    ...and don't read it by the deadline of next Tuesday...I will come to your home and punch your pets in the face. If they're small pets that won't bite. I'm not kidding. I don't like to travel, but I will do it. :twisted:

    Here's the article. I am not bluffing. I have knocked out goldfish, turtles, a toothless basset hound, and badly dazed the horse that Duran turned into a giraffe with an uppercut...read the article. You will enjoy it, if it's new to you (or not, really). I found it while looking for the Duran/Cuevas story. :lol: Ahhh...my Google search history involves the full last line of that story. :-(

    Note: I won't really hit your pets. JG would not approve. It was a bluff. :blurp

    When I was in London years ago, Henry Cooper, the former British and European heavyweight king, told me a very funny story:

    Cooper was training for Ali, and he and two of his huge sparring partners, Joe Bygraves and Joe Erskine, where in a lorry driving some place, and they were laughing and having such a good time, Cooper wasn't paying as close attention to traffic as he should have and he cut a driver off.

    At the light, this scrawny little civil-servant type jumped out his car, livid, and raced over to Cooper's window and screamed at him.

    Cooper tried to apologize, but the guy was having none of it... and, suddenly slapped Cooper in the face.

    With that, the doors of the lorry flew open and Cooper and the two menacing sparring partners surrounded the little guy. The little guy looked around a few times, then said to Cooper: "YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE WITH YOUR MATES!"

    Cooper said they all exploded with laughter and just got back in the Lorry.

    :lol:

    Lamotta should have hung that actor out of a window for slapping him
