    :lol: Good stuff Arriba. The auto was great. Not as good as Becoming Holyfield but still pretty good. Bigcat was telling me that a bunch of it was lies to make him seem tougher than he actually is though. I can see that. Speaking of the auto...there was a part in there where Hide mentions that he saw Tye Fields beating Samuel Peter from post to post in sparring.

    Lennox Lewis retired because Tye Fields looked at him, saw his title belts and said "I want those pal."

    I imagine Herbie Hide would tell a fib or two or twenty for the sake of entertaining. That said it is an autobiography which means that it's their account of their life no matter how ridiculously wrong it may be :lol:

    How'd you win it btw?

    :lol: true enough. I am so freakin obsessed with boxing, that my daily routine/borderline OCD habit is to get up in the morning and first thing, look up boxer's on google news to see what the latest is. There was an article done in a small british paper that was promoting the book and they had like 5 free copies to give away for answering their question right. The question was what county did Herbie Hide grow up in. I answered right by googling it, lol, and won. Cool too because I never win anything.

    Agreed. Prime Foreman also ducked him, hence 'Big George' not investing in a time machine in order to travel to the mid 2000s to face the Montanan behemoth.

    I've heard that if you put your head in the George Foreman grill and turn it off and on about 8 times you can travel back in time.

    Little known fact but The South won the Civil War. Foreman used the grill however to go back in time and take on General Robert E Lee for the South's version of the Heavyweight Title. Foreman used his pure power and ability to dazzle the wily old General before KOing him in the 8th. Problem is Foreman was just the ORDINARY South Champion and thus we had a rematch set up between Foreman and Super Heavyweight Champion and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth. That said Foreman decided that he had proven all that he needed to and vacated the title, satisfied with ending the Civil War. A furious and enranged Booth decided to take matters out on Foreman's former promoter and boxing lynchpin Abraham Lincoln. He figured that would add more fuel to a potential showdown clash that would have sold out the Panama Canal. It kinda backfired on Booth....

    and there ya go, American History courtesy of PCP.
