    It's a case of two things.

    He's either;

    Incredibly ******.

    Or

    Trolling.

    Both cases are a very sad tale of events.

        They're not automatically NOT the best.

        Find me a current heavyweight as Fast, as coordinated, and as sharp as Ali.

        Find me a current 120-160 pounder that can jump around weight classes and beat the best like henry armstrong. (well pacquiao is an exception)

        Find me a fighter that can fight competitively and beat the top contenders for half a century like Duran

        I could go on forever, they're not called ATG's for no reason.

          I agree. Look at these drunks stumbling around.

            Thank you. This is the second funniest post I've read on this board.

                Larry, can you show me a quote of someone saying "Old school fighters are automatically the best(Because they're older)"

                Make a change and give one of your threads some relevance.

                    If a fighter 'clinched' like that today they would get so much stick its unreal and that is Mr Jeffries the Hercules that apparently would of beaten Lewis & Vitali Klitschko?

                    I tell you something, you'd never see Lewis or either brother get sparked clean out from a rabbit punch like that.
