dsimon writes; Roy didn't get hit flush that often in his career and he certainly didn't get into many wars, if any. Ruiz is a weak ass puncher...

dsimon writes: Toney. I love to watch how natural he is in the ring and his skills. I loved the first Peter fight and the Rahman fight.
dsimon writes: I still remember how proud I was after I got a cover story published in Black Belt magazine SD, keep writing! :bears:
dsimon writes: There is a rumor going round that you and Mex are twigs is this true? :lol:
dsimon writes: Yeah you make a good point. I am not saying that it is "bad" or "good" fighting per se but untrained guys do fight in only two...
