    The two trolls involved are just bashing all the old time greats just bait us. They actually don't know shlt about Liston or Frazier.

      Frazier almost drawing was kinda funny -- they weren't sure if they should fish him out or let him try to finish. I remember he was so bad there was actually concern.

        Note that Mark Gastineau won the whole thing one year. Ever see him fight?
        I don't recall if Mark Spitz was ever in it. My use of his name was as an example of what being an allround athlete/fitness fanatic/game player means to being a successful fighter. It is a useful single component, like being tough, brave, strong, explosive, durable, statigic, unflappable, aggressive, committed, scrappy. Lol.
        Wait I was wrong they had to rescue him.

        Frazier nearly drowned, and only after he was retrieved from the pool did he admit to commentators that he didn't know how to swim. When a reporter asked him why he tried the race, Frazier replied, "How was I to know I couldn't unless I tried it?"

        That quote sounds ****** brave.

                Not been posting anywhere for over 10 years. So, how does it work here? Do moderatos try to reign in people who by consensus are known for excessive trolling or no? Not advocating one way or the other. Thought controlling is a strong seasoning. It's easy enough to bypass the garbage.

                  Its pretty lenient here. I would say we adhere to the Brandeise philosophy: Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

We have War room with the immortal quote in my sig: "Frazier was an arm puncher." Know we have a new troll talking about Joe with out of space type shiat...

                    Last week it was how Joe never fought a solid puncher from another member...

                    My question is... what did Joe do to deserve this?! Did he like to piss in people's corn flakes or something? I mean the guy was a wrecking ball. He fought lots of tough fighters that don't get the name recognition of later guys like Ali... Guys like Ellis who was a phenominal fighter who moved very well... One eyed, one armed Joe found him doe. And Foster was lighter but a murderous puncher.

                    Sheesh!
                    Ellis lost to loads of bums and Foster was a LHW with a glass jaw who would try and get HW wins and sent back down to the minor leagues every time he tried lol. He fought Joe weighing 188 (Joe was 209) which was 15lbs bigger than he was in his last fight only 5 months before.

                    You got to be kidding with this Ellis and Foster bit right?

                    If it's not just me talking ill about Frazier and several people, maybe the problem here is you?

                    Lets keep it real. Joe was a really good fighter that never really beat a champ outside of Ali and won his belts off of vacants when vacants weren't really a thing. His hook was his signature punch; this is true, but it was an arm punch that he lunged in with. He got it pretty good, good enough to hurt fighters but just imagine if he didn't arm punch and angled it out more instead of chopping with it.

                    I grew up watching Joe Frazier and we were fans, but the truth is the truth regardless if it hurts or not.

                      Your ignorant of punching mechanics little lady. I am so sorry but thats the bottom line. I don't claim to be in a popularity contest here but I do believe you are the one who should take your own advice about whom is the problem. Your not ****** but you say some very silly and ignorant things... Let me tell you a principle I live by: If I am not going to say it to a Samoan on benzadrine in front of me? I won't say it... Dempsey would look at you the wrong way and your tampon would fall out sugar.
