If Azuma was that good he would have done the business in the first fight not the second.

Jeff had him on points easily in the first fight

The nature of boxing is like gambling..stack the odds in your favor and then go ahead with the fight

The best mismatch that I can recall was Michael Spinks & Larry Holmes?
From memory Mr Spinks was giving away 15kgs

greastest white boxer...NOT..Gerry Cooney..When you lose to a reverend you know you can't box

Division Bell is certainley better than A momentary lapse of reason , The dogs of war anyone?, although the only track I'd say on The Division bell that reeks of Floyd gone by is the superb High hopes

Gerry 'Great White Hype' Cooney never fought Rev George Foreman, he retired after the Larry Holmes title fight in 1982. He made a brief comeback and was battered left right and centre. If he did fight Big George, it passed me by and I apologise in advance, but aren't you thinking of the tosser that played the boxer in Rocky 5 the one who cant fight as he has AIDS and cant bleed over anyone? He had a 'go' with Big George and got spanked

Never fails to amaze me. A thread on prog rock ends up stuck in a boxing ring.

Ignore, Lizard, Carol; I'll have five consonants, three vowels and your phone number.

Not exactly a note worth fight to remember 2 rounds

George on his 2nd or 3rd comeback before he went into business selling the lean mean george foreman grilling machine against the great white hope who had been out of action for 2 years looking more like Homer Simpson than a boxer

Call it even....my clanger was very noteworthy...souness/dalglish effort
