    Let me tell you something from personal experience outside of a ring: It can be far more difficult to stop drug-addled people than the regular version of themselves. Trust me on that. When my grandma was on PCP during the Christmas of '97, and she wanted to go to 7-Eleven in the nude, the whole family tried to physically restrain her. And we paid dearly for it.

    I think DLH was like a ten to one favorite. I think Camacho got this fight because he beat the ghost of SRL.

    Many people felt that Cuevas and Hearns were evenly matched, or that Cuevas was the favorite...until the fight started.

    Well PCP wasn't cheap in 97.

    I’m gonna say Delahoya vs Trinidad…I didn’t expect Oscar to outbox him that easily

    Oh geez, that was freaking hilarious.

    The biggest problem we had with my Grandma was in the Xmas of ‘88 when, in a crowded shopping centre, she cheekily and covertly switched her motorised shopping cart from tortoise to rabbit speed - all hell broke loose, the ensuing road kill of other innocent Xmas shoppers was awful.

    Maybe some of you guys read about? - it was in all the papers, or at least it copped a 2 line mention in our local rag.

    Back in the day I seem to remember some boxing journalists here in the UK and some fans saying Michael Spinks had the style to nullify Tyson and sneak a decision in a close fight.
    That’s not quite how it worked out of course…

    Don't mention PCP. Unless you got some.

    I gave it up after seeing a naked old woman running round my 7-Eleven. With hallucinations like that who needs it.
