    The last one I highlighted sounds like a doozy. Right up there with Jason versus a female camp Crystal Lake counselor. :bears:

    Yep....not only one-sided, but bloody, sickening, and thoroughly engrossing. Keiths only chance is to hope there are "demons" at ringside...

    You'd be imprisoned for life for setting that one up.

    My favourite quote on Ricardo Lopez...

    "If you could make a 160lb. version of him, he would beat any man, in any weightclass."

    Al Brown was actually who I meant when i said 'jeff chandler'. Literally no idea what was going on with that brain fart. I think cider somehow cross wired skinny tall Al Brown with skinny tall Wilt Chamberlain, then the surname Chamberlain with Chandler and joined up the circle by way of the bantamweight division.:lol:

    Tyson vs Brown is about as extreme as it gets. Although Brown was probably a good inch and a half taller, so really it's a deeply unfair mismatch.

    Well, a guy can choose his weight but not his height, so this would make sense..

    yet he wouldn't accept a superfight with Carbajal ( who, wasn't exactly a prime Tyson fearwise) because he was 3lbs ( or whatever the difference is between these ''weights'' ) lighter than him.

    I'd like to see this rule implemented by boxing commissions just to laugh at the size mismatches

    I've never met Earnie Shavers, but I seriously doubt he's as short as Bailey, who is a little bit shorter than me.
