Enclosed are my top 15 ranked heavyweights by 20-year intervals. The criteria for the

To find a subject not turned over like hay numerous times by this and previous generations of posters is always a challenge. Neophytes of any period always require the same explanations and clarifications.

In Dempsey's day (and before) every circus had a strongman, and usually a boxer too, who were once in a while the same person. The strongmen made up their own events, which often involved lifting groups of people on a platform of some kind, even twirling the platform merry-go-round style with their feet as they lay on their backs. They would often attach living people instead of weights to their bars. Goerner the Mighty used to hold up a specially constructed bridge with his shoulders while a car full of people drove across. He turned pro strongman in 1920-21, but gave shows in Germany right into Hitler's reign until about 1937.

Strongmen also did what we now think of as traditional lifts, such as clean and jerk and presses & one-handed jerks et al, some of which earlier strongmen no doubt invented.

Another thing the crowds loved to see them do was juggle kettleweights weighing up 120 lbs. apiece.

Its crazy how these guy were built... they are deceptive looking compared to guys who are really lean and swollen out. Its all trunk, legs and shoulders. But they are, in terms of lifting things, the strongest men in the world.

If I had my choice i would want rock climbing (with no equipment). Those guys can lift themselves with a finger, incredible physical abilities.

How many dumbos can slobber on the head of a pinhead?

I don't know. But we could get a gang of Demo**** together to slobber on *****s head. Then we would know.

Sorry to jab for putting political sheet in his thread. I couldn't help myself, it was too easy.
It's a great thread and list. ...........................Rockin'

How about if he bought, say, the September issue of the mag? With a couple of months delay, he would then be able to see, where he was ranked by the end of June (most likely).

So if he bought the issues from April to December - he would be able to check how they rated him every month from January to September (if the rankings were 2 months behind real time) during the year he was in at the time.

So yes, poor Tubsy was in fact able to se how he was ranked, at least for 9 of the 12 months, of the year he was in. If he wanted to see, how he was ranked in October, November and December... he would of course have had to wait for the rankings in the January, February and March issues of the following year.

Should be easy to understand.

- -So U say U SmartyPants boy.

So why Ring bother with their a$$ backward yearly ratings if they was doing as U stated?

I pretty much gave up on Ring after Nat died.

Don't change that when their ****** year ratings came out when George was retired.

I on the on the other hand admittedly have little patience. But every section needs a kickball, and he's ours. You can pick your nose, but we can't pick who posts here, and that is to bad. I consider myself an informed boxing fan with good knowledge and experience. But truth be told, I learn more from many of you guys and hate when people try and muck it with trolling and lies. We're not all going to agree on everything, but let's have a modicum of respect whether we agree or disagree. And for the love of God, post your sources if you make a claim!! Just read it somewhere and don't remember? So what? It isn't the end of the world to be wrong when you're an adult. Unfortunately Queenie doesn't get this very simple concept.

But watching U boys holding limp hands marching ding dong merrily in simpleton time...priceless!
