Here’s footage of a 17-year-old Mike Tyson sparring with then undefeated seasoned pro, Jimmy Clark in 1983. At one point Clark yells “The boy is strong, Cus!” After eating a Tyson combo. #Boxing #History – at Queens, NY

Dec 1995: Azumah Nelson claims the US Government shutdown is a conspiracy between the Government and the Goossen’s to mess with visa before his rematch with Gabe Ruelas 😂😂😂 #Boxing

Raekwon’s The Faster Blade from Ghostface Killah’s Ironman album would be an incredible walk out song. Kinda shocked I haven’t heard it used yet.

If you thought LA was interesting, wait till you see the list for Boston! 🤦🏻‍♂️

If Jim Heard didn’t fire Ric Flair, we wouldn’t have gotten the greatest Royal Rumble in history in 1992. So Heard is ok in my book despite the Ding Dongs, Oz, Arachnaman, and a host of other awful ideas he had for early 90’s WCW.

Choosing Jim Jeffries as the best to ever come out of LA was certainly a choice even if this article is 30 years old.

43 years ago today: Marvelous Marvin Hagler eked our a razor close decision over a resurgent Roberto Duran to retain his Middleweight 👑 in a brilliant fight. From my collection are the official shirt and hat from the event, a Duran shirt from ‘83, and a MMH shirt. #Boxing

30 years ago, former WBA Jr Welterweight champ Morris East got into a dispute with a guy over a parking space. The guy owned a bus fleet and grabbed 10 of his drivers for backup. East proceeded to lamp all of them. Mickey Walker and Harry Greb would have been proud. #Boxing

Spotted at the flea market this morning

I want to go record shopping with Sugar Ray Leonard. Impeccable taste in music.

What the world was asking in February ‘78. #Boxing

Welp, I’m back to getting angry at AI boxing slop again

Evander Holyfield’s cornerman jacket from the night he stopped then undefeated KO artist Alex Stewart in 8 rounds in an underrated war 37 years ago today.

Roberto Duran really had the best “you ain’t shit” stare of All-Time.

Almost anyone else in his position would have been talking about how motivated they were for this last chance and Dokes is like “Yeah, I’m worried about my clams casino and six figure payday” 😂 I respect it.

Michael Dokes “The past is history, the future isn't here yet, and the present is linguine and clam sauce.” quote before the Riddick Bowe fight is one of the quotes of all-time.

Greg Page corner exchange I watched: Trainer: “Greg, box this man and use your jab!” GP: “Spray me” Trainer: “What?!” GP: “Just in my nose” Trainer: “Man, listen to me!” GP: “Gimme water” Trainer: “What? No, listen to me!” GP: “Just on my head!” Trainer: “Listen!” 😂

At this point I don’t even get mad at boxing related AI slop and just laugh at the absurdity of it all. Sugar Ray Leonard looking like Bernardo from West Side Story has me cackling 😂

Since Pat posted his ballot, I guess I’ll do the same lol. For better or worse, this is who I voted for the IBHOF class of ‘27.

YES! Give me all the violence
