    I thought Griffith was one of those who lived ina glass closet. You knew he was gay, but he never admitted it, and was a flamer, bigtime.

    That there was.

    Posting them in general would get you banned, even though it was just two shirtless guys. :patsch

    I wonder how Hopkins antics would go over with a guy like Monzon? Or two old school fighters like Robinson or Burley?

    Yes, it made me cringe too dpw. I'd stiff arm as he walk up to me had I been Joe. No man should be allowed that close unless both are homosexuals or wrestlers. There's nothing worse than a man breathing on your upper lip.

    What about the late Scott Walker a.k.a. "The Pink Cat" from Arizona?? He beat Arguello in '95 and was KO'd by Chavez in 1996.... Sometime later, Walker offed himself from depression.....:rofl
