Ken Norton - The Crab

Joe Louis - The Dark Destroyer (Ive never been certain where, "Brown Bomber," comes from)

George Foreman - The Houston Hammer (or maybe The Juggernaut)

Erik Morales - The Aztec Warrior

Roy Jones - The Cock Of The Walk (Rooster one day, featherduster the next)

Larry Holmes - The pudendum :DD (or maybe The Anti-Norton, since Holmes had the most absurdly unimpressive physique of any HW champ)

Reggie "I Pad" Strickland

Quite a few champions who's records have been "padded" by his arrival to the ring.

You just know that dozens of members are itching to throw out a Manny 'Pedo' Paquiao.

:lol:

I swear, I think given the largely mediocre opposition he faced as champ, the biggest challenge of Holmes' career must've been taking his shirt off in front of large crowds (although they werent that large, Holmes being neither personable or entertaining)... chicken-bone arms, not an ab in sight (whether he was in or out of shape), and you can see his ass swell from year to year :lol:

Man G.I. I've met Larry Briefly when he was being "all about himself" at the Hall of Fame...and he WOULD NOT approve of your assessment. No sir, he would be "of another opinion" altogether. And I'm afraid if faced with your evaluation in a direct face to face moment of sharing, his otherwise typical "serene temperament" might become temporarily compromised.

I assume that the horrible bastards would let the ambiguity hang there like a cowardly insinuation worthy of the most vile hater.

You are not too keen on the old Easton Assassin, are you GI?
Some withering comments there, very funny though!

You are right, I do not like him.

I dont begrudge him his bitterness --- stewing and never letting things go is one of my defining features, so I get that. Its the fact he is so overwhelmingly full of sh!t. He has zero objectivity (on himself or others), class, or clue.

G.I. I can't quite recall....Did you imagine that Larry did enough to beat Spinks in their second dance?

IF SO....this may be the only "Fact" that the two of you two could happily mull, over a spot of tea. He would be very happy to engage you over the details of why you are quite brilliant. Just don't change the subject to anything more controversial.

Holmes clearly won the Spinks rematch. He clearly lost the initial fight.

No surprises Larry feels he won both :roll:
