    I am chill, dude. You don’t make it to seventy if you are not. I haven’t been in a fight in over forty years and never started one. However, the fights I was in, there was no such thing as rules. lol at keeping your head down. You would get picked on more because you would be considered soft.

    Give up your obsession with 'running the yard' and prison gangs and the like and you'll be fine. Just because you don't go around getting into fights doesn't mean you'll be seen as some mug. Just carry yourself in a reasonable way and people know.

    This whole 'smack the biggest guy in the yard on your first day' BS is TV nonsense.

    lol What are you going on about? I’m an attorney and never spent a day in jail in my life. However, I was raised in Detroit where you had to fight to prove yourself. Like I said, if you kept your head down, you was considered soft and got picked on so you ended up in fights whether you wanted to or not.

    Yea and I'm from Baltimore and starting a fist fight results in you taking some hot lead. So nah, fighting is not a way of proving toughness though. It's a good way to take a bullet though.

    Man I lived in Baltimore in those fierce times when the Barksdale and Stanfield crews were at war.
    Had to make sure you were tooled up then. I wouldn't dare try to front anyone with just my mitts and wits.

    I live in the suburbs now. I left. Baltimore is the most dangerous city in the country by far. It has 4 times the murder rate of Chicago.

    I lived near the city county line on the city side. So it was safer than the center parts of the inner city. But was still robbed twice. And no I didnt resist. I just gave them my stuff. I was 16 and 18 years old and was robbed by a much larger grown man both times. I didnt go all Rambo and get my ass kicked. I called it day.

    Even the inner harbor is dangerous. Plenty of motor vehicle thefts and property crimes occur there. As well as robberies. That's where all the yuppies live and hang out. Your life isn't in as much danger there though.

    The Wire was awesome. And yes there is no point in fighting in Baltimore.

    Keep their head down meaning what?

    A man in jail for abusing women, will get ****ed with. Stevenson apparently beat the mother ****er down. All I'm saying is that it's not Karmic, if the other guy started it.

    The thing about Stevenson is he always picked on somebody who was overmatched. Be it women or random civilians, smaller guys in jail, or overmatched pro boxers. When he finally stepped up and fought a dangerous opponent his own size he was beaten down. He can dish it out but cant take it?

    How do you know that his prison fights were with smaller men?

    Turd, it's not healthy to stalk other men over thousands of miles, especially men who would have you soiling your trunks if you ever met them in person.

    Dawson, Cloud, Bellew, Fonfara, Bika, Jack and Gvodzyk were all one of the 10 best 175 pounders at the time Stevenson fought them. To claim that he only faced overmatched opponents is quite a bit of hateration. Outside of his **** and pimping conviction, feel free to link articles that discuss, his other picking on, that you are bringing up. I'm interested in knowing more. He can dish it out, and he can take it. He's just 41 now, and was inactive. He lost to a younger guy with some boxing skill and talent. It happens to most old champs.
