He could take a punch, until one day in Virginia Beach.
RIP. That 1984 US Olympic boxing team was something else. Of course no Cubans fought against them but still a pile of gold medals and future world champions.
I bike, but rarely after dark, and if it’s dark I have lights and get on the damn sidewalk even though it’s illegal.

Made it entertaining to watch someone avoid getting hit. He had to have big one’s to know that was his strategy every time he stepped into the ring against bigger, stronger opponents. Saw him live in Vegas in 1992 on a double bill with Riddick Bowe. It was 113 degrees out when I got off the plane.

I don’t know if it’s the same in other places but we have a real problem here with black people wearing darks clothes crossing the street in the middle of the night at some place other than the intersection and getting hit by cars. I just can’t figure out why this happens.
