    Brian Yates vs the bones and gristle of the late Jack Dempsey's corpse.


    I feel that since Yates is still alive he could outfight Dempsey's remains.

    Yates UD Dempsey

    Oh yeah, Yates defeated the fearsome punching Earnie Shavers back in 1995.

    Heres a video of me working on speed drills with Mike Tyson in March of 88 shortly before the Tubbs fight in Tokyo. I was told to move around and get Tyson used to a mobile elusive target to prepare him for Tubbs.

    That's you? You were a pro fighter? Why did I think you were black?

    I've seen a ton of Tyson footage but it never gets old. That was awesome. Anyone saying he's not a natural athlete are out of their mind. He move so fluidly and dodges punches very well. You can also tell his jabs were VERY heavy.

    Is that really you in the teal shirt or is that the believable absurd part of your post?

    Would you believe that a man who once beat Alexis Arguello by decision couldn't last two rounds with Julio C. Chavez? I'm talking about Scott Walker!

    There is only one man who can boast that he beat Wilfred Benitez (W1010) and Roberto Duran (TKO6) in back to back wins. This man is Pat Lawlor!!
