    Great picture. Few today understand how Massive an Icon Firpo was in Argentina. Still honored there.

      - - Be a helluva fight. The hand sizes don't lie. The elderly Firpo would be massively bigger/stonger in his prime.

          I still feel the most amazing boxing article I have ever encountered was a NY Times article where Firpo, two days after the Dempsey fight, complained he qot a 'quick count' --> the funny thing is it looks like he did (hard to tell with the old films).

          But what was this guy thinking? He had been down 9 times in 4:00 --> and he still wanted to go.

            - - Couple of spectators had fatal heart attacks, so pandemonium was breaking out. The sound and fury of the immense spectacle of 80K in The Polo Grounds amphitheater enough to disorient the strongest person.

              Rocky vs a man with limited skills and a semi questionable chin? Hmmm... I need to think about this one. Okay I did. Marciano via mid round KO.

                It's just a photo not a H2H matchup .Do you see a V in between their names?
