Double L, Do yourself a favour and not even respond to BwayJoe. It's pointless. He'd invariably pick against the active fighter. If you disagree with him on a topic he'd just say you've never seen the previous era fighter fight....and he'll never discuss it logically but just start nonsense about you "shilling for yoru favorites"...whatever that's supposed to mean. Futile attempting to have a logical debate with a character like that. Don't be tempted.
Uh, huh. How 'bout that Willie Pep? Have you seen any of his pre-plane crash fights recently? When folks ask me which fights of a particular fighter I have seen, I answer honestly. And if I haven't seen any film (or very little) on a fighter or I don't know enough about the fighter...then I don't act as if I do. You might want to try that sometime.
