best ever at 122, but what do you think of his comp and such?

#1 is alright with me, how come Calzaghe isn't there?

Joe Gans had 17 title defenses, and a lot of non-title fights while he was champ from 1902 to 1908. A lot of record books say he relinquished title in 1904 when he fought welterweight champ Joe Walcott, which is false. (Gans won 14 of 20 rounds vs Walcott, according to the newspapers.) Gans also beat welterweight and middleweight title claimant Mike "Twin" Sullivan while he was lightweight champ.

Mark, since you have written a book about Gans and have obviously studied other fighters of that era Im curious as to what you think about the skill level, toughness and stamina of those men compared to fighters today. Appreciate your time.

I'd have Gomez in there.


I also think that Calzaghe's reign is better than given credit for, one big part of that being Mikkel, I really thought Kessler was a great fighter and nearing the p4p lists.
