Re: Shaq sparring with Oliver McCall

I am not taking Roach seriously. He is hyping Shaq. But...while it's just sparring Shaq looked better than I thought he would.

Re: Heavyweight Boxing’s Ten Greatest Ever Chins

You can't have a top ten chin list without Oliver McCall, and having seen quite a few Marion Wilson fights I am not sure he belongs. I know he was an amazing survivor, but he hugged a lot and wasn't taking clean shots like a Chuvalo. Check out his second fight with Golota to see what I mean. Horribl...

The Cannon beat George Foreman , while Cobb was stopped by Dee Collier. Briggs by brutal KO in the first round. Do you seriously believe this?

Marciano. George couldn't hurt Alex Stewart or Tommy Morrison, and remember that the guy that Thunder KO'd in seconds went 12 with him, as did big Lou Savarese.

Re: Rocky Marciano (1951) vs. George Foreman (1991)...

Rocky obviously wouldn't be running at all. So what does the Morrison fight have to do with anything? He also fought Savarese in 97, Grimsley in 96 & even Morrison was 93. Don't you think that matters? It's pretty evident that the ts is pointing to the Foreman that fought Holyfield. Not the one...

Surely this Skelp is having a little laugh at our expense.

Holyfield can't afford to retire and no way he does anytime soon. He wins this fight by UD. And within a few years he will start having trouble remembering his own name.

Re: Hitman Hearns in foreclosure.

This happens a lot to boxers but it happens a lot in football and basketball too. One reason seems to be that these guys spend whatever they earn without giving a thought to the obvious fact that their earning power will diminish as soon as their skills diminish.
