@Duckpin1964 @Jimfrombaseball And others said Babe Ruth was the white Josh Gibson

@JoelHar10293694 @WWESuperCard @ufc Regular pull or reset limit pull?

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@johncookjr1980 @nut_history Folks that saw both of them play called Gibson the "Black Babe Ruth" and Ruth the "White Josh Gibson"

@UncleFreddy45 @nut_history Deadball era ended in 1920. 100 years ago was 1926, the year of the Yankees notorious Murderers Row lineup.

@GossageGoose @jakevanhofwegen @nut_history He also hit one in Philly I think it was that flew all the way to Pittsburgh where the same 2 teams were playing. The outfielder caught it and the umpire told him "you're out, in Philadelphia, yesterday" according to legend. If I remember the anecdote correctly

@ChampRDS It's not what you do when you win that makes a fighter great, it's how you come back from a loss that truly makes or breaks a fighter.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@BigChon128 @ChampRDS @Topuriailia @danawhite You can't let opponents get in your head. He did that. Marquez did the same thing against Floyd, otherwise, stylistically, he should have beaten Floyd. Same can be said for Ilia and Justin.

@imf_hunt @TheCinesthetic Dude you ain't even from America so shut the fuck up and worry about them dingos eating your babies instead of what happened to an American icon.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@DougThirkettle @TheCinesthetic Carey is cool and can be serious though. The one that fits this description the most is Will Ferrell. Dude is never serious about anything.

@TrueCrich @WrestlePurists How is he corny? He's one of the best talents in the world and showing respect to two legends that got done dirty.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@johnnytheman2c @MostVpromotions IS the heavyweight champ. He's still lineal until someone beats him for it and takes it back to the UFC or he retires and the top 2 heavyweights in the UFC fight each other.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@_aidanwatts_ @arielhelwani Unfortunately, in today's American political climate, and due partially to Trump's support of the UFC, it's popular to hate anyone that either isn't American or is from a country we have a negative relationship with.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@deepwatermatrix @arielhelwani @nickdiaz209 Because in the American commissions opinions the fact that you can get more leverage on a knee to the head of a grounded opponent and do more damage with it than a 12-6 elbow makes it more dangerous and looks more brutal and thus is not allowed.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@bholloway @arielhelwani Except Dricus didn't hold Sean down for 25 minutes and got boxed around the octagon at times during the fight.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@kratostwyn @arielhelwani Uh you forgot Shamrock, Severn, Frye, Coleman, Lesnar, Kerr, Randleman, and a few others that were ground game specialists at a high level. All ended up losing to either a striker or eastern European fighter with striking and similar elite grappling skill and/or a Gracie.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@RMetzEsq @arielhelwani Ilia is from Georgia not Dagestan or Chechnya. He's not from the same Islamic area of Russia as the others are. He also moved to Spain at a young age. He's a complete fighter with devastating knockout power whereas the other two are suffocating wrestlers. That's why.

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@enriquevsoto @ringmagazine @MikeCoppinger Canelo fights whoever he wants to fight. Has had that privilege since Floyd retired and he became the new cash cow. Bud wanted to test himself the old school way. It worked out in his favor. Canelo don't want no part of Benavidez.

@AndrewPiera @TSN_Sports Too short and let beating Bama once go to his head

[Jay Alford @Ghost93rga]

@ScottH40449762 @TSN_Sports Heisman winner, took a joke School to an undefeated national championship season vs a guy whose biggest claim to fame was he beat Bama once and gave a joke School some credibility. Yeah I'm taking the Heisman winner.

@holy_modem @Variety Make this make sense. It makes none
