gk, you are the most ignorant boxing "fan" I have ever heard. Greb was overrated? When was the last time his name came up in a boxing conversation? He beat Gene Tunney!!!
Marciano beat everyone they put in front of him. Something no other heavyweight can say. You claim that Rocky was champ ina weak era. Louis was champ in a weak era for the most part. Dont you remember the bum of the month club...oh yeah, they dont say that on boxrec! And, by the way Lewis' era was weaker than Marciano's! Lets look at who Lewis defended his title against: Tucker, Bruno, Jackson, McCall (KO'd in 2), McCall (nervous breakdown?), well, I dont want to name off anymore. Roland La Starza was ten times better than most of these guys. Walcott and Moore were better then them. Dont talk about Rocky having a weak era, and then say Lewis didnt! Rediculous. Both Lewis' losses were early Ko's to bums. Rocky would have destroyed Lewis. Lewis was on his way to being belted out by Vitali, until the stoppage. Still, one has to credit Lewis with being smart. He never tried fighting Vitali again
Dempsey signed to fight Wills twice, and Rickard refused to promote it. Instead of Dempsey, he got to fight Sharkey. AP quote: "Wills was battered about the ring from the start."
Fitz was 44 years old with torn ligaments in his right elbow. I'm surprised Johnson had the courage to fight him.
Jeffries would have killed Johnson. Jack got leveled by Choynski! Slapping away a prime Jeffs punches wouldnt be enough. And besides, as fiercly proud and egotistical as Johnson was, he still admitted Jeffries was the greatest of all time.
Why was Conn and Greb better than SRR? Well Greb easily was, because he battered around HEAVYWEIGHTS, including one of the greatest of them all, Gene Tunney! Pep was better. And your little remark about the "great Sandy Sadler...Sadler only whipped Pep once! Pep DIMINATED Sadler in the next fight, and was forced to quite due to a seperated shoulder in the next. He was also winning that fight by the way. Their final fight was when Pep was again forced to retire. Hardly what you crack it up to be. And your great black Sadler got pounded by Demarco. As for Conn, my only point on that is this: Yiou rated Louis the best heavyweight of all time, and Conn gave him a boxing lesson!
Walker beat Flowers.
And, I would like to finish with, the only reason you changed the topic to "p4p" is because whites are begining to dominate the heavyweight division, and all the best prospects on the horizon are white!
