    Probably not. I got away with writing his name and putting the 'I' in bold to bypass the filter, I didn't get a punishment.

    You don't get banned for swearing, you get banned for skipping over the filter. You'll probably be fine, just don't EVER Duke it out with the professor. That'll be the end of you.

    But he fought at the weight and won a title there. Naturally 180lbs of ripped functional muscle.

    Not sure where to go with this argument because you're not exactly addressing my point.

    If we are talking about physical strength that doesn't necessarily mean punching power but strength Vito Antuofermo was strong - Jake LaMotta- Rocky Graziano- Tony Zale- Hagler- Tiger- Gene Fulmer- Mikey Walker

    I got banned for it around when I first joined, for a similar time frame if I'm not mistaken.

    My most shameful ban, was not having Fitzsimmons top 100...

    No one mentions juan roldan or herol graham in the mix?

    My top 7
    Hagler
    Graham
    Roldan
    Sibson
    Briscoe
    Steve collins
    Barkley

    80"s herol graham threw mccallum and julian jackson around like rag dolls...

    Roldan was a bull

    Vito was strong but minter mullered him like an errant child over 2 fights showing his physical dominance on a very tough faced antuofermo

    Yeah, Langford had to be a monster as a middleweight in terms of strength. You can see what he did to heavyweights on film.
