Is Ken Norton stylistically the worst matchup for either Klitschko?

    Funny that, I'm reading a book about the Somme right now. Douglas Haig was a class-A idiot.

      Lions led by donkeys was the quote I believe. Ever seen Blackadder goes forth? If not catch it, it's brilliant

        I'll keep an eye open for it. Have you caught Nat Geo's Digging Up The Trenches? It's a documentary on archeological digs on the Somme front......seriously good stuff.

          Another good book is "The Myth Of The Great War" by John Mosier.....A really fascinating read.

                  Love Clegg's vid post.....very Monty Pythonesque :grin9: so I'll have to check my sources and find it. It will be out there SOMEWHERE :chuckle9:

                  I'm a military history nut in general but World War One is my specialty. Yes, it can be depressing especially when you consider it's essentially Western Civilization committing suicide. Still, it's the single most important event of the 20th century and everything that has come since then flowed from it.
