100. James Toney ?:p
George Foreman at 64 makes this list to be a bit of a joke.:boxing:
lewis was KO'ed so bad twice that he wasnt able to get up, atleast everytime Wlad got knocked down he got up...
both those losses avenged though :cool:
For those of you who saw the post fight press conference between Toney and Rahman on another popular boxing site, you know what James Toney said. For those of you who didn't see or hear it, here are some of his statements:
"Rahman is a real fighter; we ain't like these Germans and Russians you all trying to build up."
"We Afro-Americans... we ain't scared to fight nobody."
"You keep trying to build up the Great White Hype, it's not gonna happen"
"You all can stop all that"
"There isn't going to be a white heavyweight champ, unless it's in Europe... and that's real"
He mentions the Klitchkos and Valuev. Rahman is heard laughing in the background along with most of the pussy crowd who won't stand up to these despicably racist comments.
tut tut. Never's a long time. ;)
truer words have never been spoken...
well thank you ;) often when i post about the boxing i just get ignored :( they think us girls don't have a clue (i think)
all buster douglas could do that night was beat the Tyson that showed up, which he did. The rest is irrelevant, it wasn't Tysons best performance obviously but douglas got the job done thats about it :boxing:
I always prefered Heavy and Middlewieghts and honestly i don't know why that is :confused:
Lately though i've been enjoying the Start of Amir Khan's career in fact he's probably by favourite current boxer. :)
Well from what I Can see, being a brit, Eubank is either loved or loathed. I like him myself but let me tell you many brits hate a detest him and see him as a joke. :confused:
I'm torn in two by this on the one hand I Don't think older boxers should fight on, on the other I Love it when they do. Foremans comeback proved anything is possible didn't it? :boxing:
