    that's not funny and it's in poor taste. oh wait, you're on the internet though, so you can say things that you wouldn't utter in real life. in fact, you can use the net as somewhat of a release from that reality. keep it up:good

    Poor taste?
    Wouldn't utter in real life?
    Sadly I don't know or come across many boxing fans over here in the UK and most of the general publics knowledge of Tyson is rather skewed/negative

    I doubt anybody would react in a way that would have me concerned on saying such a harmless thing IRL.

    I respect Tyson I rate him highly. Don't be so defensive ;)

    that wasn't cool to say. it evokes thoughts of slavery to anyone with a knowledge of african american history, so it's definitely not a harmless joke to make in any fashion. you're in the u.k though, so say what you want. know that some people wouldnt find it "harmless" at all though...

    Cool vid. Give Ali a weaker chin then I would have favoured Louis to stop him. But Ali could take a ****ing hit and was every bit as capable as Louis was. Ali by decision, all day.

    Ali's IQ is said to have been only 78.... Fast talker though.

    This was before the fight with Smokin Joe.



    Here is a little more:

    Hell yes, it is. I was laughing and thinking how sorely guys like this are missed today.

    If you want to learn about Joe Louis... who I think was the greatest HW of all time.. you should check out this documentary.

    Chronicles his career, including the Schmeling fights and gives the ups and downs of his life. Very interesting.

    Actually, Ali may have beaten him.. but it wouldn't have been easy.

    Ali, Louis and Tyson are my 3 favorite HW's. I think they had different strengths. Louis was a technical wizard and was adaptable, like FMJ. Ali was a great athlete with speed, smarts and iron chin. Tyson had explosive power, perfect technique and speed.

    Ali beats Tyson with movement and outside fighting, and mentally screws with his head.

    Louis beats Tyson the same way, but without the mouthing off.

    Louis vs. Ali...could go either way depending on the day. I think Louis could figure out Ali's style, adjust and make it work. However Ali was a bigger man, had faster hands and was very mobile.
