Appreciation Thread for the oft-forgotten Tony Canzoneri

[SlySlickSmooth]

its shame on this site, I see a bunch of pickering but a lot of people on this site don't know anyone outside of Mike Tyson, Ali, Mayweather and Pacquaio


there are fighters some people never heard of that had better resumes than both Pacquaio and Mayweather and were close in skill and talent


IMO just based off his talent, skill, and level of opposition, and resume I put canzoneri in my top ten all-time

People put Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, Pacquaio in the top 10 and don't even know who Tony Canzoneri is.....SMH...they aren't even close to facing the type of competition he did.

There's no reason to not do a little studying.

Basketball currently has Jordan
Baseball has Babe Ruth
(American) Football has.. idk actually, is it Joe Montana?

Is it necessary to know the past? Not really, but once you start talking who is who and making lists then you better know a bit of the past before talking up present fighters.

most people on this site are fan boys who follow one or two fighters

I love the history aspect


These are the top ten fighters of all time IMO...in no particular order, I change it so much....this is the greatest in my opinion, not the best

Sugar Ray Robinson
Harry Greb
Sam Langforde
Benny Leonard
Tony Canzoneri
Willie Pep
Ezzard Charles
Jimmy Wilde
Henry Armstrong
Joe Gans
