    One of the best ever. Who could ever forget the high-flying asscrack of '93?

    OK here is another one. Late afternoon, After construction work. 3-4 hundred in my pocket. No bank account. Roommate the same as me. Rent is past due. He says" u know boxing, lets roll with the Foreman fight tonight" We call the bookie for hours to no avail. Go to the bar and watch a tailor made opponent for Foreman run, box and play safe ---and win. How did Tommy pull that off? I was ready to be evicted for that "pick". Needless to say, the bookie apologized for not being around {pager} and I have lived happily ever after. Honestly have not t bet on boxing since. Just sit and enjoy

    I thought Mullings should have gotten the nod vs. Raul Marquez, but yeah he was brought in as cannon fodder. Norris was looking pretty good through the first 6-7 rounds as I recall too.

    Foreman vs Schulz.

    schulz was robbed blind but the writing was on the wall for Big George as this unheard of German fighter with little power pummeled him the second half of the fight.
    Foreman swerved away from Tony Tucker and got his just desserts.

    Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 and 4, Pacquiao thought Marquez was older and not at his natural weight saw what Mayweather did to him, And paid the price....

    That isn't what happened at all. What happened was one fat dude was somewhere abouts 75% of a cherry pick, but that fat dude got popped trying to ingest everything under the sink in an attempt magic away his fatness, but ended up getting caught. They then went down the line a bit to find an even fatter guy for their pick and that was when it went to feces
