17-0 cruiserweight, Ricardo "Popeye" Rivera



Might be easier finding heavyweights that resemble Brutus

- -Worse than Lame.

Foreman of a carpenter crew building schools for a new Texas community I was on was in no particular order, a union carpenter in nonUnion Texas, a pack a day original unfiltered Camels, a professional rodeo bulldogger on the weekends, a bouncer in a Cowboy honkytonk after bulldogging, happily married to his HS sweetheart, beer iced with steak rare, and forearms and a mug to shame Popeye and fists the size of ******ia Hams that he used to knock timbers in place, 50 years old and not a spare grey hair in his close cropped black mane he kept combed down with Brylcreem, in short a local legend.

The boys all called him Popeye that he'd have decked post haste had he heard that to his face, boxer or not, and they don't get up neither. That's what friends is for if the mangy lot don't want anymore trouble.

Yessir, boys, you don't spit into the wind, tug on Supermans cape, and don't you dare go messin' with Big Lee.

Now I could go on, but I gather U get my drift.

Na, I think that was a pretty good character to hear about, thanks for sharing.
