    :lol: The most amusing aspect for me is that it was a REAL gotcha - you highlighted that he contradicted himself and that he clearly upheld his bias.

    But it kept giving because he then replied and incorrectly implied that your merely identified a TYPO?

    Lol, since when did fully expressed sentiments/opinions, exposed after the fact, become innocent typos?

    We’ve come along way technologically but as far as I know, we’ve yet to invent an “autocorrect”‘feature for errant logic, self contradiction and ultimate hypocrisy.

    One day maybe, one day…..we currently have Grammarly, maybe the futurist app we really need might be called Smarterly?

    Briggs "earned" the shot at Foreman because he was knocked out by Darroll Wilson 18 months before and because he had serious stamina problems caused by asthma. From memory, SB, when he could breathe was too mobile and quick for GF, when he had to slow down because of the asthma, GF would do better. Briggs was not chosen as an opponent for GF because he was considered a top contender, he was chosen because he had shown the right type of vulnerabilities.

    So basically when Briggs was unaffected by asthma he was winning easily and the only parts of the fight Foreman was going ok in was when Briggs was affected by asthma.

    Can you watch the fight again and break it down into segments where Briggs is asthma free and able to "breathe" and when he wasn't???

    I've seen some ball tearers in here Patty M but this one might just take the damn cake!!

    This is the only blip on the brother’s record, but it is a major one. Heavyweight boxing has suffered a huge decline in talent in the past decade. The brothers have dominated in a poor era of Heavyweight boxing.

    of the great Sonny Liston in the face of some of the ridiculous comments made about
    Sonny.

    Cheers and likewise.

    Let it be said, you were slicing and dicing him perfectly all on your own - just wanted to let you know it was well recognised.

    He might be what you’d call the anti-welcoming committee, the would-be resident shock jock of the forum. Lol.
