    Oh! Didn't see that my apologies.

    Fred Fulton was the champion of being step over (and on) by contenders moving up, KOed by a few great fighters, e.g. Wills, Dempsey, Miske. He served a purpose.

    Giants going down is always great drama for the game.

    You're too harsh on fighters who give it their all, and end up sucking anyway. We need those guys.
    How is that? Prove 'er.

      Fact check:

      Perrins was only 6' 2", MacKaskill was 7' 9". Angus lifted an anchor that weighed 2700 lbs. Perrins lifted about a fourth of that.

        Challenge: So who is your favorite 'ham and egger'? Say something nice about him. (No champions allowed.)

        P.S. This got me thinking back to earlier days and watching professional wrestling. I was a big fan of Arnold Skaaland. Now there's a professional ham and egger who knew his role. A backbone of the game.

          My favorite ham by egger was Vampire Johnson. He put on a good show before the opening bell.

                7' 4" - 330 lbs -proportioned like Leonard; sinewy like Bramble; can move like Camacho; throws combinations like Louis; trains like Marciano; and comes at you like Tyson.

                The first one of these guys to appear throws the entire game into termoil.

                But this giant is coming, I hope I'm around to see him.

                  That's right, I am easy. If the organizations call a man a champ, the fans do, and the fight is billed as a championship fight--then guess what--at least one of them is a champion. I don't go for lineal puke, myself. It is just another criteria for me. The fact is, we have more than one champion in this day and age. You are a man who just cannot accept that two and two does not make five.
                  Pat O'Grady was a fan, and his WAA had as much business calling itself an Organization as Gilberto's WBA, Jose's WBC or Bob Lee's IBF, And by all accounts Monte Masters was a Giant pain in the ass.

                    Foreman and Liston weren't that large. Ali stood taller than Liston and as tall as George, only giving up a few pounds. Ernie Terrell was bigger than all of them at around 6'6".

                    I'd say the best of the Super-HWs would probably be Lewis. Bowe would have also been around the same size, but I still favor Lewis.

                      What's that got to do with anything I said?
