    The victory over Papillion got him the shot as Jason was using Clarke as a warm up for his shot at Vargas.

    It was a proper boxing fairytale and Howard did not disgrace himself in his big fight.

    LOL, please Cus or no Cus; Tyson was always going to implode and that is not using hindsight...

    It is probably best Cus died when he did because we were saved the tragic sight of Tyson walking out on the man who made him the boxer he was. Even if he could not never truly control the monster that could be Tyson.

    He was interviewed in November/December after the latest Zab Judah fight and would struggle to make Super-middle now... :-(

    Apparently so, I've not seen it.

    Fair play to him for taking the fight and attempting to fulfill a dream.

    ------------------------------------

    On the 1988 Olympics... I just don't get how you could have Jones losing. He landed more punches than the other guy threw, IMO the Korean is as big a victim as Jones. He was humiliated in front of the world, then had to receive a fake Gold medal.... instead of being allowed to receive a creditable Silver and be glad to have shared the ring with RJJ.

    Billy Conn not running for the last 2 rounds! He wouldn't have lasted long as Champ, Louis would have beat in a re-match, as he did anyway, but we would have had some great stories!

    Just thought of another one: Robinson sticking it out for just two more rounds against Maxim to become LHW Champ and add even more to his legend. The heat was the injustice!

    And what I hate even more about what happened that day is that after Calzaghe won the Light-Heavyweight title some twats even got around to saying that he achived something that even Robinson had failed to do :-(

    Is that ITP?

    Factor V Leiden (I know it sounds like something in a hair product, but that's what it's actually called!). It's a rare defect which makes my blood thicker than Mr Average's. I amost died from it a few years ago:lol:. If I suffer a trauma to the head I'll probably peg it. I have been told repeatedly that I am not allowed to play or partake in contact sports anymore as the risk of suffering a haemorrage or clot is too high:-(. Bull**** blood.
