    Tyson took it to the next level though.
    "woman like noises" was the next level up from "woman gestures".

    Holyfield said Mike was "like a babymother whining about child support payments."

    Are you really that stupid to think a fracture in any part of the human anatomy, let alone one in which you use everyday to talk, and eat with does not hurt at all.
    He fought approximately 9 fighters who were under 190 pounds. Median opponent Cruiserweight my ass.

    Coworker of mine had a very similar injury. Best basketball player I've ever seen! He wanted to go to NBA. He's the brother of a famous wrestler (now deceased) and has best friends in the NBA. Has a nasty foot injury very similar to yours ended his career on the spot. This was 30 something years ago and it still has not recovered. Has yours?

    It was popped back into place by a sweaty ex-marine. I've done it a few times since but nothing long term or debilitating. It pops out, swells up and is fine in a week.

    His fighters median didn´t exceed the Cruiserweight limit and is 20 pounds lighter than opponents of 80s fighters aka the "bad era blabla...", like Tyson and others for example. Liston did not feed on standard 217lb heavyweight guys. Even without statistics, you can see it in seconds with one eye on his record. The point is: Sonny himself was a fullblown heavy himself and had, beside 70s Foreman, the biggest weight advantage over his earlier generation heavyweight fighters.

    What did I just quote from a fighter with heart??? ""Funny, the jaw didn't hurt so much in the fight," Ali later told Sports Illustrated's Tex Maule. "Under all the heat and the excitement, you don't feel it."

    Yet you come to proove Sonny was some heart-soldier, even if there are TWO CASES of eye burning chemicals and one of the most embarrassings crawlings over the ground in Liston-Ali 2 the world has ever seen. I´m sorry for rectifiying your "hero facts".
