Re: No Rounds - Non Stop .... Who's the hardest most Brutal Mo-Fo in History
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.
