    Roy Jones!!? Roy Jones!!?? A poor man's Battling Levinsky!

    You've changed Cross Trainer, you've changed. You've been listening too much to Pat M & Kevin. Ok fine. You know what? Stick to your Men's Health magazine, your Eminem's, your Vasyl Lomachenko and Usyk's.

    We will do just fine with our 1920s newspaper clippings, Frank Sinatra, Cuban Cigar's, Sandy Saddler and Packey McFarland.

    Maybe I'm being a bit harsh. Now I sound like @mcvey when he lambasts me for smoking cigars instead of pipes, drinking in the Bronx tavern instead of a Texas Saloon, and watching tapes of Benny Leonard instead of Bob Fitzsimmons and James J Corbett.

    Who's Packet McFarland? Did he use the Philly shell? All good boxers use the Philly shell. Like Tyson. He had an awesome peekaboo Philly shell.

    Well, screw you guys, anyway. I'm gonna watch Povetkin fall beneath the thunderous caresses of Wladimir Klitschko again, while I furiously stroke the copy of Mackie Shilstone's Lean and Hard that I keep at my bedside table.

    Over 12 rounds I have Bowe.

    Over the real men’s distance of 45 rounds give me Battling Jim every day of the week.

    For men of the ilk of Battling Jim the first 12 rounds were just foreplay (and real men back then didn’t do sissy crap like foreplay!!)
