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?

To be fair..when he let King get a hold of him.....he fell fast and hard.

Oh yes..I think he was the perfect boxing machine in his early days.

Yes. It would have been something to see what he would have done if he stayed with Rooney and away from King.

Really was too bad,but that's the way she goes.


I buzzed by his house a few times when he lived out here. It was really strange to see his name on the iron gates.......to know the baddest man in the world lived right there in the middle of farm country.

ror!

Indeed he did. But I think he did a better job of remembering those who came before him than most.
