Well... Did you see the Louis-Conn fight??? ... Good. Who do you think was/is the slickest defensive master??? ... Haye or Louis?

Obviously remembering that Haye fought Carl Thompson when he had 10 fights... Louis was knocked out by Max Schmeling when he had 24 fights.

If you are the only person on planet earth who thinks David Haye is a better fighter than Joe Louis was, is it then possible that you are wrong?

If the subject is Boxing he's stunningly wrong 70% of the time. Every now and then he's on the money with some things, but I think it's almost an accident when that happens.

I would love to see Dwight Muhammad Qawi fight David Haye.

A no-brainer, Haye would win because Qawi lost more fights and Frazier couldn't swim

Of course. Flawless reasoning. What was I thinking?

I think that's why you challenged me to pick 7 fights gilgamesh... I accepted and beat your picks... My percentage of being correct was above your's... 70% wrong is just another of your damned lies you pulled out of your rear end... Nobody is going to match Louis and Haye so I can't prove I'm right... But it's a chinch that Haye is bigger, taller, faster, stronger, and a more skilled boxer -- and would certainly NOT struggle with 174-pound Billy Conn like Louis did -- being behind on the cards after 12 rounds to a little guy like that.

Quarry doesn't Toney at cruiserweight... There's such a thing as boxing skills -- and Toney's skills were miles better than Quarry's.. Toney's Jirov, Holyfield, Guinn, and Rahman fights show Toney could absorb a heavyweight's punch quite easily... and just box the Hell out of most people in the division... Quarry was a sitting duck for a slick infighter.
