Re: Greatest Fighter of All Time

there was so many great ones but for me joe louis was the greatest and thats not a knock on the many others he lost only three fights two of them when he was past 36 and all three were heavyweight champions. the power and speed he showed to be can not be equaled

Re: The best who weren't champs.

the forgotten eddie booker why hes not in canastoga is a farce. only five losses in some 80 bouts and was never stopped, eye problems cut short his career. in one of his last bouts he stopped archie moore flooring him 5 times. i belive i read a quote by moore years ago that booker was the best fight...

Re: Lightweights: Henry Armstrong vs Roberto Duran

ELMER i wont debate with you anymore because you do not have any knowledge of boxing history if it happened before 1975.the statement that duran had better skills then robinson was the knockout blow for me. my friend and historian jack kincaid almost fell off my couch when he read that statement.
