5'10"

taller when standing up
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, 1st December 2005:
 
6'7"? if you ever get the chance, watch a fight with the boxer Nicolai Valuev. he is a foot taller than most of his opponents and looks very broad and heavyset. until you see him standing next to another boxer. at which point he looks like their dad.
Posted by WarHead, 1st December 2005:
 
You mean all boxers have the same dad? I never knew that.
Posted by Grim..., 1st December 2005:
 
Good call, Salt.

How the fuck is this fair:
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, 1st December 2005:
 
getting round the hotlinking...
Nicolai Valuev

i've seen him step over the ropes by only pushing down on the top one.

oh it's working now...
Posted by Victor Menendezz, 1st December 2005:
 
Oh and lets make sure the camera is down low and we wait 'till the guy we want to look big is in the foreground and the other guy is in the background.
Posted by Grim..., 1st December 2005:
 
But still...

Fucking hell! It's like some forced perspective witchcraft.

The little fella looks understandably worried
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, 1st December 2005:
 
he's slow (relative to most boxers anyway, he's faster than most men) but judging by the way his opponents go sideways and backwards, he hits harder than tyson did in his prime (i say this cos i just saw tyson's first world championship-taking fight. the guy was jolted physically sideways as much as a foot by tyson, but valuev's opponents will move a body-width sideways. and after a few times they go funny colours and sit down)

oh and "fair"-- heavyweight is the unrestricted division. i'm not even sure if you need to meet a minimum weight.
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, 1st December 2005:
 
commentator: "he's around 7'2" and something like 330lbs"

Posted by Doctor Lucid_DUPE1, 1st December 2005:
 
5'3". It's blatantly me.
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, 1st December 2005:
 
never heard of superheavyweight
*googlegoogle*
oh, it's the amateur version of heavyweight ATW*:
"Superheavyweight is a olympic (amateur) weight class division in the sport of boxing. It was introduced in 1984. A superheavyweight boxer weighs more than 200 pounds (91 kg). Corresponds to heavyweight division in professional boxing."


* according to wikipedia

So ;;;;;;;;;;;; where is the search button?

I want to find the thread where they have an argument about the necessity of having your CV online to work for Flickr.

It's not as good as the one where we talk about Tony Hart and Andi Peters.

But I still want to find it.

Discuss Cal's Rants (the original).

Oh, fuck it, I'll find it for you.

who's "they"?!? KICK they! (ow stop kicking me)
people who post praising the glories of tony hart deserve a good (stop it!) talking about.
with boots.

still reckon requiring an uncached CV vs a cached CV is pretty pants

wait. is this the right thread to say that?
