I've been following his insane writings for over a year - and the man is completely nuts!

He has spent 3 decades studying boxing records, and can cite hundreds of examples of older elite boxers defeating younger ones (Schmeling vs Louis, Ali vs Foreman, etc) - which "proves" (in his opinion!) that boxing is in steady decline.

This decline takes place at a rate of one division (he only counts the 8 classic divisions) per decade - which means, that (for example) today's best lightweights will beat the best welterweights in 2023, and the best middleweights in 2033. Just like they would lose to the best featherweights from 2003 and the best bantamweights from 1993!

This extensive "scientific" research enables him to formulate what he calls The Zivic Mismatch/Overmatch Laws... which makes it possible to accurately (he believes!) predict the outcome of any fantasy match across the generations.

Take, for instance, Jimmy wilde, who dominated the flyweights back in the 1910's. Since flyweight is 7 divisions removed from the heavyweights, we can put prime Wilde in a time machine, transport him 7 x 10 years into the future... which lands him in the 1980's, where the prediction is, that he will stop both Holyfield (TKO 12-15) and Tyson (TKO 9-12)!! Just 2 of hundreds of equally crazy predictions.

Now all this would of course be great fun, if it was some kind of elaborate joke. But I'm afraid it isn't, and to think he has wasted 3 decades researching this, makes it... well, kind of sad.

He's wasting his own talent by not posting here.
