    ...don’t have the video technology to pick up the elusive Billy Pickles on camera.

    Discuss.

    I have recently learned that unless you are a Francis Ford Coppola level video editor, recognized on YouTube, we’re probably simply not qualified to evaluate video footage. Look I’m not gonna pretend that I’ve taken the time to evaluate your YouTube like but until you taken snippets of old fights and matched them to new music don’t claim to understand boxing! Capiche?!

    Billy's also been dabbling in pro wrestling in Japan in recent years:

    Whoa. I think we have the first credible Pickles non-sighting on our hands since Greb.

    This is far better than the '67 Missouri footage, which depicts nobody walking through the woods, and then not appearing to turn around and look at the camera.

    If Billy Pickles weren't around someone would have had to invent him.

    That actually isn't Pickles. Canelo Alvarez stayed out of the sun leading up to his fight with Kirkland and turned transparent as a result.

    Canelo's invisibility came from accidental contamination due to eating invisible Mexican cows.
