    LOL, still clowning it, lying bare faced and playing the troll.

    Where’s the QUOTE I asked for? Yep, I hear crickets as usual. As forecast, you’ve got nothing, nothing but a severely damaged ego. Just another nonsensical, hot air post from you. Bring on the QUOTE!

    Even Norris acknowledged Ray’s obvious deteriorations before he fought Leonard. You’re so deluded you can’t do same and you’re actually trying to pretend the article linked, with the relevant comments therein upholding same, doesn’t exist. Playing the Ostrich. That’s more than pathetic. You ain’t fooling anyone but yourself.

    Ray didn’t get knocked out in sparring but Ray did beat Marv. Some Shutter Island treatment might be required for you to see the light and snap out of your obvious state of extreme denial.

    JT tried to “corner” you? LOL, sounds like you’re paranoid fella. He just asked you a simple yet defining question - and you still couldn’t/wouldn’t answer it lest it impugn you.

    Stay tuned for trolley’s next desperate effort to try and extricate himself from his own demonstrated ignorance……LOL

    I found the money shot or quote from the article Mr. Pugguy cited:

    Though he speaks few words, he spoke enough yesterday to express skepticism of Leonard's chances in three weeks.

    "The last couple of fights, he went down after some punches that he never would have taken when he was younger," Norris said. "When Ray was younger he could go 12 rounds. I don't know about now.

    "I think I can beat him on a points decision, but it has to be convincingly. I'm not worried about stopping him cold. He'll be doing some running, but once I catch up with him, he'll stop running.

    "This is the biggest fight of my career," he said. "It's a great opportunity to make a name for myself. It will put me in history if I win, in the books. I have no idea when and where, but it will."

    what you keep calling me Red for?

    The real Redrooster died in a 2019 bar fight. I researched it.

    If you dont believe me, ask PugGuy. he has the link to that article too

    So if redrooster is dead, then who is it talking to you now???

    I believe he is alluding to the fact that Leonard had been knocked down three times in his last three fights and those knockdowns wouldn't have occurred if he was younger.

    Not likely. we are talking the number of rounds scheduled which is related to stamina, not how many times a fighter gets decked when clocked on the chin

    you can get floored in ANY round and Ray had been floored early in rd 4 at age 27.

    Leonard had gone the full 12 his previous two fights and 3 of the last four

    strangely enough, Hagler was the only fighter of all people who could NOT floor Leonard. wonder why!

    I'm just referencing what Norris said. You and Pugguy can battle it out over what it all means

    Exactly but I did point Dunham right to it and I also quoted part thereof. Now I see he’s trying to refute the obvious meaning of the quote that he said didn’t exist. Certifiable as I said. There is nothing to battle out. It’s there in black and white. The guy is simply in clinical denial and a boxing forum isn’t the place to sort out his issues. See how he’s “stuck” and can’t discuss anything but. LOL.

    What, you researched it but can’t even provide a link to your own alleged demise?

    Why am I not surprised. Your typical M.O.

    The Rooster has laid yet another egg - very much in line with every other self contradiction and falsehood he’s managed.

    Cocka Doodle Doo!! Give yourself an uppercut Foghorn. LOL.

    That's a bit rich coming from a rooster that just avoided my question outright and in fact tried to answer it with a question!!!!

    Canelo was bothered by Floyd’s speed and his reach, not his power.
