    So in essence, you're telling Brock he's a fucking ass clown if he goes through with this? lol
    I am just saying having the balls to do something is sometimes enough. It's not easy to be Rambo 3 and take on the entire Soviet Union, but Rambo: First Blood was much more realistic. John Rambo could have just walked away, but he said 'No, I jolly well want to stay in this town'.

    You could die if you try to box at a high level what are you trying to go for. I mean 52 in boxing years you might as well be a 100 you are 20 years past your prime maybe even more and at your age you will not heal soon if you fight. It is your life but i would say it is not a good idea to get in ring now really.

    You're never going to box mate. Maybe spar but not fight
