    John L Suilvan had people who carried him around as champion. Emperor style, they lived in his garage.

    A tough job indeed, particularly when the Boston Strong Boy was transitioning into the Boston Fat Boy, wearing the Emperor’s “new” and improved heavy suit.

    In the spirit of the thread, based on very tentative rhyme and logic, I’m guessing Kostya Tszyu owns and rides a SeaDoo.

    I never claimed to be poet, in case you didn’t know it.

    SeaDoo was the best that I could Doo.

    If there is a better rhyme, you might find it, if you have the necessary time.

    I know, it’s a ridiculous gift that I have, it never turns off, even when I’m in the Lav.

    According to George Chuvalo, Joe Frazier drove a very fast VW while big George Foreman like to nonchalantly cruise around in his Mack Truck.

    Chuvalo might’ve upgraded Joe to a speeding Corvette or Ferrari later in the piece, I can’t recall while George apparently remained in his big old truck - driving that much slower but with a heavier load in later years.

    Floyd Patterson conquers all, he flew planes - not sure which type. Correct, obviously not the KittyHawk, that’s Wright.

    Floyd opted for more modern light air craft at least, certainly not the type you’d be comfortable allowing an old, morbidly obese, John L to board, Emperor status or not.

    The damn thing’s gotta get off the ground!

    I don't know what he drives but he heard a Who. Dr Seuss said so, so there. It's why he got knocked out against Foreman. So busy hearing the who that he didn't see the uppercut coming, the silly banana.

    Beautiful!

    And, who could forget, when he fought Sonny Liston, how The Big Cat was Sat on the Mat. Sonny, of course, previously being The loveable Bear in The Big House.
