He was also a first class dancer, although this needs citation.
We all know Marciano's chances are none at best. Part of Fitz's training involved uprooting telephone posts as he ran past them at a speed which...
Not Vitali's fault no, well done to him! I simply stand as a man who is in shock at how bad the division is. It wasn't even a decent KO! And a...
From Diaz - Margarito they have all been (as a group) pretty darn easy to nail. Now there is no doubt Pacquiao has improved a ton, but back when...

The fight was horrible, awful. It was there for Hopkins but that version of ol' Hoppy was too circumspect to pull it out of the bag like he would...
Thou shall claim the victor was on 'roids if thy loses.
