Well, in case you're being sarcastic, in 1992, the WBC threatened to strip Evander Holyfield of his title for defending it against Riddick Bowe instead of Razor Ruddock. Holyfield obtained a court order to stop the organization. In a taped deposition for the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Holyfield stated that the WBC wanted him to defend his championship against Ruddock because Ruddock was managed by Don King.[5] As a compromise, Evander Holyfield's promoter Dan Duva agreed to let the winner of Lewis vs Ruddock fight the winner of Holyfield vs Bowe. It this article below it shows that Ruddock was promised a shot for Holyfield's title if he beats Lewis. He obviously felt that he was stepped over for Bowe who at the time was perceived to be a softer touch. It was largely expected that both Holyfield and Ruddock would meet and fight for the title. Turns out both the underdogs won leading to what should have been a Bowe vs Lewis fight but it never materialized. Bowe had no reason to take on the still dangerous Ruddock whose stock has dropped after the Lewis fight. Lewis was now the guy in the front of the line. Ruddock was an after thought. http://www.nytimes.com/1992/07/03/s...oxing-ruddock-to-fight-lewis-in-the-fall.html
some very good points made by sandman in this thread. Ruskull why is it when you have no argument to a good point you just make some ******ed comment to try to belittle what the other person has said rather than using facts and boxing knowledge to argue your point. We all know you think Wlad is the greatest of all time... don't get so upset when 90% of the world doesn't agree with you.... nuthugging twat
"Nuthugging Twat" Hypocrisy anyone? I never said Wlad was the greatest of all time. I used plenty of explanations as to why I think Wlad beats any version of Mercer or Ruddock or Morrison and if you can't see that then this discussion is futile. I'm supposed to believe Bruno & Mercer would out jab Wlad? Please..............
Oh lord, I'm going to be serious with you now: -Everything I provided has been well documented and sourced, even the King Tut joke after his DNA test results leaked. You only provided a possible explantation for his hair that doesn't necessarily disprove anything but it makes for good argument. The findings of the initial Ramses II research still stand and are widely accepted. As your own "hair" soruce states, despite caucasian apperance so called "African" hair on ancient mummies has still been identified by the same availalbe microscopic analysis used on Ramses II. Just not the case with him and a few other mummies. And I never said for certain Ramses II was white outside of indirect trolling to **** you off, I honestly have no idea but when his mummy was researched in the 80s it was determined there was a strong probability he was white or related heritage. And as your hair article points out his was a time when mummies previously believed to be caucasion were actually discovered to be "African." Considering there is no scientific research that leans towards the black African side of the argument for Ramses II as we now understand the term, its kind of hard to come to that conclusion with such religious conviction so I'm having fun at your expense. We are still learning so much about these people, its strange to be so close minded with a line drawn in the sand. -I don't give a **** how Egyptians depicted Ramses II, their art was strongly metaphoric. There really isn't anything more to add, my trolling at least got you to explain yourself better and I have a better understanding of where you are coming from now. And you didn't even get the Peter Cushing joke? Good god man! Of course, not every use of color in Egyptian art was symbolic. When overlapping objects, such as when portraying a row of oxen, the colors of each animal is alternated so as to differentiate each individual beast. Apart from these practical considerations though, it is safe to say that the Egyptian use of color in their art was largely symbolic. This content is protected In ancient Egypt, black (kem) was a symbol of death and of the night. Osiris, the king of the afterlife was called "the black one." One of the few real-life people to be deified, Queen Ahmose-Nefertari was the patroness of the necropolis. She was usually portrayed with black skin, although she was not a negro. Anubis, the god of embalming was shown as a black jackal or dog, even though real jackals and dogs are typically brown.
You have NOT provided ANY sources. Please give me a source to back your assertions or STFU. I think the reason why you've been hesitant to provide a source is because most of the drivel you've been posting comes from Stormfront or some other White Supremists website. Stop wasting your time....
-As I said, it has not been refuted. :roll: No more than your look at the pretty picture claims that seem to be the foundation of your scary convinctions. -http://www.egyptianmyths.net/colors.htm The art stuff is just from a little education site, but this is well known anyway. My lord...you think that was Nazi ****? - You want a source for the King Tut joke? I have no idea what to read into it...but it caused a big sensation. Guess its a make of it what you will until more comes out. Despite the refusal of the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, to release any DNA results which might indicate the racial ancestry of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the leaked results reveal that King Tut’s DNA is a 99.6 percent match with Western European Y chromosomes. The DNA test results were inadvertently revealed on a Discovery Channel TV documentary filmed with Hawass’s permission — but it seems as if the Egyptian failed to spot the giveaway part of the documentary which revealed the test results. Hawass previously announced that he would not release the racial DNA results of Egyptian mummies — obviously because he feared the consequences of such a revelation. This content is protected What makes this interesting is Tutankhamun's parent's were brother and sister, making them both western European as well. His grandfather, Amenhotep III, reigned for 39 years when Egypt reached the peak of artistic and international power.
We don't agree much, man but this is what I've been saying. :deal Tua was an outstanding prospect but he burned out as quickly as he shined.
There is a saying about people who live in glass houses. You had me fooled. From what I've noticed all you've done is insult someone who disagree's with you without presenting a concrete argument. You don't have to out jab Wlad to beat him. In any case both Bruno and Mercer have underrated jabs.
