    Everyone should punch Paul Kevin in the face.

    I would piss myself if you ever met PK and he kicked the shit out of you!
    Why don't we arrange a white collar event, you and him, 3 rounds Queensbury rules?
    You do know PK is 6 foot 4" and touted as the next great HW Boxing/MMA Crossover star, don't you?

    If he punches as poor as he posts I have nothing to worry about.

    He'll go to punch you, then change his mind.

    @paulkevin , you do what you want. Take no notice of @Master, he's jealous that you're more popular than he is. 😄

    Here's some more:

    The famed Georges Carpentier started his career out in the Flyweight division and actually ended up as a Heavyweight though he did start boxing professionally at the tender age of 14!
    Evander Holyfield turned down a role in the movie Rocky 5 purely because his character would be knocked out!
    Harry Greb versus Mickey Walker fought each other in 1925 and was actually filmed, however the footage has never been found!
    Jersey Joe Walcott retired 6 times before wining a world title!
    American John Rankin is the tallest ever man to enter a boxing ring at the size of 7 feet 4 inches!
    Sam Langford and Harry Wills fought each other 23 times
    It took as long as the era of Michael Moorer for a Heavyweight Champion to be a southpaw!
    Marciano had the shortest reach for a Heavyweight recorded at only 68 inches
    Oscar De La Hoya is missing the middle toe on his left foot.
    Rocky Marciano was mistakenly registered as a girl by hospital staff when he was born.
    Joe Louis was born with a full set of teeth.

    Holyfield made the right decision about Rocky 5.

    7'4 is insane. Hometown boy too . Trust me there is something in the water. Has to be one of the bigger weight differences at 104 lbs? John Rankin beat his only opponent with Ricardo Lopez sitting on his shoulders!

    Somewhere there is an old dusty attic in some run down house with just ONE Greb film reel. We can only hope.

    And it's crazy that Marciano had such a short reach. I remember seeing that he had a shorter reach than Sandy saddler who was a featherweight.
