    Boy he is in rough shape.. Its very sad to see him like that. I think he looks good, but its hard for him to talk and he's shaking a lot. He's one of my favorites, and its tough to see him like that.

    Man, he's almost 100 years old.
    I think he'd boning that blond, she probably in her 40s. Or a well-kept 50-something.
    Don't see anything sad in that. :lol:

    At his age, with all the fights he had, and punches he took, he gets a free pass for any physical deterioration he's now exhibiting. For crying out loud, he actually still smokes cigarettes! His final major win over Bob Murphy was over 61 years ago. In his rookie year of 1941, he fit in 19 bouts BEFORE the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. His amateur Diamond Belt winning footage dates back nearly 75 years.

    No, this isn't sad, it's amazing. This guy is old enough to be the father of Frazier, Norton, Lyle, and other recently deceased HWs from the 1960s and 1970s. He's old enough to be the daddy of the Parkinson's disabled Linda Ronstadt.

    He's spent much of his life porking girls young enough to be in junior high school. [What, you think Vikki was the first or last he did that to?]

    Maybe he was shaking like that cause he was tired after an FFFFFFM orgy in the Green Room just before the interview.

    They don't make men like that anymore. As tough as nails.

    I somehow doubt he's using boner pills with his latest wife, even at that age. Wouldn't surprise me if he's got the testosterone levels of an adolescent male bull shark.

    THIS :deal :lol::lol: definitely looking a bit of the old jittery yeah but Jesus the guy is what 94 now - the old mind and body tends to start hitting the skids for most people who never even got punched in the face once in their lives - this guy ate punches like pacman - you can still get his tongue in cheek regurgitation of all his scripted jokes too haha - I'm pretty sure he was maybe a bit more jittery coz he was unused to being on radio and using all the headphones and technical stuff etc - kinda think when I spent the night in the bar with him that all the wines kinda relaxed him quite a bit and he was much more chilled and chatty - but that's 3 years back and I guess at that advanced age things can hit you pretty quickly - but keep on keeping on Jakey and have a cigar for me matec:good

    Come on, he's over 90 years old. The fact that he still ALIVE is nothing short of amazing.
