    :thumbsup: Interesting!

    Are the Croats and Serbs still sour with each other or are things improving?

    I don't want to stir anything up, but I remember a Serb that I knew and he was almost exactly the same as the Croat I knew. Same accent, same sort of interests. Both of them interested in a drink called slivovitz (sp?). :lol:

    There's still tension, especially between the older generations but things definitely are improving.

    The drink you're referring to is šljivovica, a form of rakia (fruit brandy) made of plums. A fairly popular drink around these parts of the globe.

    Thanks for the reply. That's the word I was looking for - šljivovica. They made it out to be fantastic LOL. Hey maybe it is ;)

    Young and Donald had nothing in common, apart from being black.

    Bowe wasn't a defensive master compared to any elite HW, journeymen had no problem landing on him. He got hit so much he was severely brain damaged by his late 20s. Foreman was still fighting at elite level nearly 50.

    Toney’s punch drunkenness came after he turned into a fat HW and took beatings way past his prime. Bowe took more clean punches in a few years than Toney took in his whole career.

    Bowe was a punching bag. End of story.

    Well Foreman obviously had SOMETHING better than both Bowe and Toney.

    That's why he's still able to speak intelligible English.

    Well, I guess you are wrong. In fact, Foreman got hit with a lot more hard flush shots than Toney.

    Bowe looked very poor vs Donald. Vitali knocked Donald out.

    18-3 in the poll in favor of Foreman.

    Bowe looked excellent against prime undefeated Donald. That Donald was a carbon copy of Chris Byrd only with better feet.

    Vitaley looked poor and lost against Burd. Bowe didn't drop a round to Donald.

    The poll looks about right. Im split down the middle maybe give Foreman the edge. You must have mistaken me for a fanboi like you.
