    :rofl

    Floored me.

    Anyway, I'm guessint, Dempsey, that what Sweet Pea has tried to articulate here is his astonishment at Monzn's ranking.

    Care to comment?

    Apparently, he's Jersey Joe Walcott's uncle.

    Listing I found for a Jeff Clark had him fighting above middleweight for the few times his weight was listed.

    Pay ATTENTION in CLASS.

    And sort your avatar out. That girl nearly has her panties off. I will report you to the mods unless she takes them all the way down.
