    Yes, and we all know how that breaks down once we separate bums and cruisers don't we.

    You might say that Earnies resume quickly evaporates!
    They were heavyweights. What do you expect him to do?

    Go into a time machine and fight today's fighters?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I don't expect anything more or less.

    Earnie was a great opponent in his day.

    But he simply was what he was.

    What I do expect is for him to shut his mouth and stop running it with dribble, self glorifying his own career at the expense of obviously much better boxers.

    Rondon is the bummiest of all bums and Earnie among the all time most prolific bum busters.

    They're JUST jokes Paxtom, give it up mate! LOL

    He failed to knock out a total bum, the only thing he was EVER good at. End of.

    Easy there 'DICK BREATH'

    You can't knock out everyone. Some nights, your power is not there, or your timing
    is off.

    Lack of knowledge Mr. Max No Power

    You know little of 'El Muchachote de Barlovento'

    From February 1969 thru April 1972 {3 years, 2 months}

    Vicente goes 19-0-0 {9 KO's}, and wins the WBA Light-Heavyweight Title.

    He was clearly, the #1 Light-Heavyweight behind Bob Foster during that time.
