Silly questions about boxing....

And about the oldest champion I'm not sure but Archie Moore was like 48 as the Light-Heavyweight champion.

That's the oldest one I can think of.

This might be a fitting video for this thread;

Now I don't want to bring out the gay in all of you, but take note of the back of Boza's trunks at the beginning of the video, and then compare that to the slightly discoloured (and wet) trunks that Boza finishes the video with...

Look to the bum!

It was disturbing, waiting to see a wet round spot. Could be sweat i dont' know.

I remember watching Tracy Patterson v. Arturo Gatti II and thinking Gatti **** himself because in the later round you can see his but clearlly had a yellow looking **** stain. Years later, in a differnt tv seen the fight again looked like it was his cup that that was colored yellow, but at the time it looked like he **** himself.

Carlos Ortiz in an interview used to say, just before he was about to go walk up to the ring, he had to go back and a take a piss cause it was very nervous thing for him. You've probably seen it, its from, latin legends.

Delahoya once said, if you got to go, you got to go, thats what the corner is for and spill some water down your trunks and take a piss.

Nobody...that's a myth.

I've always heard it was true, though i have yet to see the round.

hhahahah..I watched it yah, there is some discoloration alright.Must have poo poo due to tons of power body shots he took....But wat impressed me the most about this vid is the way Arguello fought.Man was he a fighter or what!!Makes me wonder now if PAC, who is the current toast of the division could have stood toe toe with ALEXIS...

I just wrote a post out in the history section dealing with this (if you wish an expanded discussion), and included in that post was this contemporary quote describing some of the third round from the day after the fight, and was wriiten by Joe Hennessy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press;

"Graves pounded a left to the stomach that made Pep wince in the third. They mixed wildly. A clicker couldn't count the blows. Pep punches Jack into the ropes as the most even round of the evening ended."

Thanks i'll have to check out that thread.

The other day on hbo, this comedian was talking about how when a fact gets distored with lies, but the lie becomes legend, then they start printing the legend instead of the facts. This situation clearly proves his point.

I think I know who you're talking about. That comiedian who was teaching a history class.

He quoted the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."

When the Legend becomes fact, print the legend."

Thats it. Very good program and a good history lesson.

so that means to say the story was not true?

Yes, that is correct.
