:lol:

And you are in your 70's correct? So you'd have been fighting in the 60's and 70's presumably? Around your military service of course. So we're talking 6'1 185-ish?

You're also apparently too timid to even make up an actual height and weight.

That would be easy... If I wanted to exaggerate as much as you do I could go with 9 miles tall X 250,000,000,000,000,000,000 Tons.

Care to quote ONE exaggeration of mine? :OhYes:

I'd guess your 5'6-ish tops, hence your infatuation with tall people. I can't tell if your fat and sloppy which is why you lash out at fighters like Joe Frazier for being "fat" or if your super scrawny which is why you feel the need to brag about fictional lifts/careers and exercise prowess. Either way, it's kind of sad.

No... People always remark about my height because I am fairly tall... And I'm not scrawny... And I can swim much faster than Frazier... and 20 years ago I could lift twice as much weight as Joe Frazier failed to lift in the Super Stars competition.

And then you became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, oh wait no you didn't, that was Joe Frazier. Oh well, you'll always have your height and swimming.

Kalan - Post your BoxRec record here in your next post or I'm sorry, but I'll have to call you on your shenanigans. Enough is enough. Really.

Be patient, Kalan is searching BoxRec for a 7" 250lbs guy who fought in the 60's that he can impersonate but these things take time.

He's also gotta be ex-military, posses world class level strength despite not lifting much, and be announced as the hardest puncher in the world (but he's so humble he got embarrassed by it) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yet not so humble he didn't mention it. It would be interesting to know which ranked fighter he knocked out in sparring? I'm guessing it was Chuvalo.

Bob Fitzsimmons in his prime had possibly the best gams in the biz and were once discribed to have been "like 'steel"
seen here in 1909 at age 46 years.

Barney Ross's legs went out in the fifth round of his last professional fight in 1938 ( age 29 yrs).

Truly the most ridiculous poster I’ve seen on here. Just crazy to look back on this.

I think legs going is a myth. I remember when Bert Sugar wouldn't shut up about Hopkins' "old legs" coming to the De La Hoya fight. A young very well conditioned fighter can get hit with a headshot early in a fight and suddenly look like his legs are gone. It's one of those axioms commentators like to fixate on.
