Muhammad by TKO or clear decision. Flynn at his best had great conditioning, durability, and knew the trick of inside-fighting, but overall he was a very crude boxer and was widely derided at the time for lacking skill. Eddie should be able keep him off with the jab and counter-punches fairly easily if we are talking a 12-15 round fight but Flynn did surprise far superior boxers a few times just by being like night of the living dead and keeping the pressure up after taking a beating.

Dempsey.....I would agree in this case. But thought it would be controversial.

Don't know enough about Flynn but EMM was not that good at heavy in the fights I remember.

Being a heavyweight is not an issue here, Flynn was only a light heavyweight himself, he has no size advantage here.

Too far from Fireman Flynn's era? Ok...you may be right so I won't go quite as far. Let's take this whistle stop tour and drop Flynn off one LHW champion earlier. Jim Vs Matthew Saad Muhammad.

Now there's some blood gore and guts for ya jaclem. lol.

lol, Mustafa and or Saad every day of the week. Way to modern in style to have a prehistoric pug like the Fireman give either of them any trouble.

At his best, when he fought Jack Johnson, Flynn weighed over 190, so he'd have a definite pull in weight over Eddie, but Eddie would easily outbox him.

Next in the "Goofy Hypotheticals" series. specifically for Kalan to have something to complain about.

Things have been going so well, that I'm sure he's missing out on a lot of good complaining time.....this seemed a sure bet to help get him back in form.

Why don't you shut it unless you have something interesting to say? That would take care of 98% of your posts. :shame: :shame:

Hey this guy flattened Dempsey in a single round.
I mean if your gonna burn the calories to chime in on pugilistic hypotheticals, do more than just bust on your ol Pal Buzz.

And in return I won't bring up your name in jest, ever again. I realize humor is not your thing.....unless it's one of your hero's.....like Curley, Larry or Moe. nyuk nyuk nyuk.....

It does pit a couple of widely varied styles/eras/etc....so it's food for thought.

Well if it took place in the 80s then emm would beat flynn with ease. If it took place in like 1912 then flynn would probably win by jumping up in the air and headbutting emm like he tried with johnson.

Kalan....I fully understand and accept diverse viewpoints.


Once again.....that shyt's funny, no matter who you are.


There is still a few that believe you and I to be one and the same.

The fact that they are wrong, does not make me lose my wonderous sense of humor on the subject.


Now....I freely admit, that the dummy may represent myself. within that scenario that Jaywheel posted based on his personal creativity,

Which may well explain...why I feel no pain in expressing my appreciation for this funny bit of humor.

You on the other hand clearly have a bit more to sort out on this subject.

Buzz.. There's a few easily deluded fools who believe you're a character I made up like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- to use as a foil for my analysis. I trust you’ve read all of Doyle’s many novels. Everybody loves a good story. Novels are a great respite from the depressing news of the world. I’m a news addict as well.

Now, Doyle needed both the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson... That way Watson could lay out all of his rather shallow observations of the crime scene, feeling certain that this time he overlooked nothing... Then Holmes would point out 20 things that Watson and all the detectives and investigators of Scotland Yard missed -- and wryly comment on their supreme importance to the case – which previously was beyond the comprehension of Watson and everyone else who looked at the same evidence.. However, Watson was no dummy, and with deep thought and perseverance he would gasp at Holmes' brilliance when he finally tied everything together in his own mind – while a bored but patient Holmes waited tolerantly for his realizations.

Not having the astute mind of a Dr. Watson – the realizations never quite make it there for you.

Doyle only wrote 4 Holmes novels. The majority were short stories. Anyway I think holmes would laugh at many of your boxing views that seem based on bias rather than fact.
