The cancer won't kill him quickly, it would have to be a combination of factors. This year however, I think he's a very good pick. Main team worthy even. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't believe that he was as bad as the headlines made it seem, but my confidence in picking him increased throughout the year and even though he didn't go last year - I should have had him on my list. He's on my main team this go around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One shot Paddy 1,206 Posted February 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Dying Probably said: Well said. Thank You Don't know what the fuck I did, I missread the post thinking that Holmes was the last living opponent of Ali and mentioned Foreman, I then edited it to point out my mistake and somehow this happened.
