The thread on Smokin' Joe's death brought this to mind...
A guy on a pool site I visit wrote of playing a low stakes match (friendly stuff)
with a nice guy who hangs in a pool hall in the Denver area. After the nice guy paid his debt, the pool player asked the guys name & what he did for a living, since it was obvious the nice guy wasn't playing pool for his money.
The response: "Ron Lyle, I used to box some."
Uh yeah....here's some highlights of Lyle vs. Foreman...if you like heavy punching heavyweights, here you go...no ali shuffles or rope a dopes here...just two guys trying to put each other down...
