    In fact McGrain clearly used the jive-inator.

    I don't think he'd beat Holyfield, who put on weight better than spinks did. People might conjecture on why ......

    Agreed about 175. He was one of the best ever at that weight. Loved to have seen him fight foster, same kind of frame, different fighters but both could box (particularly spinks) and both could punch (particularly foster)

    Spinks vs Foster would be a dream fight to watch... But I'd go for Spinks

    He was a great Lt Heavy and only competitive at Heavy, People like to give him more credit than he deserves.

    George as far as my definition of 'ebonics' goes you may be well right. 'Racism'? How much longer can we trowel out that overworked BS? He spoke jive ass garbage plain and simple! Get lost or post something creditable. And...you might want to work on your own English. "Another reason why the Chinese is America's Daddy!!!" I've just 'schooled' you. You're dead, go get yourself buried!
