    Made that mistake mistake when I saw him of talking about fights he lost against Larry holmes and Muhammad ali instead of at first mentioning At least his destruction of Ken Norton. He was alright about it but I could of kicked myself afterwards. I was just surprised to see him on the door in liverpool.
