Sam Peter - Eddie Chambers

True, Holmes was underappreciated in his time... maybe Lewis will be embraced more as time goes on... hell with the way the division is now, I wish Lewis was young and still around so he could clean it out

yeah, Bowe was an easy guy to dislike in and out of the ring... and I dont remember meeting a fan of his either. In those days you were pretty much either a Holy fan or a Tyson fan

 

It would have been possible. Wlad was all kinds of screwed up in his head at that point.

 

:laughing:

 

Tony Thompson is underrated and I would pick him over former great John L. Sullivan and....

Oh, crap...I can't even say it with a straight face. ::

 

And Morrison was a significantly better fighter and puncher than Davarryl Williamson

 

I bought that PPV. ::

 

By far.

 

do you think he could take Joe Gans or Mysterious Billy Smith? I mean, he has a big size advantage... thats gotta help::

 

That's ok...I bought that crappy 3 rounders tournament in the 1990's that Tony Tubbs ended up winning. I forget what it was called off the top of my head.

 

Tony Thompson didn't even know what boxing was until he was 33. ::

 

you didnt!!!!!

you poor bastard

I find your patience and mental toughness inspiring::

 

Size isn't an advantage...it's not like boxing has weight divisions or anything like that. ::

 

I just couldn't help myself. If I remember right, the guy who won didn't end up getting his money.

 

They advertised a Tua fight and only ended up showing like 10 seconds of it. ::

 

::

 

But he's BIG!!!!!!!!!

 

that has to be one of the most terrible things I have ever heard of::

 

And SO... patient. ::

 

not unlike a Tiger::

 

Suga' Maurice Harris won. The guy who is famous for his KO loss to Derrick Jefferson.

I'M DERRICK JEFFERSON. ::

 

And Morrison had all kinds of ways to avoid a left jab?

The knockdown was momentary, and Klitschko basically won the remainder of the round.

I think that knockdown gets so overblown.

 

Well it was during a period where Wlad was getting knocked down all the time.

 

::

that was a cedric kushner thing, right?

so terrible

remember Thunderbox?

 

Yep, I remember. I still have all that stuff on tape somewhere.

Yeah, it was Kushner. Such a bad show. The best fighter if I remember right was Tim Witherspoon, and he lost in the first round. ::

 

In the 80s a guy who began fighting about as old as Thomspon actually won a title :kidcool:

 

Cdogg, apparently it was a Thunderbox tournament. ::

I just looked it up. It was "People's Choice One-Night Heavyweight Tournament"

I remember Bert Cooper showing up for his fight one step ahead of an outstanding warrant. ::

 

:::::::bears:

 

Was he big too??

 

:laughing:
