Should Max Baer and Buddy Baer be classed as ***ish ?, they came from ***ish ancestry but I don't think they practiced it of any sorts, if you do class them they should definitely be there if not that list is great.
Imo would put Berg at 9 though instead of Mendoza.Last edited by NChristo; 07-05-2010, 04:24 PM.

Im not ***ish so Im not really sure how they go about classing themselves. I believe (But am not sure) it falls with the mothers side. If that is the case than why isn't LaMotta classified amongst ***ish fighters as well as Italians? Hopefully someone with ***ish ancestry can clear this up some.

Not sure about the ***ish heritage either if it does fall on the mothers side then LaMotta and Baers are in that list easily. Of course.

Bit off topic but this just reminded me, I was bored the other day and BS was full of well, BS, so I went to see ESB thinking it would have less idiots then NSB does and also because of it's reputation as another well known Boxing Forum and one of the first topics I found was John L Sullivan vs Rid**** Bowe.

They actually have quite a few very knowledgeable posters in the classic section and much less flaming in my opinion. I rarely post there but enjoy reading the threads and have learned much. Boxingscene is home base for me though. As many idiots who troll around here there are many more posters who Im comfortable with and respect. Its like the neighborhood you grow up in. You can visit other hoods, but home is where you're most comfortable.

My brother underwent such training to marry his beloved, but in the end balked at quitting Jesus that ended a tragic relationship of true love torn apart by forces beyond their control.

I totally forgot about this thread. Does anyone have any input about Lamotta being ***ish, and if he should be on lists of ***ish boxers?Bundana likes this.
