AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Most people know Floyd mate. However you're right, about Ali and Tyson. Heavyweight champion was the greatest prize in sports. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Sums it up https://www.theguardian.com/observer/osm/story/0,,543962,00.html I believe McEnroe when asked said they wouldn't make a top 500 ranking. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Make that 700 "Serena Williams has hit back at John McEnroe after the tennis legend claimed she would be ranked at around world No. 700 if she played on the ATP Tour." | ||

I dont understand why she would be bothered. Its obvious she will be at a huge disadvantage against men. But she has still made a killing doing what she loves. | ||

Heard an interview the other day by a coach who thought she would be top 25 -he made the claim she had a 300lb clean. Massively impressive but can anyone name whose twenty fifth in mens tennis currently? | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts | Sport is taken way too seriously in my opinion. I struggle to see it as anything more than game playing. Certainly not worth getting into arguments/fights over! | ||

The article i posted shows she wouldn't be ranked top 200...we all need coping mechanisms though 300lb clean is impressive if true | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | Post Edited: 02.04.2018 @ 08:41 AM by ChrisMcCarthy A 300lb Clean seems a bit far-fetched (would need to see it to believe it) but I don't doubt she is phenomenally strong...in fact it would not surprise me if she was better suited to lifting weights than actually playing Tennis.  | ||

It just shows the gulf really, he did it for a laugh and still took apart the two women that have dominated the sport for over a decade. | ||

You've been warned. | ||
