    Chris Eubank always played up his snotty nosed persona, which riled his nemesis, Nigel Benn.
    Lol, happy days.

    I want to know how Wil E. Coyote got an unlimited line of credit with Acme. Plus, how did Amazon overtake Acme in home delivery of goods — they were doing it long before Amazon came along.

    Maybe I'm thinking too hard, but any fighter who wins is usually applauded by the fans. Does anybody have specific examples of fighters winning and being totally booed by the crowd?

    Camacho was popular, I was a big fan of him as a kid.

    I was always a huge Ricardo Mayorga fan, but I literally don't know not one other fan...I even know two guys from Managua Nicaragua, and neither of them liked him. They both hated de la Hoya, but they both rooted for de la Hoya in their fight.
    I was blessed enough to see Mayorga fight Cotto at MGM, and I can confirm I was the only person there that night cheering Mayorga on.

    Haha this post and Pug’s earlier one made me laugh louder than a man my age should. Talking of Acme…was it that their products weren’t very good or was it just that Wile E just read the instructions wrong?
    Ah, Maybe that’s why Amazon overtook Acme, with Acme’s products being shown all over the world as both useless and downright dangerous!

    Prince Patel - in recent times Prince Patel drives everyone in the UK boxing media to hate on him with his arrogance and trash talking. The heat this guy brings has even managed to even make Eddie Hearn not want to sign him. And iFL TV host Kugan Cassius (Eddie’s best friend) even threatened to cave Patel’s head in! Patel doesn’t fight in the UK and has won many titles throughout the world especially in Africa. Patel has only lost 1 fight in his career as I am currently writing this fourn.

    You guys have asked the questions that we’ve all pondered for years.

    I think the intention was that ACME products were sh1t BUT as Vic suggested, I recall Coyote perhaps having issues with the instructions also.

    So far everything I’ve ordered from Amazon works and has come with easy instructions - but they’ve only been books.

    The real test will be when I order some “build it yourself in 3 easy steps” diabolical weapon (WMD) to take out the neighbours cat (jk - would never harm animals).

    Perhaps it will backfire on me, leaving me charred and smoking, as it always did for poor Wile E. Coyote.

    You’re talking about what Gomer Pyle would call ‘messing with things best left alone.’

    I couldn’t find a laughing emoji to do justice to how I’m guffawing right now! It reminded me of a drama I watched in my childhood where a criminal attempted to shoot his kidnap victim with a home made gun when the ransom wasn’t paid. But the gun backfired and he shot himself in the face.

    I’m wondering whether that gun was one of Acme’s products haha!

    Btw turning this back to the subject of boxing (I’m having far too much fun, I actually forgot for a moment that we aren’t on a Looney Tunes forum)
    …but what fantastic recuperative powers Wile E had. The great Coyote’s powers of recovery make even Muhammad Ali look like Amir Khan!!

    Haha. Nicely disguised swerve back to Wile E! He had amazing recuperative powers for sure - getting caught in those industrial sized springs that were “supposed” to propel him forward looked particularly painful.

    I have a suspicion that from time to time I’ve been deceitfully sold excess ACME products that have been rebadged. Either that or I didn’t read the instructions properly like our friend Wile E.
