Tommo your insulting some great competitors like Ezzaed Charles and Walcott by calling these great fighters and men bums. Your a disrespectfull fool!
You always talk about size well Tyson at 5'9" would give away some height to Rock at 5'11" -6' if you think Rocky is less a puncher thats fine by me but you should read up on what fighters, managers, matchmakers, promotors thought of his power! Another words listen and learn from people who actually know these things instead of your assessments that are based on......Nothing! You don't know ****! Hard hitters and heavy handed fighters have NOTHING to do with how much someone weighs get that through your shallow head, moron!!...........lunch is ready, go read and learn something about Sandy Sadler or Ike Williams and report back in a week! Ray

Everybody who went to boxing, or boxed, or wrote about boxing all admired Rocky and back then there were many GREAT experts who KNEW the art back to front and everything else. These people had forgotten more about boxing than most fans today have ever learned and they hailed Marciano, not because he was pretty to watch or some great technical genius. What they knew back then was that "style" meant very very little compared to the heart and guts and dedication of an old time professional and they knew that every fighter had HIS OWN STYLE and they knew that there was always a counter style to beat a fighter of any style or type. If all you needed to win was to be faster and smarter and technically and aesthetically pleasingly brilliant than Willie Pep would have cruised to very easy victories over Sandy Saddler, but guess what, Saddler punishes Pep. There are hundreds of factors in this game where every mistake you make you get belted for it. I will take the word of those that were there and who knew what they were on about, rather than from someone like Spam or his ilk.

Has Archie sparred with Joe? Considering the two never fought.

I liked the one posted by K-Dogg I think it was where he said "There is one world, so there should only be one world champion", can you find that one?

apparrently so. I remember him saying in an interview years back

Walcott said so too on the TV special where he was reunited with Louis (possibly early 70s).

To be fair though, I'm not sure when or whether Moore actually sparred with Louis or whether he had any right to make that assertion!!
