    Well I have the advantage over you because I have seen you .I'm 60 now and I dont look at myself anymore than I have to.When I was fighting I had a 41 in chest and a 32 in waist,chest is around 43 now ,but sadly waist in up to 35in.I never considered that there was "something there to actually look at ",when I was in my prime ,see what I mean about self regard?
    Do you cover yourself in oil ?
    Have you a posing thong?
    You can tell me, it will be our little secret.

    I dont think it was Leotis's power, he took Listons best and kept coming then he threw a 2 piece on a swolen and spent-ish liston and that was all she wrote.....Leotis took Sonny's best

    I'd love to share some secrets with you, you ****ing barrel chest hunk you. :thumbsup

    It's funny, I post a picture of myself in a thread dedicated to that very purpose, and you accuse me of showing off blah blah blah.

    Then YOU ****ing start posting detailed body measurments.

    Pot, meet the kettle...

    Foster had the undefeated fighters build -up very muscular like Cleveland Williams...I saw that fight live at the garden and was impressed with records at the time 24-24 KO's.....problem was Mac KO'd the opponent type and was exposed vs Quarry (who was already in with Frazier,Etc.....Quarry was good vs those Big slower Muscular guys...Quarry was hooking to the body pretty good and then unfolded Mac in the 6th......Mac never showed power when he moved up in class but Im sure he had some power it just did not reveil itself when Mac stepped up

    People say the same thing about Earnie Shaver's never truly KO'ing anyone with an iron chin, or Ron Stander taking his best and then knocking him out.

    And really, I think it's how they deliver that power. That's a completely seperate asset then raw power by itself. Where as Earnie had to club guys into submission at times Tyson was a precise sharpshooter who could land a less powerful but more accurate shot.

    You go by the actual fighters like what Quarry and Tyson had to say about Foster and that's far more convincing to me then who he did or didn't end up knocking out. He didn't exactly fight Norton, Frazier, Lyle, or even Shavers.

    Why did you post a picture of yourself half naked posing for the camera? Why not an ordinary snapshot of your face?
    I did not say you were showing off I said you are self regarding ,as in narcissistic.My chest has a generous proportion of surplus lard on it nowadays, as has my waist,You would not want my body ,I dont want it ,still its what Ive got.I gave you the measurements so that you could form a mental image to go with your masturbatory fantasies of me,you amorous little rascal.ps If I get hold of a pair of Magri's boxing shorts will you model them for me?:tong

    i've got a ring magazine somewhere(dec/jan1969/70) that has a report on this sparring session by archie moore.archie says there was NO knockout and that by the end of the session sonny was getting the better of foster.
    "there won't be too many nights before sonny's horses turn into pumpkins"
    sonny said .archie also said that at that time he thought liston would have too much for joe frazier

    So where exactly does the story come from of Foster KOing Liston in sparring and Liston needing smelling salts to revive himself?
