    Who is that celebrating Joe Louis in your avatar, Boxed Ears? Random fans? I do like that photo very much. Going by the 10 pt. must system, his and Foreman's power rate a 10.

    Thanks, I edited it a little bit but I don't think anyone noticed baby Valuev at the bottom. :lol: I'll upload and post the big pic. It's a still snapshot from a youtube video- Post fight interview with Max Baer after the Galento fight with Louis and Lou Costello, who was in a movie with both Baer brothers and used to box a bit, I think.

    I saw it before he edited it. He was asking what´s the difference between beeing past prime and shot.

    Oh. I just thought he was letting us know he was taking a long pause. A long, meaningful pause. Perhaps squinting to see Baby Valuev in my avatar.

    Im tired of hearing that if Tyson was inshape he would have beat Douglas. BS! That night Douglas beats any version of Tyson.

    Tyson was a bully who lost when someone stood upto him

    Tyson had no heart

    Tyson lost to every great fighter he fought
