i feel like you have presented some facts but your last few posts have just been random ranting about you knowing better than everybody with absolutely no facts. you said that you have talked to a lot of people who know boxing that would agree with you. i will tell you that i have not talked to anybody who knows boxing that would agree with you and thats a fact. that means that i have to just trust your word that your friends (or whoever you are talking to) know a lot about boxing and its history and also agree with you. its hard to trust that when i havent met anyone with your opinions. maybe you hang out with people like you though.
like i keep saying, if you cant trust "experts" or historians then i dont know what to tell you. they, along with many other people including myself, have seen many old fights and can clearly see that someone like joe louis was great and that david haye is just good. for example, if you watch 5 joe louis fights and 5 haye fights, i guarantee you that anybody who really knows boxing will be able to easily observe that louis has way more skill set than haye.
and did you live in the 30's? you are just assuming that people like galento and schmelling are bad boxers? schmelling was actually a very good fighter. galento was fat but wasnt as bad as most people think. he was actually very athletic and strong. he just didnt train hard. kind of like a lot of HWs today. the difference is that galento wasnt considered a top fighter like arreola.
