Happy Birthday Iron Mike

I've read it 8 times and can't figure out what I was trying to say... First big fight I paid for maybe :dunno:

 

Even that doesn't make any sense... I remember ponying up cash for the Holy/Tyson I fight

 

Me either... It doesn't even seem like something I'd say

 

Ouch. I can imagine a lot of people not really wanting to watch boxing anymore if that was the first live fight they witnessed.

 

It looks like you're quoting Hut.

 

Aaaah that makes sense ... Anthony just got confused

 

Yeah just look at the post above yours. The way it's formatted you just don't see what is quoted text.

 

Why does it look like that?

 

I don't know much about message board software but I assume when things are archived the formatting (and other things) gets removed.

 

It probably has to do with what happens when it's archived. Certain things might be removed for space purposes. Even if it's not removed, newer forum software might not be able to import the older format it was stored in without some losses as well.

 

Sounds ok to me.

The catholic church can't be blameless though.

 

i was already a big time boxing fan when tyson came around but loved watching his fights.
i'm a big fan

 

As per probably many of you, Tyson was the reason I was a casual boxing fan as a kid.

Duran turned me into a hardcore boxing fan as a teenager.

 

Tyson vs Bruno was the talk of my primary school for what seemed like an eternity back in the day.

Apart from McGuigan vs Pedroza, it was probably the 2nd time a boxing match had permeated everyday life.

 

I became a casual fan with Maske and Schulz. Yeah the boxing fan in me was very strong... ::

Then I watched Roy Jones...

 

Whenever Frank Bruno fought for the title, it was a polarizing affair in Britain: Whites wanted Bruno to win and blacks wanted his opponent to win.

Why So???...

Was Bruno Considered a "Sellout" by his Fellow Bleck Brits???...




REED:dunno:

 

HELL YEAH! Complete total and utter "sellout". He was essentially a guy that prided himself on being the big dumb black guy that made everyone laugh....he even did pantomime one time dressed up as a princess. He was an embarrassment to all blacks.

 

Didn't Know That...

Being Down with Nigel Benn didnt' Help Bruno's Cool Quotient Any???

Nah, Bruno's rep had already been destroyed by the time he buddied up with Nigel Benn, besides Benn was a blithering idiot himself

 

It was Mike Tyson's birthday on June 30th. He turned 49 years old.
