Every school has them, the...bully. But just who was the king of the bullies? I think I have it, that guy who could whip all the other bullies. That would be Houston's George Foreman. He grew up in the Third Ward housing project and by 16 he was walking the streets demanding money from grown men. Either empty your pockets or take a beating. The Third Ward was like the Storyville region of New Orleans, as long as it was black on black crime...... it! Let them....n.... do themselves in, who cares? Ya gotta read what Louis Armstrong says about growing up there, hard to believe.
As we all know Foreman got into boxing and won the Olympics and became the World Champion. Hard to imagine any other bad man kicking his ass as a young man.
If ya wanna see what many consider the greatest (modern day) heavyweight fight, youtube Foreman vs Ron Lyle. Lyle was an x-confict and a big bad dude.

At 16? No, it's really not. Plenty of other fully grown men who knew how to handle themselves. Street fights aren't boxing. Someone sees you pulling that and slips a knife into your back.Hard to imagine any other bad man kicking his ass as a young man.
Foreman grew up in the 5th Ward
Dude, do you really think I'm talking about using a weapon? Who said anything about boxing as a kid?
Been awhile since I read his story, obviously.Foreman grew up in the 5th Ward
Avante, how do you like my latest poem tbh? I haven't shown LG this poem yet, do you think it's good enough for LG to read?
sorry... here's the link

I liked your first one better but you do sell the feelings. A tad bit too much honey in this one. On the right track however.
You said he was fighting guys at 16 on on the street. A 16 year old George Foreman would get his ass handed to him by a lot of people.
Dude, this isn't me making up some story, ok? This is the George Foreman story. Keep in mind this is a guy who won an Olympics, won the World Championship, he was one in a billion. This wasn't just some big kid acting stupid. This was a guy who would become one of the best big fighters ever. Now just how many guys walking around Houston do you really think were legit fighters?
thanks for your advice bro, I also think the 2nd half is a bit too bold, it might be taken as a love proposal when I'm totally unready for anything serious as a relationship at this moment nonetheless. I just wanna do whatever it takes to maintain the friendship with LG, see how things progress the next year and I'll then hopefully figure out if LG is the Miss Right for me or not. I don't wanna compel LG to do anything indeed, I think the type of friendship for me & LG at this moment is best to be like that between Goddess and Chris Evans, tbh.
Yes. I'm saying he was lucky. You really think Foreman at 16 was an unstoppable beast? In a street fight anything can happen, man. If the story is true he's lucky, and not what I would call the toughest bully ever.
We all need inspiration when it comes to poetry, obviously you have yours which seems to unleash your best. Keep at it.
There has never been a street bully who ended up winning an Olympic gold medal and the World le.
yes I'd say this guy was ...THE...bully. You seem to not understand this was a very rare individual, not to be confused with just some street thug.
Dude, don't take my word for this, go ahead...Google...his life story, there it is.
So you're saying Foreman at 16 was unbeatable in a streetfight where knives and guns might be involved. K.
Yep, that's what I;m saying. At 16 there was nobody walking the streets of Houston who could whip George Foreman in a fight. Why are you struggling with this so badly? Why do you keep bringing up guns and knives, that has zero to do with this. , why not talk a bazooka?
Betty Robinson won the Olympic 100m at age 16, she was the fastest female in the world. Yes she could stand on any street corner in the world and win each and every foot race challenge. George Foreman was just like that......special!
Was that really your photograph with those Blue Blockers on?
Dude, do you never actually talk about the topic of a thread? Why this need to always with the OP?
If I wanted to discuss your topics I could just go back to the start of your tenure here since every thread is you sucking off some big black buck.
because straight line speed is analogous to fighting.
How many 16 year olds do you see winning boxing world championships?
stupid thread
You really do have problems trying to talk with adults don't ya half pint? Doesn't acting like a total moron ever get old with you?
GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many 16 year olds do you see winning boxing world championships?
I can see I;m going to have to slow it down.
Betty Robinson was the bet in the world at 16. ok, ya with me?
Who is talking street boxing, hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this dumb for real?
That coming from a guy who thinks a peeking over a table is funny, hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
