i;m out. No point debating in depth with someone who thought Maher and Goddard fought only once, then discovered they fought 3 times,...boxrec stuff..

Where did I say that specifically?

Yet Goddard was 2-1, 2 ko's vs. Maher and was not in his prime for all three fights. His power level obvisouly had an effect on Maher.

The vote is now final. Goddard advances, Maher is out. I not an expert on either man. Never claimed I was. I hope this result does make you quit the thread. The final four are Frank Slaivn, Gus Ruhlin, Tom Sharkey and Joe Goddard.

First up is Salvin vs. Ruhlin. Will Slaivn's power prevail or does Ruhlin have enoguh to survive the early rounds and let his boxing ability and soild power take over?

Savlin is described a an early version of Jack Dempsey in attack and Ruhlin offers greater size and boxing abiity with soild power. This one could go either way!

[Dr. Z]

I'm picking Slavin. Any other calls?

[Dr. Z]

Any more votes for Salvin vs Ruhlin?

Up next is Tom Sharkey vs Joe Goddard. They meet twice with Sharkey winning both matches in real life, but one can argue a prime vs prime match would be closer.

Could it be an all Aussie final match, or will Sharkey prevent that from happening? The match starts the weekend.

The final match is on Tuesday.

Okay. Any reasons why you are picking Gus? Anyone else?

Okay. Any reasons why you are picking Gus? Anyone else?

No reason given? The I say Savin advances as the 1 vote form him was late,.

Up next is Sharkey vs Goddard. Place your bets. My vote is for Sharkey as he has fantastic stamina, good chin, and could really hit. I will be on vacation for a while.

I will check back in for the winner and give him a full review later.
