Gypsy, Holyfield?
A young lady just stated that Evander was the only tough fighter in the HEavyweight division in the last 50 years! What is your thought on this statement?

Thanks Terrence for asking me a question. There have been a few tough ones, mainly Frazier, but none of them including Frazier would look at anyone or anything and not be scared like Holyfield. My grandpa was the light heavyweight champion of his Marine division, and was on the first Marine wave at Guadalcanal. My dad was also a great boxer in the Air Force, but lost the division semi-finals. He was a re-con photographer in Vietnam. He also beat the crap out of race car driver Bobby Unser in a bar fight in Albuquerque. My Grandpa's two brothers were state wrestling champions in Oklahoma, and Oklahoma has the best wrestlers there are - look it up! My cousin Pat almost won the first Toughman Contest for Oklahoma in the late 70's. A lot of other relatives have won some minor Golden Gloves stuff as well.
I think I know a little about fighting. I think you wish that you knew as much and had seen as much as I have. I grew up listening to dad and grandad. They both said nobody could whup Joe Louis. They said Cassius Clay/ Ali would get ripped to shreds by Marciano. Dad watched Evander Holyfield and said he was the toughest guy he had seen in so many years. So put that in your pipe and smoke it boys!

I disagree with her of course, obviously the young lady has limited boxing knowledge, or an overly developed definition of "toughness". I will agree with her on one point, it is difficult to find a "tougher" fighter than Holyfield in any weight division, Evander defined "heart" and wrote a new chapter in the book under "toughness".

Just observe your new bunny for a while. It may take a few hours or a few days. Your bunny will show you something in it's personality that will let you know the perfect name for it. I have twenty bunnies with names and some who don't have names. The twenty named themselves by their behavior. Elvira Mistress of the Dark has a very ill temper. Whitey is a large white doe and is sweet as can be. Watch your bunny for it's name. good luck, Rabby

I`m just glad to see women interested in boxing. Of course she`s wrong there`s guys like Jerry Quarry, Tua, and even Ali that can rightfully be considered tough guys.
