I know it sounds crazy, but could he also be wrong about "Too Tall"?
Wash your mouth out with soap. Too Tall couldn't get opponents, did you not know? He was so amazing that literally no one would fight him, despite fearsome boxers like Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston and George Foreman all managing to get opponents. He was so insanely talented and powerful that literally no one would step in the ring with him. No one. Zero.
Ha yes exactly. It's quite strange that a few days after his last ever fight this was in the press and he never fought again.

I didn't know Kalan used to be a nurse.

Is this *another* Wilt Chamberlain post going on and on for multiple pages?
Kalan seems a little prone to exaggeration in many threads.

It looks that way.
Kalan has better stamina than Wilton Chamberlain to keep repeating the same thing, over & over again, page after page, after page.
The same things were said on the 73 page Ali v Chamberlain thread, & now this one is the same thing again.

I think this has been beaten to death, and possibly beyond.
Not that the topic is not interesting to some, I recognize that it is, but it has become more a name calling/argument/debate episode of Monty Python, than any sort of discussion about the topic.
Thanks to those who had their say. Let's move on.
