Yea, I saw him on FNF's. At first I thought it was Charles Barkley. That suit was god awful. I guess Iran didn't do so well with his money. Poor guy. He didn't really sound punchy.

Yeah he was broke the last time I heard. I was hoping he wasn't punchy, but like I said the sound was off. The tie was freaking red and totally clashed with the suit. He has eye problems so maybe he couldn't see it. In his prime he was one intimidating looking guy.

He didn't intimidate old man Roberto Duran.

Great fight.

Nor did he intimidate Nigel Benn. But check out picks of him in the early nineties, like 91 and he looked mean.

Sounded like he still had a brain. Didn't really sound too slurred or anything. I could understand every word unlike Hearns. Sounded like he thought Hearns was crazy for still wanting to fight lol.

nah,he sounded like a religious black guy to me.
bookies and guys that hang at race tracks dressed like that 30 years ago.

And yeah,Iran did sound better than I thought he would.
