    I don't think he ever had to be a warrior!

    He was stopped prematurely against McCall, and was dominating Rahman pretty easily until getting knocked spark out......

    Take it you didn't see the Klitshcko, Mercer and Briggs fights. Plus he got off the deck against Akinwande. :good

    The real LL only ever came out when he felt threatened. Otherwise he always fought within himself. This style endeared him to no one considering his awesome physical dimensions and stature. It was bit like watching Shaquille ONeal lay up the ball instead of savagely dunking it. Even Manny had to implore him to KO Tyson instead of ****ing around.

    Manny had more chance of beating him than Tyson that night.

    Boy was Iron Mike shot that night.

    More like Sodium Mike

    Calzaghe isn't even in the top 5.

    Bob Fitzsimmons, Ted Kid Lewis, Jimmy Wilde, Lennox Lewis, Ken Buchanan.

    Wrong again.

    Whether or not someone is an ex-pro is of no relevance.

    Anyone can come up with a good point, and on the flipside anyone can talk out of their arse - in which case someone will respond accordingly.

    On the above point, please take note :hi:

    I've had better judges then some computer whizz like yourself pay me compliments regarding my performances and ability. Do a bit yourself do you? We could always catch up for a spar if you fancy your chances.

    If you don't take the board to seriously why you bothered about me desecrating it with my holiday posts.

    Been an ex-pro means nothing your right but having an objective and intelligent opinion does. Sorry for saying nasty things about your dream boy.
