    They never fought Japanese Wrestlers either.

    I guess they have 'no class'.

    Benny Leonard lost about 10 of his first 25 fights the scrub.

    Armstrong was cold cocked in his debut and then lost two of his next three the water bag.

    Arguello lost 3 of about his first 20, was cocked twice and once by a guy that was 1 and 0 the pin cushion.

    Bunch of frauds.

    I doubt they fought any gunshot victims either HAHAHA

    Imagine if there was a HW where the fight people felt he looked his absolute best in was against a guy who was shot by police and nearly died a year later, wouldn't that be something?
