    I love the "stalking style" when GGG cuts the ring off. A thing of beauty to watch

    I realize the public school system in Alabama is lacking, so let me spell it out for you.

    Wilder’s name does not belong in the same sentence or conversation with two ATGs, Marciano and Foreman. The only exception is if you’re talking about the fact that Deontay couldn’t carry their jock straps, shout out to Larry Holmes.

    :lol: I don't care if it dries yer ***** up you twink. Unless you've something to say beyond "nuh-huh" why not just shut the **** up while grown ass mens is speaking and let someone with more than "nuh-huh" to say handle challenging my claims?

    [url]https://imgflip.com/gif/1kgtfb[/url] Don't follow URL, waste of time, ain't no parallels to be observed. :lol:

    The idea that a great fighter can't be compared to his lesser is ****ing dumb, no respect for you son, you're an idiot. Here's yer dunce cap, find a corner, simmer until something penetrates that thick skull of yours. Then respond to me explaining why George and Rocco's are different from Wilder's. Otherwise I'm just going to go out of my way to harrass you as often as you do me....and I'm the one whose education system failed him huh, mookey?

    Before the injuries piled up, for sure: very smooth stylistically, slick defence and movement, great timing and shot selection, and explosiveone-shot power. :thumbsup:

    The poster to whom you refer has indeed been tailed by a Showtime documentary crew, but he's a little less ostentatious in his tastes when it comes to splashing the sums generated from his scientific craft than Wilder is.

    I will say no more, except - The Vice King walks among us.

    i liked tommy hearns when he was on form

    beautiful stylist for a ko artist

    the power flowed and was natural / never forced his punchs which most power punchers do.

    fast hands / flowing style/good punch output / fought a whos who.

    The only reason why you read that like I'm being intimidating is because you've a complex. You don't have to be a tough guy to mock a mook, mookey.

    At the risk of a derail, still Marty's best.

    Mean Streets is good, but it ain't got **** on Goodfellas or Raging Bull.

    Goodfellas gets in at the back end of my Scorsese Top 10, I reckon. I'll certainly take Mean Streets, The King Of Comedy, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Who's That Knocking At My Door, Cape Fear, Casino, Taxi Driver and New York, New York over it. Possibly The Wolf Of Wall Street, too.

    I've long found LaMotta and his personal evolution fascinating, but, stunning visuals aside, I find Scorsese's (admitted) lack of understanding of his subject evident in Raging Bull, in addition to questioning the validity of Marty imposing his own Catholic guilt on a man who felt none - contrary to all the gushing reviews of his performance, I also found De Niro's characterization of the Bull to lack depth (notwithstanding a flattered Jake's approval) and always thought Cathy Moriarty stole the show from him.

    But that's just me.
