    :lol:

    Of course I do! Why do you think I am disputing that? What I am disputing is your arbitrary deduction of inches from a fighter's height. Is this going in at all?

    :lol:

    He looks SHORTER you ****ing mong, but yeah, of course he is bending his knees :lol: Jesus.

    :rofl

    I KNOW that Holyfield is taller than Toney you tit!! I don't need to see your secret picture to know that!



    :lol:

    That's in total contradiction to your previous claim that Boxrec, every conteporary source that was presented to you and every poster on the forum that told you otherwise was "lying" :lol:



    :lol:

    No, the secret picture reference in my head you cantaloupe.

    I am not making fun of your grasp of the language ,but rather, your grasp of logic ,and debate ,which appears to be non -existant.

    It is a good sign for me that you think so.

    Why? McVey is widely liked and respected on the forum. It's you who is seen as the village idiot.

    Well done? Well done for showing that broadcasters sometimes get fighter's heights wrong? We did that pages ago you idiot.

    McVey thinks Louis would have stopped Tyson , Tua and Vitali Klischko.
    Maybe he got sober from one of these fantasies.
    And I never meant he is worse than you in this aspect.

    You think that:

    David Tua is one of the greatest fighters in history.

    But this time he just hit exactly some fights that I have seen and have and even reminded the Lewis-Bowe fight as a result of this fascinating argue.
    And your resources get them just as wrong and sometimes even worse.
    But a true moron will always treat a scan of an old worn newspaper page with more respect than boxinggurus.com .
    I at least know when to take the resources in a limited guarantee , and when to completely dismiss/ignore them .

    On a H2H basis ? he is in for a big problem whenever he faces someone above 6'3".
    On a P4P basis ? maybe not a top10 , even if I did put him in , I said my list changes every time , but it is a different story.
    On a H2H restricted to fighters below 6'3" ? he is one of the worst nightmares a fighter can imagine , along with Tyson.

    You've quoted one source, once and now you are somehow an expert? If Tua is 5'9 and your source is right, that's fine. If every other source is right (including SI, Boxrec and The Telegraph, somehow inferior to BoingGuru's in your head), that is fine. If he is 5'9 and one half ich they are both wrong, and that is fine.

    But none of it explains your bizarre practice of making up fighter's heights to suit you entirely without a source; that is still as baffling as it was when you first started doingit. Almost all of what you say is no more valid than something a child would make up.

    So, you have David Tua on your all time top ten pound for pound lis based upon the idea that he is a head to head nightmare for anyone below 6'3?

    :lol:

    Have you told Chris Byrd this you ****ing plum?
