    Go for standard Crown Lager out of the upper class. There's some good new ones but start here. I've drank a fair bit of Crown Gold lately, the mid strength one. Don't want to get too out of line on a Saturday night in here

    :lol:

    Its laughable that you label me as having unsatisfactory knowledge and lacking in common sense, when over the last few days, you have been called on multiple occasions for giving incorrect information about fighter's ratings and have repeatedly been cought contradicting yourself in debates. Not to mention, starting whole threads entitled with crap like " Vitali Klitschko knocked down Corrie Sanders. " Any idiot can watch that fight on youtube and see that there was no knockdown. Even the referee declared that there was no knockdown. Almost every poster who responded to your thread told you there was no knockdown, but you continued to rant on. I think I heard another poster mention that you started this same thread not once, but twice in the same year? By the way, the Smith-Witherspoon fight was highly speculated by many to be a fix, and Witherspoon's falling out with King had nothing to do with your revisionist ideas about him not wanting to face Tyson.

    A classic-classless individual...Hmmmm...:huh


    My reasoning of your ignorance stems from your uninformed statements.

    I think you've pretty much established yourself that this is not the case.

    You don't always seem to use your resources to the best of your advantage.


    Sure, Chris Pointius, Mr. Magoo, Mendoza and Manassa will all attest to this I Imagine.


    Yes, but its not quite that simple.


    I made no such claim.


    No such match between Tyson and Witherspoon was ever going to happen.


    Neither of those men had yet breached the ratings in 1986/87, when the title was in the process of being unified, and Witherspoon had lost to Boncrusher. What in the hell are you even talking about?

    Again you lack understanding here.

    1. I never said Tyson ducked Witherspoon

    2. I am not the one who should be presenting evidence of anything since I'm not the one talking out his ass.


    You've never seen Witherspoon fight. That much is certain.

    Agreed.

    I doubt if prime Ali sees 1st rd's end against prime Tyson.
    If he does he probably still gets done well in 1 of its following rds.

    And Ocassio, old Weaver and old Ferguson too.
    Now it seems that I slightly underrated Dokes so far but only slightly.



    Good victories but not very good.

    I am not sure they all used coke. But they were all aligned with Don King who burnt them all out fighting one another while Holmes played it safe. After Witherspoon gave Holmes a major scare, Larry wanted no part of the young guns. Picking up the IBF tiltle was a smart move. He had the name so he was able to still make pretty good money while fighting lesser opponents. He was smart enough to realize the Heavyweight champ. who has been on the throne for 5 plus yrs. didn't need Don King. If Larry had maintained ties to King and been forced to fight the likes of Page, Thomas, Tubbs or Witherspoon in a deserved rematch, chances are he would have lost to one of them. Now, if he beat all of them, his legacy would really be way up there. But because he ducked all these guys I think the hardcore fans, like us, know there should be sort of an asterick next to his name.

    I forget about Ocasio sometimes, the way Michael took him out, fierce.:good People sleep on him somewhat, but during his heyday, was a good fighter.
