    I remember this guy. I remember this guy from a couple of years back...a Foreman obsessive who hated Rocky Marciano...as I remember it, any white fighter was a problem.

    He posted under a different name then, but there can't be two people in the world this ridiculous.

    Yeah. They should have their own forum!


    No - homicide hank, for all he was ridiculous, he had a sharp intelligence. And even on boxing, when he wasn't talking about the HW division, he was still okay, interesting views on Robinsn for example. But this guy is just race, race, race.

    Well I suppose that his performance against Lyle might point to that, but I can't say for sure one way or the other... I do however think that his displays at taking big shots in his 40's does count for something though. Say what you will about Michael Moorer in that he was a light heavy weight and that his power may have been overrated, but the fact is, George was 45 years old and took Moorer's best shots repeatedly for 10 rounds, yet still had enough composure to pull off the win... I don't even know if a prime Liston could take that many solid shots over 10 rounds and still survive to walk away with a title.. Of course, he'd kick the **** out of Michael Moorer, but that's not what I'm talking about... I'm referring to his ability to receive a sustained beating from an above average hitter over a long haul...

    I think Stanley Ketchel beats George Foreman, never mind Rocky. And also, Jack Dempsey and Wladimir Klitschko.

    You seem to be the person most obsessed with race here.

    You basicaly hate Rocky Marciano because he was white.

    Are you really any better than the people who could not accept that Jack Johnson was the heavyweight champion because he was black?

    Why do people have to use boxing as a medium to air their personal issues?

    As I remember it, he claims to look like "an albino Mike Tyson".

    Yes! But don't forget the big one....REVOLVER. It has to be him. Chris Warren was not the first of the long list of names Revolver has produced since 2005.

    They're not the same man bro. I think you were right about Mr.Marvel being Hank being Revolver (who i never spoke to) but I disagree that this guy is the same guy. Warren/Norton is a different kind of crazy.
