Why Rocky is a Top 10 heavy

First topic message reminder :

Brutal puncher. I doubt you will find one fighter in history who would have stood up to the punch that flattened Jersey Joe.

Never knew when he was beaten. Was dropped and being outboxed by Jersey Joe before brutally ending the fight. Lets not forget that Joe was a terrific fighter in his own right.

Undefeated having fought all contenders from his era. The fact it was not as strong as other times is not Rocky's fault. He always faced the best.

Good wins over Ezzard Charles, Louis, LaStarza and Archie Moore.

Opponents of Rocky often commented of how brutal his power was. He would punch you in the arms until you couldn't hold them up. Great tactic which puts to bed the "he was a crude plodder" statement that gets thrown around.

And like puppets on a string they dance to whatever tune.

Clearly on the wind up ..Wow Troll alert call a mod

Az, youre a funny guy.

Tua could KO Rocky, good one, you nearly had me going

I just wish Marciano had Holmes' ability to lose to a light heavyweight, truly awe inspiring stuff

This topic has been done to death. Its the same argument over and over and over again. Why start a new thread?

Anyway, I'll play for a bit before the thread is locked.

I was being generous also.

But seriously, Tua would destroy the slow plodding Rocky. FACT

Well he fought enough of them and older ones. Maybe Holmes should have fought some 40 year old LHW to prove his grapefruits. Someone on par with the GREAT cockell.

Which 40 year old LHW was that then? It's one thing beating a LHW but something far better to lose to one

Cut out the name calling ghosty.

Mathew Saad Muhammed or Eddie Mustapha Muhammed. They were past 40 and Saad was still active.

Are you getting upset Az, can dish it out but cant take it, my work here is done lads

No ghosty. I am not getting upset. Insults are not permitted here and you know it. Plus I have never insulted anyone. Insulted intelligence and brutalised the english language, yes. But I do not insult other posters.

Now cut out the insults.

Oh dear the baby has spat his dummy out

And you came to that conclusion based on my last post?

I'll give Tony Blair some credit here. Education, education, education. Pity he didn't follow up on that though.

Put it this way Az i'd wager i'm infinitely more educated than you are but do continue with the insults

Imperial Ghosty wrote:Put it this way Az i'd wager i'm infinitely more educated than you are but do continue with the insults

I can almost guarantee that you are not. No offence intended.

But education is wasted if you dont apply it.

This thread will be locked or deleted should it degenerate any further. It seems tempers cannot be controlled.

You can guarantee that? I've applied my intelligence to great effect, no point boasting on an internet forum but it requires a degree of grammatical capability to out do, no offence intended.

Are you getting all moddy again because you've been proved to be a hypocrit?

Me boasting? You were the one who decided to put a wager on.

No offence taken but you can question my grammar all day long. I wont disagree seeing as English is not my first language, or my second or third. Nevermind.

I only wager when I know i'm right

Some like me are simply more gifted than others, it's just the way the world works unfortunately

My dad is bigger than your dad.

And you accuse others of boasting on an internet forum? Too funny. But as I have said endlessely to you, self praise is no praise.

Thread locked as it has strayed way off topic.
