Max Schmeling vs Archie Moore

If that is what proof is to you that explains a lot

No wait... I can be the bigger man, your correct. We should all blowhard our assertions and assume they are correct, who needs to investigate whether this is so or not? Makes sense

if your a moron!!

Nice retreat. I asked a simple question for clarification and you back-tracked because?

I think there's no dis*****g the fact that Boxing tends to have certain hotbeds for development. Not that fighters cannot come from "obscure" places, they actually have. But Johansson proves how low the threshold was for rising to the top Post-War. I really don't know what's disputable about that.

ehhh not quite my style ole boy...Try that again I will wait. of course you could respond to the content of the post...but that would be impossible because it is over your head isn't it Rusty? its ok... If you can't keep up Ill slow it down for ya...

1) when we talk about "changes" we need to present what changed, not just random thoughts about Irish guys and who we think are great... But WHAT changed.

2) WHAT changed in boxing and how it was put to a test in the ring has to do with an older classical style of fighting characterized by fighting off the back foot, setting traps, using a 3 foot distance (sword length) and using a style of punching that would not work to transfer punches with larger gloves.

3) Dempsey changed the paradigm to embody a focus on the selection of punches and how to throw then technically. He even wrote a book about this process.

4) Louis through BlackBurn's genius went a step farther and developed Louis who had perfect form in the use of the punches.


There you are toots... see those are CHANGES that we can weigh in on. They are tangible developments that we can see and form an opinion over. Unlike for example, when some blowhard mentions an obscure fighter and pronounces them the equal of men like Ray Robinson, with no tangible proof to put fourth.

No no...don't thank me. Im a teacher your a teacher, its what we fvking do! Call it love of the craft. You can come out of the dunce corner now BTW.

I don't know what's cuter, the fact that you think I take you seriously, or watching you try.

It's a shame that there's trolls here and that trolls get fed a little to much so garbage can be continuosly spread.


But no more in this thread.
