    I know right.
    Its funny how these pro life ****s dont give a **** about the child once its born.
    Thats because, as it has always been, its not about saving the child, its about punishing the mother.
    They see a single mother getting pregnant and believe she has sinned, so she should be punished by being saddled with a child she cannot afford and/or doesnt want.

    I know you are likely being funny.
    But I would find it hard to forgive a guy who, during a sporting event, found it acceptable to rip half my ear off with his teeth because he was losing.
    I am just petty that way :p

    I didn't say he was well known, just apparently a great fighter to watch

    That clip showed his great use of the ropes, timing his punches perfectly.

    He was good box office because of knock-out record.

    Towards the end of that clip Norton looks to be unconscious on his feet and the ref waves him on <laugh> He could've killed the poor bloke!

    They're not pro-life. Most of them love the ****ing death penalty, for a start.
    They're pro-birth and anti-choice.

    Yeah just watched another clip of him when he fought Ali. Based on that knockout highlights Ali's chin must be made of granite as Shavers caught him a lot in their fight and he didn't seem too bothered.

    Sorry Joe but when Ali came back he found in Frazier a brutal opponent who boxed on the front foot and never stopped going forward. The two guys hated each other so I find your comment way off the mark.

    Frazier and Foreman possibles only.

    As for Holyfield, in his mid 80’s heyday Tyson would have knocked him out.

    There's levels of great fighters ...

    The untouchables like Ali , Liston , Frazier etc

    Great fighters like Tyson

    Great boxers like Lewis

    Tyson is one of the Best but you can't say he in the same level as the untouchables
