yeah I'm joking around but I still don't know much about boxing pre-80's.
There's Ali of course but Ali has biographies and moves made about him every year or so,everyone knows a little about Ali.
I also watched a biography on Jack Johnson,he was impressive.
Sort of like the Klitschko of the early 1900's, nobody matched him in size.
Watching his bio , I was surprised he wasn't assassinated,lynched , or just out right murdered. He carried around the largest set of balls.Comment

Yes, but for me is always the issue of 'who beat who'. How do we establish in what way past opponents of the champs were greater than today's contenders? This is where it, IMO, just comes down to favoritism and subjectivity in the end. There is no real point to this debate, really.Comment

I'm the biggest Ali fan their is but i'm starting to think he is off the top 10
list...He lost the biggest fight of his career to Frazier and he also lost to
a guy who only had 7 pro fights in Spinks...I'm starting to think Mayweather
is right;Every fight in your career you are judged on!!..we can't count some
fights and not others in a career..every fight has equal weight..Period.
Added to any top 10 list should be Marciano,Lopez,Calzaghe,Mayweather
...They never lost..Comment
