I find it amusing when a TS offers nothing into a thread and than complains that others contribute nothing into it. Perhaps if you had a proper discussion than you would have received more replies. For example, opinions on specific fights which several are viewable.

I think most here would agree he is top 20 or top 25 P4P, as he was the second triple champion after Fitzsimmons and almost a 4th weight class champ.

If you put the search function you will see he is already discussed here. Things as the fact that he beat 9 hall of famers is discussed, the questionable decision against Bud Taylor for the vacant Bantam title which could have cost him a 4th title as he would be a triple champion (feather,lightweight, and junior welter.)

There is some good stuff there but you gotta wade through same very lame stuff, when someone gets a bit outrageous I just tell 'em that Obelix the Gaul could smash anybody. so yeah just throw it back at them
