Tua was repeatedly within a whisker of planting the big one on Lewis's chin, and that was while lugging around 250lb of pure flab! Think that assisted Tua's speed & execution? I don't. Frazier's hook flew by like a bullet. You're a brave man who bets either way on that one!

Lol, poor guy. I don't know why he puts himself through this over something so meaningless.

Not sure I'd bet, so in that regard you might be right. I just see it differently. This type of cross era debate could go on for eternity. It's why I hate doing it. Nothing is ever proven either way in cases like this.

I guess you just get to him. He doesn't realize how little that argument actually means to you.

I get to him because he knows I'm right. Seems a nice guy, probably kills him to be so irrational.

Trouble is...you're "always" right. I've never seen you say another poster made a good point if it disagreed with our position. It makes for interesting threads, but I find that somewhat off putting at times. :maybe:

Definitely a character flaw of mine. I have a very high iq and a really good memory. I only post on my phone so I'm brief and just offer counter opinions as opposed to agreeing. Slim makes no good points about wilder.

I respect that post OTO. And I must admit, that I'm surprised at Candy's bias on Wilder. It doesn't really fit with the rest of his postings. Doesn't seem to bother me as much as it bothers you though. I just accept that it's his view.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. It bothers him. Definitely doesn't fit with his other posts though he rarely posts about anything else these days.

Ali would win a unanimous decision, taking control in the mid rounds.
