    Sure looks that way.

    And I'm not Buff...My body looks a damn sight better than his :lol:

    He and I go back a bit, though.

    Francois sports a real man's physique... If not a real man's name.

    His battle versus Moorer was valliant and he put some real hurt on Moorer, too.

    Dude can flat out fight. He's tough as nails and he gives a ton of effort. Gave me all I could handle, man.

    I just hate to see a hard working journeyman like that get screwed. That was some Coggi/Gonzalez ****.

    This business is dirty because the fans, fighters, and managers allow it to be. Somebody has to stand up to these corrupt pricks... Promoter is lucky Buff didn't clean his clock.

    Spoke to Botha briefly when he was in belfast fighting on the eubank-close bill about 20yrs back. Seemed a decent guy. Had a good win that night too

    Made everything happen in his career the hard way. Never had much skill or finesse. Just toughness, a game attitude, and hard work. I can't help but respect guys like that. We bonded a bit after swapping leather.

    Early on, Botha had all kinds of potential mainly based on his attitude. I would have liked to see him face the Bowe that Golota got his shots at... Lately, it's just kinda a sad. He plods out there, gives a couple good rounds and packs it in. But, hell, he's older than me and collecting a paycheck.


    Through use of algorithms too complicated to explain I have deduced our friend, Magna, to be none other than Jordan Keepers.

    You jest, but you want to talk about attitudes? Guys like Jordan Keepers make this business with their game attitudes and utter lack of pride.

    Has anything worse than that happened over those parts recently?
