    Mike Tyson is Joe Frazier, minus the heart, minus the endurance, minus the toughness and minus the great left hook. I will say his right hand is better than Frazier's though.

    Ah, not actually my team i'm afraid. I remember you said something about being heavily into them before...for me, it's just a shirt, though I've been to the ground for the Old Firm (the week that photo was taken, in fact).

    Ross County, if at all. Club football doesn't really interest me in terms of supporting a team - I fall on the Celtic side of the Old Firm argument, but I wish they'd both **** off to England if you want me to be honest about it...

    I often attend the Scotland games. If I got a team, that's it.

    on a more serious note tho I dont agree with the arguement lewis could beat prime ali, ali was alot faster than than lewis and would beat him to the punch all night long. also ali had a much better chin than lewis, and could see accumulative punches scoring a late knockout or TKO against him

    prime Ali definitely had trouble with swarmers like Frazier, who happens to also be one of the best swarmers, but Frazier edges out Tyson in stamina, so i don't see Tyson going 12 or 15 with prime Ali, I'd see a stoppage or disqualification in the late rounds. Ali did have problems with jabbers, but he'd always counter with his right hand lead and beat them eventually. Prime Ali doesn't lose to anyone, but on an off night like he had with Doug Jones he might of lost to maybe a prime Evander Holyfield who was great all around, Larry Holmes, Vitaly Klitschko, or Lennox Lewis. I felt inclined to put Riddick Bowe, but i think Ali would have a speed and stamina advantage over Bowe.

    dont know if you knew this but its common misconception that the ripped glove debacle stalled the fight for a significant amount of time! if you watch the fight the break is actually around 1 min and 5 seconds instead of the usual 1 min. I think its a case of hear say and exaggeration the break has now gotten to around 3 or 4 mins???:nono

    peace
