    I do thin Golovkin is a heavy handed power puncher.

    Did not know Rocky put someone in a coma.

    Study your history guys!

    I'm not suggesting that modern fighters are in some way inferior to the old timers, or are pussies or anything ..... but boxing was undoubtedly a rougher tougher game in olden times. Those guys were fighting every week, often without gloves, with no governing bodies, precious few rules, no medical presence in unregulated fights where refs simply did not stop fights.

    If you want to know who would be best at a no rounds non stop fight, then look at the people who were champions at actually doing it!

    Stanley Ketchell, the Michigan Assassin, was a hard brutal man who - as a middleweight - fought everyone and usually crushed them. You don't get harder that Harry Greb the Human Windmill. John L. Sullivan was a force of nature. Jack Dempsey lived rough and would drift from mining town to mining town and fight the toughest guy in each bar .... at age 16!

    Tom Cribb fought death defying bare knuckle epics which lasted for hours, Jem Mace was one of the toughest guys to ever step into a ring (or a circle, as it was then).

    Jack Johnson, Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette were veterans of the infamous Battle Royales, where up to 30 young black men would all fight to the finish until one was left. Horrific, and a by product of Americas fraught relationship with race ..... but this probably best answers the question. No rules, no rounds, non stop.

    Joe Jeanette v Sam McVea - 1909 Paris

    This is recorded as one of the most brutal fights ever, 3 hours, 49 rounds and the corners were even making them both inhale from Oxygen filled balloons to re energize them both


    By virtue of oxygen pumped into them by their seconds, Jeannette and MacVey reeled and staggered through forty-eight rounds of a brutal and plucky fight here tonight. At the opening of the forty-ninth round MacVey, his face utterly dehumanized save for an expression of helpless agony that distorted what remained of his features, signified that he was unable to continue, whereupon the referee declared Jeannette the winner.

    Mate that sounds like pure insanity once you read the details. Absolutely brutal affair as were many of the era. To imagine that McVea would endure this, the mangled face and torn eyes, and then be allowed..even able..to fight again just ONE WEEK later . I think there is no doubt many greats and many matches are lost or suffer from "no video than it didn't happen" kind of mindset. You see it all the time with Harry Greb for one. It by no means is true and rather insulting but the early 1900's is a gold mine of history too often dismissed as near prehistoric. Damn shame really and OUR loss.

    LaMotta was a tough SOB. Duran loved to fight.
