    A nice read on The Harlem harlequin... better known to youse as "Slapsie Maxie.

    Concussive power is the ultimate equalizer in boxing; It can rescue a fighter from the jaws of defeat. Look no further than Randall Bailey’s victory over Mike Jones in 2012. Bailey was down on all scorecards in the eleventh round and looked to be heading home beltless. That is until he completely turned the tide…


    When Maxie went to fight hambone all his senses told him to be careful, as Rosenbloom was later to say: "Something was not Kosher."

            Without a doubt Slapsie has to be the guy with the lowest ko/ most wins Ratio

              That was fun does this guy have more of these? I hit subscribe I will check him out.

              Of course half the time I am thinking of qualifier after another that he isn't addressing but that is the nature of stats.

              You know what I mean. How many HRs does Ruth have if he didn't play his home games in the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium with their short right field?

              Boxing just doesn't lend itself to stats but I love stats.

                  - - Pep, you're out of you're zone of expertise here.

                  Babe set over a half dozen HR records as a deadball pitcher with writers shaking out every obscure HR record they could find dating back to the 1880s or so.

                  In Fenway park!

                  Either the tying or record breaker in Polo with a shot into the upper deck, as near as out of the park as anyone had ever seen in the deadball era.

                  I could go on about Babe vs everyone else, but I'll just leave you with this- Aaron 755 Hr relocated to Atlanta Stadium and Mays with 660 HR in Candlestick Park.

                  Had they been switched to each other's parks, Mays would've hit about 790 Hr and Aaron about 610. Had Babe gone from Fenway to Atlanta, 890 sounds right.

                  You're right about the park factor in baseball having an influence, but in Babe's case he was knocking them out of the park, his last being age 40 at Forbes Field in Pittsburg measured at approx 600'. Any other sluggers ever knock one out of the park, age 40+?

                  Just askin'...the way it was...

                    Which is interestingly where Ruth started his career.
