In the history of boxing....

you gotta have more indians than chiefs ...absolutely. Too many cooks spoil the stew. Can we fit any more cliche's into this thread. :rolleyes:

my dad used to say... Well, I guess there's a lot of "us" out there. There will always be more contenders than champions. 'course, you're "champ" to me, bro. ;) you gotta have more indians than chiefs

back at ya'... Well, I guess there's a lot of "us" out there. There will always be more contenders than champions. 'course, you're "champ" to me, bro. ;) my friend.....

You totally took my guy...I swear..that is too strange...another one for me is...George Foreman...he was a true professional in the ring, power in both hands, had a great chin, had a ring presence like no other, never had any excuses, came from the most meager conditions, didnt let anyone stop him from his dreams, was better with age and is a sweetheart of a guy outside the ring... thats me! LOL Well, I guess there's a lot of "us" out there. There will always be more contenders than champions. 'course, you're "champ" to me, bro. ;)

man o man... A cross between James Toney and Ricky Hatton. what a body puncher that would be..if you crossed those 2 together...great idea for a new thread.

Wasnt sure if this was Ive always had a crouching/weaving fighting style like Tyson or Frazier but outside the ring I dont know who I act like. How much do we know about most of these guys outside the ring? We only know about a few because there mouths are so big, like Toney, Floyd, Tarver, X, and so on to hypothetical or if it would be a big hit...maybe I should have asked, if you could be any fighter in the history of the world, who would you be? But thats not quite the same.

Kdogg Okay, for me....and this is not really dealing with the man's actual "personality" because I'm not familiar enough with him outside the ring....it would have to be Jerry Quarry. Quarry had all the skill, heart, stuburness, and talent you could want in a fighter; but due to attitude, personality, character flaws, demons out of the ring that he couldn't separate himself from, and bad luck, he never achieved the ultimate goal. That's me....classic underachiever. ;) You totally took my guy...I swear..that is too strange...another one for me is...George Foreman...he was a true professional in the ring, power in both hands, had a great chin, had a ring presence like no other, never had any excuses, came from the most meager conditions, didnt let anyone stop him from his dreams, was better with age and is a sweetheart of a guy outside the ring... thats me!

james toney outside fighting and inside fighting

Which fighter do you feel the closest connection with because of that fighters personality traits, boxing style, actions outside the ring, that most remind you of.............you? Ooo. Damn. Well, Ali is my favorite; but I honestly can't say that we are similar in any way. Let me think on this some. :thinking:
