Hard Men of Boxing

[smashup]

Marcel Cerdan is one of my all time fave fighters (Destroyed Tony Zale for fun) sadly he died in a plane crash age 33.
109 fights (69 KO's) puts todays fighters into perspective really
Brutal,Brutal fighter and anyone who KO's Dick Turpin is the stuff of English Folk law.
No not that Dick Turpin

Cerdan hammering Zale

[BIG H]

Surprised Vincenzo Nardiello hasnt got a mention.

Haha - 4got him - Balls of steel wool

[Memphis]

Sticking with the Italians. Vincenzo Belcastro. Hamed made him look a proper twat but he was hard as you like.

what do u mean by that daxx? cause mike didnt retaliate? have u ever seen sapp in action? not all that impressive for a big man, ive seen guys half hes size almost ko him,not much of a style there,even a 40 yr old shot tyson would beat him IMO peace

[mucho testosterone]

Maxi Baer

I would agree with that....

but oddly he was listed on someones worst heavy of all times list WTF

[mucho testosterone]

Where I live there is a park dedicated to Baer because this is the city that he grew up in.

AS for the Bob Sapp thing Tyson was at a MMA event acting like a big man and Bob Sapp went after him physicaly then taunted him with insults...Calling himm everything form, a bitch tho a faggot....Tyson was visibaly shook...Later on at a press conference he call bob MR. Sapp and kept saying how awsome he was blah blah...Truth is Mike was punked.......It was that obvious....
Anytime in the ring Tyson was put on the defensive eg Douglas..Holyfield,,Lewis he was disposed of...Hard men don't crumble when pushed back...Tyson has shown lack of heart on several occasions....EG punk and thug

[stavros693000]

was tyson retired when the sapp incident happend? think he was ...anyway that version of mike tyson dosent want to fight anymore,hes not an animal anymore,hes transformed in to what appears to be a nice person, and i like this version of mike tyson,finally no more hate in him,he found hes peace.....but how can u say he had no heart! ok not as much as holyfeild ,but he took huge punishment from douglas and lewis ,i think it takes courage to take a standing beating like that..but i agree ,he did get discouraged easily his whole carrer,that was his only downfall,but he took all his beatings like a man!

and also i think sapps a disrespectful cu#t,mutha fuka,how dare he challenge tyson with hes primitive skills kidding! why call out tyson when hes like 40 and shot,why not call him out earlier like late 90's..maybe sapp wasnt fighting in the 90's not to sure,but disrespecting a modern great whos done more for hes sport than that piece of sh!t,he should of shook tysons hand, not call him fagget and homo and charge at him..i think mike handled himself like a gentleman,like the way he should have when he was champ..but sapps just lucky he didnt get to tyson,cause mike would have takin sapps head off with bare nuckle punch

C'mON nOW sTAVROS?Your smarter than that.....Mike made a career on bums....I like a Prime Mike as much as anyone but Look at some of his comp....Retired or not Mike was called out and he got scared....Sonny Liston was another pretender and nothing more than a thug....and please do not say he took a dive against Ali...There are hard men and then their are bullys
