An interesting aside involving stereotypes is how we think of smart people and dumb people. Obviously intellectually you, or I, even Queenie on a good day when the Gerital comes in on time...can understand that smart people come in all sizes. Yet we think of small people, Poindexter, as being brainy and large people as being dumb. Its just a reinforced stereotype more than that we "think" this way, but it is constantly reinforced.

Actually bigger people generally are more prone to a greater intellectual capacity. Many very large individuals, per the population size of such individuals, are very intelligent. So it does not suprise with Valuev. A great example of this, was the big "Baldie" in the movie the Wanderers. You will recognize him in an instant below:



This guy, I forget his name (too many concussions oy vay!) But: He had an IQ that was off the charts, he was a world class Opera Singer, chess player... Lol.

Loved that movie!! Didn't know that either.

- -Was U one of the special kids I used to drive to the pool for recreation?

Good kids all and a damned shame to see abusive members of the greater public take advantage of them.

You still haven't answered the question. I'll ask it again. What do you consider a "Whooping"? Shotty score cards? Hardly punching? What? Are you saying you actually had Valuev winning the fight with Holyfield? Just say it!! You've already taken over as the forum clown, so dance for us and tell another joke!

Its crazy...the guy was an accomplished opera singer...and the funny thing about it. as tough looking and neanderthal as he looked in the wanderers (I loved that movie also) Ive seen him look a lot bigger and more menacing! He was in a Richard Pryor flick as a prisoner lol. He kind of blended in with the baldies and truth be told, the Ducky Boys as a group looked a lot less human. Imagine seeing him and Valuev looking menacing... and no one imagining for a moment, that despite the fact they do not look like French Lit professors, both men are brilliant.

Cajun joke of the day "hey Herber who yur favorite boxer?"
Heber says "Ohhh they all my favorites Boudreau."
Boudreau says "now how you gonna say that Herber? dat dey all is yours favorites? that makes no damn sense."
Heber says: "Let me ask you something Boudreau...If any one of them guys asks you if they are your favorite boxer, you gonna say 'naw I like the other fella better!' but if dey ask you which boxer your favorite and tell you they thinking about punching someone in the mouth, I guarantee dey will become your favorite boxer!"

So Queeny: two Texans have to go to Lake Charles Louisiana for the evenin' and are feeling pretty smug being Texans and all... As they are driving a Cajun backwater sheriff pulls them off the road...

Texan number one opens his window, sheriff smacks him with the flashlight good, Texan number one says "Now why you do dat for sheriff?" Sheriff Boudreau says "you was speedin'!" Sheriff Boudreau then taps the second window and smacks the other Texan with the flashlight, second Texan says "Now why you do dat for sheriff, I wasn't speeding!" Sheriff Boudreau says, "I know you Texans... If I dont smack you, about half a mile down the road you say to your friend, "oh Boy if that sheriff had hit me, I woulda never let him get away wit it."

I was never impressed with Nikolai Valuev as a fighter

Neither was I, but I respect most of the guys that enter a ring. And Valuev accomplished some good results in there.
Definitely more than I've achieved in my life.
So if Mr. Valuev argues with me, who was the better man, I have no answer.

Lol, you're such a coward. You make all these claims but refuse to answer direct questions because you know it paints you into a corner. 😆
