Interesting character is an understatement for this guy. You need to read his books and shit. He's like the best human ever.

Ok, I'll try once I'm done with Sophocle, Homère, Shelley, Faulkner, the Bible....





Too much to read, too little time...

Admittedly I haven't, just messing about.

I quite liked Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Haven't seen the movie yet. I like the part in particular where he says something about how he was thinking about macing the poor girl "just on general principles," or some such.

I love the book and the film's decent enough, but it's the kind of book that you can't really make a movie out of I don't think.

You simply can't capture the weirdness of Hunter S. Thompson with an actor, even though Depp did great. I dunno what I'm talking about though.

i like 80s fighters.
Hearns
Leonard
Hagler
Holmes
Tyson,, and a fighter who does not get much credit, but I loved his power. Edwin Rosario. But Edwin for all his power had trouble taking punches.

[santiagoraga]

1)Salvador Sanchez-You could tell he loved the fight game and life in general.
2)Marvin Hagler-So many great memories of this man.
3)Roberto Duran-He's Roberto fucking Duran
4)Diego Corrales-Enjoyed his attitude. He respected the game.
5)Bob Foster-Pure fucking CLASS-Watch the Quarry fight and see how he handles himself. Respect breeds respect.
