Declining to Die: Ali vs Foreman

Thanks. Enjoy Paris!

 

French people are friendly bunch

 

Just expect literally no one to know English. I tried to buy a croissant there, I was pointing at it, saying "croissant" over and over but that lady just kept showing that she hasn't got a clue what I want. The only people who do speak English work in Louvre or walk around Eiffel selling umbrellas.

 

Bump for an excellent breakdown.

Please don't bring any further attention to that idiotic thread. Escudo would probably stop posting here if he saw the **** James Schmit and Galvatmoron spewed in the Joshua vs Ali thread.

 

Point taken, thanks.

 

They've got another one now, prolly reached a reply limit in the first one or something. Remember, it's all about who's faster at sprints

 

Haha yeah. And don't forget that It means that you're master at countering over the jab and master at cutting off the ring when you KO the great Gary Cornish. An accomplishment that no other HW in the history came close to.

 

Smart money is on Joshua by early KO...

 

They all know, trust me, yes, even mademoiselle croissant. They simply choose not to let on. This is because they are very, very, French.

The trick to being understood in Paris is to attempt your own, deeply mangled version of the French language. After a few seconds of inflicting the kind of verbal desecration only Les Rosbiffs have truly mastered, you will see a look of pained resignation on their face and they will reply in perfect English, seeking to get you on your way as quickly as possible so they can forget the entire ghastly business.

It's fair enough when you think about it. They have a lovely language and a beautiful city. The least one can do is attempt to Parlez francais...
