    There were people passionately arguing that Carnera was a better all-around fighter than Bowe? And nobody ran them out of the forum on a rail? What the helly?

    Carnera’s the better all around circus performer, I’ll give him that.

    We who defended Carnera have been thoroughly vindicated by the irreducible logic of 21st century technology.

    Everybody who voted for Bowe needs to eat humble pie.
