    Folks,

    After age 25 the yrs pass by like hookers on 5th street in New York.... I've been recording fights since 1982... I got boxes of tapes and discs here in 2011.... I go back and pop in old fights all the time to take them trips down Memory Lane.... Yes, the years are now passing by quicker and quicker....

    Again, I taped "Foreman-Ellis" off HBO back in 1991 and referee Richard Steele handled the mismatch...... That was 20 goddamn years ago....

    I remember when he used to be an adviser for the Klitschkos in Germany, he also did some sparring with them. He said that Vitali had, by far, the harder right hand than Vlad..................Tubbs could box well, he did not have power though. He could have some limited success................

    Good luck to him. But man, how many times is this that he is cleand and ober and making a comeback?

    Tony ought to find something else to do that does so endanger his health and bring about the temptations of fame.

    Tony came in better shape for the Bowe fight and outboxed Riddick,showing what he was capable of.

    Let the guy make a little dough.
    So long as he keeps quiet, doesn't get overmatched, he could beat a few dozen clubs fighters, and earn himself around 100K in 2 years. So long as he doesn't step up against guys like Taurus Sykes or Attila Levin he should be fine.:deal

    I'd definitely like to see ESPN pick up a few of these fights. The guy's got some quick hands for a big man, and watching him school some 23y/o factory worker with a 12-33 record would make for a good friday night fight.
