      But you can't tell me that his fellow boxers didn't know what they were talking about. Especially the ones who were world champions.

      The fastest fighter I ever saw. Hell. Greb is faster than Benny Leonard (lightweight champion).
      -Heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey


      Greb gave me a terrible whipping. My jaw was swollen from the right temple down the cheek, along the chin and part way up the other side. The referee, the ring itself, was full of my blood. If boxing was afflicted with the commission doctors that we have now, the first fight probably would have been stopped and no one would have heard of me today.
      -Former boxing great Gene Tunney
      Anecdotal evidence is quite literally the worst type of evidence to base a claim off of.

        Everything you were taught in school is by your standard "anecdotal evidence".

              That's just laughable and absurd.

                People in this thread already HAVE presented valid (not valet you dumb ****) arguments. You, however, just reject them out of hand like a petulant little child. Then you get butt hurt when people point out your foolishness: I'm hardly the only person in this thread to highlight the absurdity of your position.

                I sense you're on the verge of another three month long tantrum.

                      Think about it. You have a teacher TELLING things to learn, you have books that you study to learn things. These are all things that OTHERS are telling you is true. By the standards that Deliveryman is using to apply to boxing is that not "anecdotal"?
