    Then why quote it? Just ignore it ffs the thread about this tragic loss in the lounge has already turned into a racial debate doesn't need to turn into anything more here.


    RIP.

    The man has lived in South Africa his entire life and was born and raised there, why would he want to leave his homeland? I am aware of the racial tensions over there, but perhaps the real issue here is those lowlife savages who decided to walk into a restaurant and fire randomly at people don`t you think?

    Imbecile.

    This is terrible news. Sanders was a good contender and a fine gentleman.

    The recent success of Wladamir Klitschko only serves to strengthen the significance of Sanders greatest win.

    Those were my thoughts this morning.

    Also very good victory over a still dangerous Bert Cooper, finished the extremely sturdy Al Coles and convinced Czyz that retirement was not a bad idea.

    I miss aggressive power punching heavies... even if they had beer bellies.

    Especially when they had beer bellies.

    South Africa is an overwhelmingly dangerous country ... a very few select pockets are semi-safe but as a whole terrible ... but to Sanders it was his home ...

    what a sad way to go ...

    Tragic. One of the most explosive boxers I've ever seen. He was like a heavyweight Nigel Benn: whatever happened, you knew it was going to be action-packed and almost certainly someone was going to go! It was still very rare when Sanders started out for someone so big and powerful to also be very fast. Win or lose, I never felt short-changed after watching a Sanders fight. All that, and by all accounts a great bloke and a very fine golfer. The world is poorer without him.

    Let's remember his finest hour, or rather, six minutes!

    A family celebrating a 21st birhtday, and some pieces of **** come in firing guns, I really hope they get what coming to them in a really bad way. They always do you know, one way or another they will pay. Corrie made the most of his abilities in the ring, not real familiar with him, but seemed like a good guy that became heavyweight champion, that's pretty damned good. Best wishes to him and his family.
