    This is why Hasim Rahman rates higher than Mike Tyson.

    How many times would that make?

    I always got the impression that foxy was himself a transplanted carribean to England. I guess I was wrong.

    Get one thing straight. If you make suggestions that my 3 year old grandson ( at that time, now he is 4 ) should have contact with an adults genitals, I will say anything and everything ( including racist comments ) to goad you into confronting me, so that I can dish out retribution. Unfortunately, due to my criminal past I am not allowed to enter North America, ( since 9 - 11 ) hence I needed to provoke that ********** kunt into action rather than words.

    If you or anyone else on ESB doesn't like it, tough sh!t. I FUKING HATE NONCES. Human beings do NOT have thoughts about kids and adults genitalia, APES like that scum DO.

    Also if you want to cry the race card, bear in mind, in one of the scum kunts attempts at being funny he described himself as a " Jamaican drug dealer, trying to spread the love in Toronto "


    Since when were Jamaicans drug dealers per se? Save your heart rending garbage for people as stupid as yourself.

    He also thought there would be a rubber match in the not to distance future as well and thought he could redeem himself but he was wrong.

    Perhaps that would have happened if Leonard hadn't retired. After beating Cuevas and Moore, Duran was a draw again. Defending his belt against Leonard instead of going after first Hagler then Hearns would have made sense. Or even after the Hagler fight, because that elevated Duran's stocks even though it was a loss. Fighting Hearns's leftovers wouldn't have made any sense for Leonard, though.

    But challenging Duran for the WBA belt any time between when he won it against Moore and relinquished it to challenge Hearns would have made a lot of sense for Leonard if he had stayed active. If he won, there could have been a unification bout with Hearns on the cards. And after that either a mega showdown with Hagler or the lesser, but still stiff, challenge of facing Curry either at 147 or 154. After Curry obliterated McCrory, a fight between him and Leonard would have been a huge draw. Probably the biggest fight that could have been made in boxing next to a Leonard-Hagler meet.

    The absolutely dream scenario would have been to first challenge Benitez after he had beaten Duran, then unify in a fight with Duran after he had beaten Moore and finally a rematch with Hearns before challenging Hagler the following year. And as the icing on the cake facing Curry at 154 after he had beaten McCrory.

    Lots of "ifs" in this, but still not an unrealistic scenario had Leonard stayed active and hungry.

    Rahman beat a past prime Tyson. It's about beating TBE fighters at their best.
    If you're 2-0 against TBE's and did things that were legitimately great, you are definitely a great.

    You are probably right Van, but some things are off limits in any society, and kids involved with s"xual acts are one of them. I can stoop low, but thank fuk I have never had a thought as sick as that, much less written it.

    Thanks for the advice though.

    No, you need help from an experienced professional.
