He was knocking people out and it looked like he was in slow motion doing it. Pernell Whitaker was one of the top p4p guys.

I think we started around the same time. Douglas was heavyweight champ

for a minute. Sweet Pea was there, Carbajal was big out here as a local boy. JCC was riding the gravy train. Foreman hadn't even come out with his grill yet.

Just came back to fulfill my bet with you anyway, I'm off again have a good one fellas.

Bloody hell mate, thought you'd left the planet !!

Good to see your ok and doing well Killer !!

My Dad was a big Roy Jones fan and I remember watching Jones fight Julio Gonzalez on ppv and dominating. Later he dominated John Ruiz, whom neither me or my Dad ever thought would beat Holyfield, let alone produce the most boring trilogy boxing has ever seen.

Roy Jones seemed untouchable, no one stood a chance. Then Tarver got that one in a thousand counter shot in...
