        Well, some morons still believe that both those guys can be dominant in today's game. Jack would be a LHW by today's standards but his stans continue to believe that he can be a HW champ.

        Rocky's 0 gives him an aura of invincibility. So according to his nuthuggers, he will never lose to anyone on the face of the planet, EVER.

          What era is old school? Some might classify the 80's as old school.

                  most well known win=Willard, where he used plaster.
                  what other wins does he have? Firpo, who got beat by an old Harry Wills
                  Sharkey, where he was behind on the scorecards and only won through a lowblow/hit on the break combo.

                  only defended the HW title successfully 4 times over about 7 years, then lost it to Tunney one sidedly

                  any other wins you throw out there are mediocre.
