izvn ::: Favorites Looks like Holmes is in a little better shape than when he fought Mike. 07-09-08 19:22:26 _____________________________________________________
ItalianKOKING ::: Favorites your opinion is welcomed. Fact is with the amount of dropped bodies and broken bones as well as spirits with the amount of skill Mike had, I would easily argue about how great Mike was! 07-09-08 01:38:35 _____________________________________________________
Boxer2333333333333 ::: Favorites Lots of guys didn't wear head gear. There is no doubt that Mike hit hard and was fast, but, he was far from the fastest, or hardest hitting heavyweight of all time. He's not a top 10 ATG either. 07-09-07 22:14:40 _____________________________________________________
TheGreatA ::: Favorites Tyson could take a hell of a lot of punishment but when he started taking it he couldn't recuperate from it and take the control of the fight back like Holmes could. 07-09-01 17:30:13 _____________________________________________________
ItalianKOKING ::: Favorites Oliver McCall was Mike's old Sparing partner and even said Mike hits hard and he is fast. McCall would wear head gear as Tyson came out with none! Mercer didn't want to fight Mike and that is a fact. Buddy what the hell are you talking??? Start stating facts and start talking sense kid!!! 07-08-10 02:49:17 _____________________________________________________
ItalianKOKING ::: Favorites You are an idiot my friend Mike laid Holmes out with a perfected over hook that sent his ass to the canvas after that he was done. Shavers was too slow and not skilled enough to land anything clean on Mike and he would get knocked out faster than Holmes did! Cooney got his ass knocked by Spinks then Spinks got his ass knocked even faster against Mike. 07-08-10 02:48:50 _____________________________________________________
Boxer2333333333333 ::: Favorites LOL. Lets see Tyson take the shots that Larry absorbed from Shavers, Cooney, Mercer, and McCall. Tyson would have been KO'd by some of those shots. Also, Larry only went down from huge bombs/haymakers, Tyson went down from multiple clean shots. The haymakers are harder to take and get up from. 07-08-09 15:42:12 _____________________________________________________
Boxer2333333333333 ::: Favorites Mercer has power. Not like Shavers or Foreman, but he probably had the same power as Frazier. 07-08-09 15:29:36 _____________________________________________________
ItalianKOKING ::: Favorites I do my research here in Italy, he does have allot of background and in his off time he would come to Italy. I honestly don't think Rocco could perform with the 70's heavyweights but maybe the light heavyweights or middle weights. He is too small. R.I.P Rocco Marchegiano. 07-07-25 13:04:20 _____________________________________________________
ItalianKOKING ::: Favorites Where did you hear that from. There was an old story about that with his management setting up perfect fights for him also that Rocco knew about it. Explains why after suffering his first knock down against old Archie he decided to retire with his public image. Rocco was a smart guy and yes he was nervous about fighting Patterson and didn't want to risk it. 07-07-25 13:03:53 _____________________________________________________
