Tell me something about Gerald McClellan

What's going on in this thread? This complete bell of a poster 'Wass' is openly endorsing Dog fighting with rambling, wannabe-tough guy nonsense, with no insight whatsoever, and the mods seemingly are A-okay with it.

Wass, you ought to take your pathetic little self down to your local dog rescue centre and take a look at the Pit Bull Terriers there missing, ears, eyes, legs, and with absolutely horrific scarring of the physical and mental kind, and then tell the staff and veterinary people there that the dogs absolutely loved every second of every fight they were in. Let them know how they enjoyed being pumped full of steroids and ran on treadmills till they collapsed too. A shame that neanderthals like yourself have internet access.

 

You're the bell end, please show me where I'm endorsing dog fighting you inbred rodent? It is a sport that is made to look a hell of a lot worse by the powers that be, only monkeys like you actually believe all the bull**** you are fed by the news and papers. Why don't we ban boxing whist we are at it, all those poor fighters who are made to take PED's so they can perform with the elite. Plenty of fighters are made to fight for money because they have no other means to earn it, how shameful of you to watch such a sick sport. Think of all the lives we would save and brain injuries we would prevent if boxing was banned, what a re**** you are!

 

Dog fighting's cruel.
But so is intensive animal farming. In my opinion.

There's no harm in having an open discussion around the subject.

Dog fighting was actually banned around the same time reformers were trying to eliminate prize fighting too.
And those reformers seemed to be concerned more with "working class" or "plebeian" bloodsports, than what the upper classes got up to.

I do think people's perspectives are warped with regard to dogfighting, which is bad but made out to be "special evil".
People proudly hunt deers and bears in this world, legally, sniping them dead with long range rifles.
The Spanish still do bullfighting !
People eat veal and foie gras !
Who hasn't eaten battery-farmed chicken or eggs sometime ?
All these things are bad for the animals.

 

Not endorsing it, but calling it a ''sport'' with ''champions''. If you are genuinely too dense to realise the difference between two human beings willingly taking part in a sport regulated by rules, weight classes and with obligatory medical assistance and the sleazy, sadistic, animal torture in some back room that pathetic vermin like yourself get off on then you are even dimmer than I thought.

I understand your mother and father are also most likely blood relatives, but even an intellectually challenged unfortunate like yourself must be able to tell the difference. The RSPCA being ''the powers that be'' is a new one too. You're not very bright, not very pleasant, and not very interesting. Now please Troll off.

 

Well if you had half the brains you think you have you'd know the sport does have rules and weight classes you dumbass, and yeah a 3x winner is a Champion you imbecile! And yeah we all know lots of fighters are having one last fight just for the love of the sport and not because they are flat out broke, I'm sure a baboon like you would happily sit on your fat ass and watch Ali make a return if given the chance.

Your mother and father are more than likely a different species, you're about as interesting as a stillborn slug, now go and tie a pork chop around your neck in the hope that your dog will play with you :hi:

 

Exactly, re****s like imploded listen to every piece of bull**** and lies the papers and news say. Same goes for the RSPCA, those ****ers are some of the most cruel creatures out there but to the general public dumbass they are the saviour of every poor little creature that needs help.

 

Ignorance is bliss to some half wits I guess....

 

No hero of mine but I've read 6 books on him, none of which mention him being in any way involved in dog fighting.Archie Moore was.

 

Well that kind of thing rarely gets mentioned, I know for a fact he had dogs bred off Colby who had the best fighting dogs of the USA at that time. I doubt he wanted animals from a breeder like that just to merely for pets.

 

Your doubt translates into no proof whatever.

Here's a bit about McClellan as told by his trainer.

Johnson was McClellan's trainer, his friend and, sometimes, an unwitting sidekick. After the fight with Nigel Benn in 1995, a savage brawl that put McClellan in a coma, Johnson sought counseling for his guilt and grief.
He's done a few things he never imagined doing. The first time he went to a dogfight with McClellan, he felt sick and scared.
"Then," he says, "I kind of got into it.
"I don't know … it's just a competition, and it's like a race, a fight. You'd be surprised at what my eyes have seen."

Johnson said he saw nine or 10 dogfights in all, some lasting 45 minutes, others so bloody McClellan walked out looking as if he'd been in a gunfight. Once, after McClellan's dog lost, Johnson watched his friend coldly pull a 9 mm gun out of his pocket and fire into the dog's head.
Is this bull**** too?

 

No proof no but highly likely yes, I can accept McClellan was a dog fighter yeah. Am I right in thinking Roy Jones Jr participated in this activity too??

 

McClellans son talking about his Dad's dog fighting.

Lisa McClellan Jordan won't have it. She says her brother isn't talking, and she calls the dogfighting stories lies.
But up a couple of blocks, past a sign that says pit bull puppies are for sale, Gerald McClellan Jr. sits on a porch, remembering his dad and the dogs. They call the son G-Man Jr., and he's a man now, the spitting image of his father. At age 6, he'd ride his bike on the East side of town while his dad trained his pit bulls.
"Deuce was his best. I swear to God his head was this big," Gerald Jr. says as he extends his arms about an inch past his chin and the top of his head. "I remember that was the best dog he had. It was the best fighting dog he had." If Adam Pollack has not unearthed any evidence of Johnson dog fighting, after exhaustive research on his massive biography I sincerely doubt he was involved in it.

 

I've read 5 books on Dempsey, two by himself ,none mention pit bulls or dog fighting.

 

Not sure about Jones.

I've just found this photo.

That's John Colby with Jack Johnson.
