    - -So many misbegotten making false analogies.

    1. It's Ricky Henderson, not Rocky, and his maniacal obsession on base stealing and hot dogging took away from his potential offensive contributions.

    2. Wilt could take the ball down the court for a dunk as he spun around to block Mikey's dunk. Wilt was The Apex Predator whereas Mikey a B grade minor league baseball player and amateur golfer.

    3. Ali an older than dirt subject I hate tearing down. Self proclaimed greatest ain't The Greatest. See TUE 51-0.

    Terribly redundant.

      If you look at fighters historically accolades of being an ATG are bestowed upon a select few. You do not see Sharkey, Schmeling, Baer...all those leading up to Louis nor Willard, Burns, Hart. Dempsey however exhibited qualities that made experts of his time state that he was one if the very best if not the best.

        Queen, I’ve destroyed you ever since your AOL boxing board days. You NEVER win an argument.

          Remember Queen adamantly believes a basketball player would KO Muhammad Ali.

            - -U making up faery tales yet again.

            Wilt did publicly make Ali look like a kicked schoolboy on Cosells ABC wide world of sports when Ali backed out of this public signing of their agreed upon contract in front of the cameras. Guess U was still in U BigBoy trainers still.

            That U see Wilt as just a basketball player actually serves to further define U well documented limitations.

            Have U no shame yet?

                  Refuse to admit you believe a basketball player would beat Muhammad Ali? Don’t blame you as it’s an idiotic mindset. But then again you’re an idiot.

                    Ohh! This goes way back! Watching you two go at it is like watching Dempsey and Tunney. Heck Queenie even is punch drunk apparently... Two battlers, from the AOL days no less! I would have liked to be like Cosell back then, losing my toupee and all! Announcing in blow by blow fashion.

                    In all these years has anyone found out what language Queenie is speaking? At times it almost seems like an old Indo European proto-Sanskrit line, other times? when he hits the gerital and scotch extra hard, I could swear it is Akkadian Semitic, a form of semitic language before Hebrew...straight out of Sumaria!
