Harry Wills was ducked as was Sam Langford, but those were in the 20's or so and it is too bad so many fine Black athletes paved the way for others to get there when they could not.




Ever see the old fight films digitally enhanced?


Those are like SSSSO awesome.

Eaux, I have seen some!

I heard there is a video in which Tyson comments on old fights from Sandler, Dempsey, Louis, etc. I have always wanted to see that but haven't found it.

I didn't know that ,but it sounds great. He was a big fan of the old time guys which is why he had his hair cut the way he did and wore no socks.

"I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah."

But he did go over the top a bit on occasion.








Or did Thebby speak that quote?
