Well put, GiovaniMarcon.

I left out the first Brewster fight because it didn't pertain to Historian's question. But, as Maple Leaf says, Vlad was obliterating Brewster before his strange collapse. The stigma from that fight was strike two in Vlad's career, and the Peter fight was set up to be strike three. Vlad...

Yes, you may question, Historian. For I am here to teach. Well, Vlad got up from three knockdowns (from rabbit punch like shots) to win against Samual Peter, having Peter out on his feet at the end of the fight. He also got up from a knockdown to win against DaVaryl Williamson by...

Good points Jack Lambert. The Raiders are just an overall mess and Al Davis has lost it. He's the Phil Specter of owners right now. A complete has been (although I don't think he plays with guns). Oakland is maybe the last place Matt Jones needs to be.

This match-up wasn't good enough for HBO. Then ESPN disses it by using some intern and a nobody fighter to cover it. I'm beginning to think there is no love lost between Eastern Europeans and certain media types.

Any one of dozens of right hands that Vlad landed on Chagaev would have knocked Haye cold. And Haye knows it.

Teddy Witless couldn't work this one. He sprained his mouth trying to say Ruslan Chagaev. At least that's the excuse David Haye suggested to him.

What a soap opera. First the change of opponents. Then some group called The Association of Professional Ringside Physicians wants the fight postponed because Chagaev carries the Hepatitis B virus. Now the WBA says the fight isn't for the unification after all. If I were a conspiracy...

No, I don't think so. He wouldn't fit in. He's a running back.

All right. Here are my groaners. Wall of Wonderlic. Vanilla Gorilla Gang.

Excellent.

I don't think anything with "snowmen" would work, with the Frosty stigma and all. Too ripe for jokes about his slow forty and poor vertical.

That's just my perspective. Like I said, the field just wasn't for me. I didn't mean to say that all journalism types were jerks. I met some good people too. It's just that wasting a year leaves a bad taste, but that's on me in the end. The question was do the MSM believe everything they...

Good points Jimmy C. Reading your story reminded me of a time long ago and a place far away when I was a journalism major for a year. I learned a few things while I was there, mainly that I didn't want to be a journalist. Just didn't have the personality (or the social skills at the time) for...

I watched the fight at the Salt Palace. Some really nervous looking guy to my left kept rubbing his palms on his legs during the whole fight and kinda distracted me after a while. Poor fella, he really wanted Gerry to win. I did too, but I was ready for him to lose. There were times when Gerry...

I used to like them when I was a kid, but I'm a full fledged Cowboy hater now, thanks to Jerry Jones. So he's drunk (again) and it comes out that he's having boozy dreams about bringing that feral pack man back? Who wants a guy like that for a boss? Matt Jones needs to cross them off his list...

I don't see any false flag here. I see a very elderly man with extreme personality traits who spent too much time on his computer to the point of murderous obsession, and he finally went off the deep end. Now he's given the left wing thought police a sort of mini 9-11 they can use to "take...

How did the blond hair and blue eyes migrate to three valleys in the Pakistan mountains? The wanderlust that seems to be inherent in us is part of the answer. We get around.

I'm thinking about dropping HBO.

That's what happened.

I think Holmes had a legitimate complaint. He was an excellent boxer and a very good champion, a family man who stayed out of trouble. That formula just didn't do it for the post 60's Ali worshipping media, so Larry didn't get fawned over the way Ali did. Holmes was just a blue collar no...

If after the Chagaev fight a match with Haye comes up again the Klitchko camp need to tell him to get well then fight a serious heavy (Barret was no longer even in the top 100 when Haye fought him IMO). That way they can know for sure that Haye is well and actually a legit contender and not just...

I always check the the date they joined. It might be interesting to add the date they get banned.

I agree. At Cruiser Adamek and Haye can both punch, but Adamek has the chin and Haye doesn't.

Well, now the injury seems to have migrated from Haye's hand to his back. I don't know how that happens. Sounds better, though, I suppose. And a better chance for some workman's comp, too, if Haye can find a cooperative doctor.
