Dempsey had a great chin. Certainly top ten.

I would certainly agree with that.

Paper titles don't count. McCall was never hwt champion.

--- WBC one of the two major belts in the day, but yeah, Lar never held more than 1 belt.

And to correct the notion we don't have good footage of Firpo blasting out Dempsey, not true. He put him on the ropes and then pushes him out with his right hand.

Just the facts, ma'am!

Holmes was the lineal heavyweight champion. That's the only title that really matters.

--- And how was he lineal?

Oh, that's right, Ali got whooped by an amateur noob with no teefs and won the rematch in a great display of heart with all the power of an infant and retired.

Did you really watch the Lar/Ali bout?

Not I. Not a fan of watching a grown man whoop a mental and physical infant, but of course there's always the shameless who possess no such moral prohibitions.

[Dempsey-Louis]

The names in bold had glass chins.

[Archie_Leach]

Oh my! that's totally incorrect.

You're incorrect...

[stefjonno1]

For Ali to go his whole career and fight who he did and to be never ko'd he gets my vote. What a man.

Really?

So when Cotto was keeping the belt hostage after beating a cripple did you consider him the man at middle or GGG?
