    Nature abhors a vacuum and @cross_trainer hasn’t been around with the from-left-field topics for a bit so …

    Very good but my undying loyalty to Ingemar forces me to stifle my laughter.

    For me, Thor was always a Big Cheese in boxing, despite some big holes in that cheese.

    They’re fun - just shooting the sh*t. No critiques, judgments or arguments. A promotion of good will and a very nice “go to” just for that fact.

    The Boxers who were Vegetables thread was kind of corny.

    Boxers who were Fish went along swimmingly.

    Boxers who were Fruits was pretty juicy.

    This one is just plain cheesy.

    I know, right? That one should’ve “jumped” up at you the second you started the thread.

    I held back because I didn’t want to steal your thunder.

    I’m STILL waiting on the “Boxers who were coagulants” thread - I’m a patient man but I can’t keep “Monsel Griffin” in my back pocket forever.

    It’ll start making an impression like the prophylactic in my wallet.

    On a side note, on of John L Sullivan's hobbies was making cheese.

    A local creamery used to let him come in through the back door, and play around with their kit.
