    Greg ,you say your condition is terminal,I sincerely hope that proves not to be the case ,or that you at least get an extended period of life that is of quality.
    Don't you think you could put your remaining time,however long it proves to be, to better use than spending it slagging off some one on a boxing forum, it seems rather a waste to me.:think

    That is true.

    But,

    How do you get a Clear decision win, when the fight is scheduled for No Decision. That is impossible isnt it?


    If in 100 years time, the fighter who wins the last round is considered the winner of the fight, do we consider today's fighter who wins 11 rounds but slackens off in the last as the loser? Or if they decide that a fighter who has the most knockdowns wins, do we consider that dominant points win as only a draw because their was no knockdowns?

    Surely a KO must mean more in a no decision fight than a good performance where the fighter one more rounds but neither fighter got the decision.

    I was referring to those fights in which a decision was rendered.

    Barbados Joe Walcott is the biography that I want the most.

    I am really hoping that some talented researcher will undertake the task of writing a really good biography of him.
