    Forgot to mention Scott Harrison. Hes inside now. Got a lot of issues that guy. I actually feel a bit sorry for him

    In addition to some of the responses already given about the **** charge, Berbick has always sounded like a rather unlikable individual from everything I've heard and read. A lot of people never forgave him for the beating that he gave Muhammad Ali, and throughout his life and career was constantly in confrontations.. The fact that he was a ******, a brawler and a man who was ultimately murdered in a very fishy sounding story, leaves one with the implication that he wasn't a very nice human being.

    I don't think Ali ever did prison time. He did like a weekend in county for driving with a suspended license but no "big house" time.

    He fought a lot in a pretty crappy era as it was (mid to late 70's). He was the kind of guy that if he were at the right time/place he could have taken a belt in any era, though lacked top-tier skills and talent. The heavyweight division, morso than any other, is just that way. It's a punch or two away from being 180 degrees turned.

    That is the sentence I was reffering to.

    I did not distinguish between one type of prison and another.

    Schmeling received a short sentence in postwar Germany for failing to submit a planning aplication before he constructed a building.

    The sentence seems quite harsh relative to the offense.
