So yeah. The Meters. Wouldn't begrudge Chic either, they were fun. Fuck the rest.
Or The Meters do anyway.....beyond the two Zombies songs I actually knew the rest is pap.
The Zombies and The Meters both have some excellent stuff.
Hey Jerren, cool to have you on. I hope you go far mate, boxing needs more young fighters with old school style skills. :bears: Keep us posted.
I don't see any wins to justify a top 10 spot, tbh. 34 year old Machen who lost his next fight to a bum? His rep is giving Ali so much trouble and...
Seems like a good heavyweight's never been KOd by a bodyshot. Unless a 40 y/o Ron Lyle counts.
Ah yeah, he was Hopkins number one contender. WBA i think.
Was Carl a number 1 contender at some point? I definitely remember his name from the old KO magazine alphabet rankings.
Daniels was scared, I heard.
:lol::lol: Excellent story
Do you reckon he was better than that? Machen was 33 and losing more than he won when he beat him and there's not much else to put him above a...
'Flazam' :lol: Was that one ever used on batman?
I think my misuse of 'journeyman' is the beef here i doubt our appraisals of Mildenberger are far apart. 'fringe contender' would've been better
I wonder how Ali would deal with a ripped, 6'6" specimen like The Clogg
Maybe if he times his coffee right. He presents some of the problems Jones and Young did and the problems Middleberger did all at once, he might...
I've never seen him outside the Ali fight but I figured a 'draw' with Folley in Frankfurt to mean a loss, tbh.
I do think Byrd gives Ali way more problems than a guy as average as Byrd has a right to.
Well, just a little :lol:. I'd just never seen the Mildenberg fight before and was struck by how much trouble Ali had dealing with the southpaw...
Wow, good one. Something for Ronnie to tell the grandkids, fosho.
Gonzalez and Lewis both beat Bowe
Forrest beat Mosley Mosley beat DLH Pryor beat Hearns
I think many of them should. And he beat a bunch of other guys worth remembering too - Lytel, Chase, Wade etc. Not all of these guys should be in...
His record's there. I find it strange to begrudge a guy who gave as good as he got with Moore, Charles, Williams, Smith, Marshal, Zivic etc a HOF...
Well they certainly aren't 'revisionist fans who weren't there' are they, they're credible sources who rated him before HBO was even founded.
Why on earth would Moore or Futch take it on themselves to 'lobby the press'?
I believe Archie Moore & Eddie Futch would pick a bone with that if they were here, Karl.
He was pretty average, yeah.
:lol: Joe doesn't understand statisticS
Byrd would take rounds off a prime Ali and make his night awkward as hell. If there's two things Ali hated it was southpaws and negative...
The idea of a journeyman like Mildenberger giving peak Ali as many problems as he did pretty comical too.
