    Arnie Ray Cream / Griffin / Toney , with spurts of Tim Littles/Ali / Holmes :oops:
    Not enough athletic to fight like Byrd not enough quick to fight like Jones , not enough strong to fight like others like Louis , Foreman , Jackson , Tua , not enough suicidal to fight like many others and I would like to try to hurt my opponents. My chin was tested and proven , but still I wouldn't/don't want to exploit it .

    But if real fighting is on stake , not just boxing , then I will be / am a better suited Cream/Griffin/Toney. I am able to block low kicks and would have never been chocked out as quick as Toney was. These facts were proven even more than my chin.

    Well in the circumstance that Holyfield was in I probably would have dealt with it the same way. I would have felt like I had my opponent even more so I would want to knock him out. I dont think Tyson biting Holy did anything but boost Holyfields confidence, because he knew he did it out of frustration.

    6"0 180lbs. I'm built exactly like Jack Dempsey. Long limbs, big arms, skinny chest, square head.

    Id emulate Erik Morales, i like his angles and the way he moves

    A taller Muhammad Ali. Would ****ing love it. Unfortunately, I'm white, so I have no rhythm and even less speed.

    I would have loved to have boxed like joey giardelo but in actual fact I boxed like joe bugner. On the night I was always too cautious by nature. knew what to do put could never pull the trigger like i wanted. I had long range skills but short sighted eyes with the defensive knack of being able to survive. when i watch my tapes I think - its joe bloody bugner!

    the only spurts you have in you are Chris Byrd's cum spurts
