    Ahhhh so you're saying he doesn't qualify because he's already the best fighter to come out of Georgia, and it would be unfair to give him Texas as well? We underestimated your genius Pugs. Consider yourself spared!

    Dunno which is bigger, Texas or Big George. They are worthy of one another.

    I thought you were (rightfully) saying he would leave a trail of men lying unconscious on the canvas. Also who is this "Ike" you speak of?

    As I told you, we all have COVID in my family. As you know one of the symptoms is brain fog. So forgive me, if my memory's not all there.

    That’s what they call Long Covid, retroactively applied.

    Whoa, you’re a savant when it comes to Georgia. I’m guessing you might be a fan of the classic toon below.

    I think @swagdelfadeel could do his own video edit to the same music - only featuring vision and images of Cleveland Williams, of course.

    Or, Swag could take it one step further, slightly modifying the lyrics by replacing “Georgia” with “Cleveland”. :lol:

    Not to be a wiseguy, but I think he was from Oklahoma. But you're right, he fought everyone.
