    Rico,

    Don't you think it is important to be fair to Roy when comparing to Spinks.. As it would have been harder during Roy's time to become THE HW Champion?

    I would have to go waaaaaaay back in time to find a Heavyweight Champion I would pick Spinks over. He was at the right place at the right time. Holmes was fading and there was nobody around to take advantage of it so Spinks gave it a go.

    Probably. Spinks was just so damn awkward and Holmes was really worried about hurting Spinks I don't think he approached the first fight with the right mindset. I read a few articles on Sports Illustrated's online vault (yes they used to cover Boxing at one time :lol:) leading up to the fight and Holmes thought the fight would have been a walk over. Holmes honestly wasn't the same after the Cooney fight it took a lot out of him mentally and physically preparing for that fight with all the stuff that was going on.

    Here is a question what happens if Roy fought Spinks and Lewis fought Holmes and the two winners were to meet? I bet that question would get a lot of different outcomes if you asked Boxing people what they think would have been the result. Lots of possibilities for sure.

    Spinks vs. Roy is a toss up for me.. I think there is a chance Roy could outpoint him, but Spinks certainly had the power to end Roy's night at any given second..

    I would almost always take Lennox vs. Holmes, but Rahman proved that Lennox could be caught as well.

    I would pick Lennox to beat all 3 of them.

    You do know that Spinks strategically cut weight to LHW because of his low bodyfat right?

    You do know that Shilstone purposely packed muscle on Spinks to fight at HW right? His body didn't just naturally swell up to HW.

    I just thought I would point out I am correct, and I am not saying Spinks would shrink as he got older to "suddenly" swell up.

    can you please explain how eleven people think youre an idiot on one thread? a thread that you initiated?

    http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?p=15748782#post15748782

    by the way, why do all your acquaintances here have negative vcash on their bankrolls?

    i dont think too many people would find anything "Elite" about losing.

    1,885,000 divided by four years divided by 365 days = 1291 view counts a day


    can you please explain how you think that you receive 1291 view counts a day, better yet how you actually think that people believe you, when the moderators each only have:

    the professor 3691 view counts in five years
    http://www.boxingforum24.com/member.php?u=33213

    rumsfeld 3079 view counts in nine years
    http://www.boxingforum24.com/member.php?u=87

    kirk 1256 view counts in nine years
    http://www.boxingforum24.com/member.php?u=341

    intentional butt 7646 view counts in seven years
    http://www.boxingforum24.com/member.php?u=13070

    so what youre claiming, while playing in your make believe sandbox flying in your make believe corporate jet having make believe team elite awards ceremonies, is that you receive roughly the same amount of view counts in two or three days as these moderators have received in as many as nine years?

    by your theory, you receive more view counts in one day as moderator kirk has received in nine years.

    please explain

    why would you intentionally cut the (s) out of fights to make it appear that i bet on a mayweather bradley fight as opposed to the mayweather/canelo and bradley/jmm fight(s)

    http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=489137&page=75


    are you that desperate?

    and then why would you admit that i bet on the bradley/jmm and mayweather/canelo fights and not a bradley/mayweather fight only to say that i bet on "fights that have never taken place" just 24 hours later?

    http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=488153&page=29

    it appears that you are suffering from some sort of personality disorder where one personality says one thing one day and the other personality says something completely opposite the next

    by the way, where is that link to the HEADBANGER view count bet that i supposedly agreed upon? you know, the actual link and not some captioned quote that you can fabricate?

    its called having a life.

    you know, dinner with neighbors and friends?

    maybe thats hard for you to grasp living next to all those poor crazy people in your neighborhood who could not comprehend the thought of a person being retired living in a foreign country driving a mercedes convertible but its not all that uncommon.

    now, please accept the vcash ban bet so we can move on and not interact anymore until december 31, 2013, where one of us will be leaving the forum

    sitting here having to be your psychologist everyday is not what this forum is about.
