Thief in the night business. How classy.
When you actually write a classy post rather than acting like a child, I am sure they will do you the courtesy of telling you before they delete your post. Of course if you are acting like an adult then they won't need to delete your posts now will they? Are you sure you are 26 years old? Maybe you should start in the kiddy section and work your way up to adult message board conversation where you can disagree and discuss without resorting to names that get tossed around on elementary school playgrounds. This will likely never happen, but maybe as you work your way to your 20,000 post you can moderate your ratio of childish posts from 50% down to 30%. You would be doing everyone a favor. ;;-)
Was that your handiwork? Crying to Big Brother? LOL.
Ike Ibeabuchi is a fvcking phoney.

Who are you Internet-threatening to beat up this week, Collie?

If you are going to act like a child can you at least work on your material and be a funny child rather than a bitter mentally-challenged child? If your jokes only entertain yourself then you probably aren't funny.
Really...you are 26 years old? Really? Tell me it was a typo and you are really 16, so at least your immaturity would make some sense.

Nice job on the alliteration. It reminded me of Ralph on
The Simpsons.
"I heard your dad went into the restaurant & ate everything in the restaurant & they had to close the restaurant."
Provided some unintentional humour --- probably your best brand.

You do not like Ike ?
I do not think I would like him as a person. But in the ring he had
some very real skills and attributes that would make him a danger
to a lot of men. He is one of those fools that robbed himself through
his idiocy and impulse to commit a crime, no one but him to blame
for the harm he did to his victim and boxing.
Though, he was in my opinion a very real talent and hard some
serious skills.

John L drank constantly and nearly drank himself to death several times prior to his loss to Corbett.

Lotta fighters hit the sauce hard during their careers.
Lew Jenkins of course was mentioned. Thats a good shout.
Mike Ayala comes to mind.
Supposedly had a smack problem during his career.
I thought I read somewhere he was higher than hell when he fought Lil Red in 1979s fight of the year.

Aurelio Herrera showed up drunk for his fight with Terry McGovern.
Young Griffo drank liquor in his corner between rounds.
I know Ike Williams (and other fighters also) would take a sip of brandy after a workout, claiming it "fired up the blood."

There is another area here not touched on:
girls.
Some fighter's careers were hurt by this area.
Dempsey cashed in in this area after winning the title and was never the same fighter again.
Females went crazy over Harold Johnson's build and that affected his career.

For the Cooney "fight" Young didn't train a single day, and his own trainers gave him his drugs earlier on the day of the "fight."
Francis, why do you insist Cooney vs Young was a fixed fight?
Are you seriously saying the Young agreed to stand around and have his face cut up to a horrendous degree by Cooney?
Do you have any actual proof of this drugs story?

Duran should be on this list. Achieved a lot. Blew soem fights by simply being fat and not training. In fact he never looked tight after about 1980.

If only granberry had offered up Jimmy some O.J. in time to do some good. History could have been changed.

For rapid deterioration of boxing skills, watch Lloyd Honeyghan vs Donald Curry followed by Lloyd Honeyghan vs Mark Breland. The Ragamuffin Man goes from being an excellent boxer-puncher with fast accurate hands and slick defense, to a stiff who look's clueless in the ring.

I wish Granberry was still around here.
He provided some good insight and didn't have any problem naming the real frauds in boxing.
