Nice fantasy kid.
Wilt was the BIG-8 Champion in the 440... (now the 400)... It was his favorite race numb-nuts.
and he was also a better impressionist than Rory Bremner - in fact he once challenged Bremner to an impressions contest...Bremner didn't show up! (although a few tory politicians did...at 5 minute intervals)....think about it

Why is everything about wilt? Don't you find yourself, disturbing? This is a boxing forum. Who cares what he did on the track, on the court.

He did nothing in the ring.
It's not about Wilt Chamberlain, it's about Boxing... and Chambelain challenged Ali to a boxing match for the Heavyweight Championship, and Ali milked it for a lot of publicity until Chamberlain and Ali met for a contract signing and Ali refused to sign. So to the degree that boxers can keep World Titles and not defend them against guys who would surely beat them -- that insanity is unique to Boxing.

Pull your tongue out of Wilt's arsehole. Christ your man crush is out of control.

Ali refusing to sign the contract... Or say how long it's going to be before he actually DOES sign the contact... Wilt was getting tired of the Dog & Pony show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF57P1uUG0s
