    I remember watching the pre-fight build-up of Tyson-Spinks and one of the boxing journalists being interviewed stated that Spinks wasn't even a big puncher at LHW, citing his performance against Willie "The Bull" Taylor as "evidence"

    You thought you had shown me up but you failed to read the rest of the thread. It's cool. It was a decent effort...you must have gone through many pages to find that. You'll notice that the post right before I said I was kidding was actually supporting my card saying it wasn't impossible. I was never going to be swayed by popular opinion...I already knew what the consensus was. Hence me throwing that in...as a grenade, so to speak. ;)
