    Until you can come up with anything more concrete, I'll run with that thanks.


    Admit it, you're just gutted you had to take down your Shane Mosley pictures down from behind the toilet door...

    Then Roid Jones cops a pasting and Anthony has spent the past couple of years apparently trying to help the economy of South America... it must be frustrating...

    I'm only having a dig. He was limited but fun to watch. If he had of kept his head on straight he could've been a whole lot better than he was. The Razor Ruddock fight was fun.

    I'm merely alluding to the fact that the best you can do is have a dig at a warrior with no basis for your allegations purely as a result of your heroes having a bad trot. As per the first line in my previous post directed to you...

    If he could of slowed down his partying and banging broads he would of been retired say 4years ago with alot of cash,a few more brutal ko wins and losses..But with a better legacy i feel..

    If the likes of Rahman ,Maskaev and bloody Ruiz could win world titles in the 2000's surely Morrison would of got a few more titles to add to the WBO..

    Always loved his right uppercut follwed by lefthook combo..Use it myself.lol

    I agree 100%. The 1990s is arguably the best decade for the Heavyweight division ever. Personally, I'd lean to the 1970s, but your assessment is correct.

    I think Tommy would've been the victim of more highlight reel KO's and certainly would've delivered more himself. Sadly he couldn't keep himself out of trouble, and losing to Bentt is the worst pay day blowing fight I can remember.

    haha no basis.

    From day dot Holyfield has been suspected of using steriods. Light Heavyweight to Heavy champ of the world without missing a beat :)lol:)

    No basis...
    REPORT: HOLYFIELD USED ALIAS TO BUY STEROIDS

    By BRIAN COSTELLO


    March 2, 2007
    No new names surfaced in the latest steroids investigation to make headlines, but former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield was implicated further.
    Sports Illustrated's Web site reported a patient of a Mobile, Ala., lab by the name of "Evan Fields" raised some suspicion among investigators. The so-called "Fields" shares the same birth date as Holyfield, has a similar address, and when reporters called the phone number associated with those prescriptions, Holyfield answered.
    Holyfield on Wednesday vehemently denied ever using steroids.
    Authorities are investigating a large Internet steroid production and distribution ring. The probe is being led by the Albany County (N.Y.) district attorney's office and is expected to produce up to two dozen arrests. Law enforcement officials raided Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday. Signature sold more than $10 million worth of illegal drugs in New York alone, according to investigators.
    Holyfield has not been tied to Signature but to Applied Pharmacy in Alabama, which also is part of the investigation. According to SI.com, the 44-year-old former champion is believed to be "Evan Fields" by investigators. He allegedly picked up drugs from a private Georgia urologist, whose offices also were raided. Authorities traced the drugs to Applied in Mobile, Ala., which was raided last fall.
    The Web site reports that in June 2004, an individual believed by investigators to be Holyfield picked up three vials of testosterone, two vials of the drug Glukor, and injection supplies. Then, less than a week later, he received five vials of human growth hormone (HGH) and related supplies.
    Asked about his alleged involvement, Holyfield issued a statement through his promoter that said: "I do not use steroids. I have never used steroids."
    Dr. Margaret Goodman, the chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission's medical advisory board, said Holyfield never has failed a steroid test. She did say Holyfield was questioned about possible HGH use in 1994 when he suffered a heart condition. She said whenever a boxer has a heart problem, they are asked about steroid or HGH use. No accepted test exists to detect use of HGH.
    "There was no test and he flat out denied it," Goodman said.
    Major League Baseball plans on investigating the allegations that Angels outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. received performance-enhancing drugs from the Alabama lab.
    "We're looking into it," baseball spokesman Rich Levin said. "I know our people are going to contact the Albany district attorney."
    In Florida, the four defendants in the Signature case (Robert Loomis, Naomi Loomis, Kenneth Loomis and Kirk Calvert) were indicted on multiple counts of enterprise corruption, criminal sale of a controlled substance, criminal diversion of prescription medications, and insurance fraud.
    Yesterday, all four waived extradition to New York, but asked a judge to let them post bail and be fitted with tracking devices so they could turn themselves in. Judge Mike Murphy denied the request, but said he would reconsider if New York authorities did not retrieve them by March 8.

    As per the article I posted, he said he used a drug for hormonal problems, maybe he got it from there. Interesting that nothing more has come of this since 2007. Surely you'd be able to see yourself that the article is pretty open to conjecture.

    The title of the piece is pretty loud. Then it goes on to say Fields has the same birthday as Evander and a similar address... wow. When they called the number Evander answered... how do they know that?

    Margaret Goodman's statement is the only piece of concrete evidence in the whole thing.

    Hopefully I'll be picking up tonight. Though I dont really have a place to bring her to, nor the money to pay for a love hotel.
    However, I have faith in my ability to flip the situation and get them to finance it if they're not gunna bring me back to their place.

    Regarding the issue, I also think it's wrong to deny people entry to this country solely because they're HIV positive.
    If this is the stance we need to take, then where does the line get drawn? Do we round up all HIV infected people and send them to their own little island (Tasmania perhaps, hi Marcus) where they can't infect people who arent carrying the disease?
    I think theres a novel/movie about this. Can't remember the title of it though. But the whole idea of taking this kind of action sounds more like something out of China than Australia.

    Muff at the scruff. :blurp

    It's a dirty old joint there, but is one of the only decent places to go on a weeknight.
    You're always bound to pick up something there if you stay till it closes, but usually a wank and a kebab is a better option than the birds that are available at 5am, etc.

    3 Wise Monkeys is a better option for me. More cleaner, more foreign birds, and the band is better too.
