Simple mistake, no problem.

You backed your opinion up, true.

Thank You <grin> You backed yours up as well. No doubt.

However, you did not convince me to
believe any differently than before.

You didn't convince me either! I still think Giardello is better.
More wins and a better win %. Also, Joey was a champion and ducked
nobody. Not saying Zale did, but Joey belongs in the upper echelon of
middleweight history IMO
I would rate Zale (as well as Ketchel and Cerdan) well above
Giardello.

That's your opinion and I respect it, but Tony Zale never beat a
"Sugar" Ray Robinson. Even at 42, Robinson was VERY capable and
dangerous, just like Bernard Hopkins! <grin>

Take it easy,

Scar TKO


Nonsense. Denny Moyer, Stan Harrington (who my dad knew), Mick Leahy and a
host of others beat Robinson around the same time as Giardello. So why
aren't they on your list?

Utter stupidity. Zale is a top 5 Middleweight who beat better then
Joey...and who in his prime would have destroyed Giardello. Wasn't like
beating Giardello was the most difficult thing to accomplish. In Joey's
nominal prime years he lost 9 fights. Some to non-elite competion. 101
wins? Peter Mueller beat Giardello. Mueller won more then 110 fights. So
why isn't he rated higher then Joey?
