This has been simmering for quite a while since is was blessed with a Pee Review by Chiefjustice on11 August 2009. Lots of time went into this one before VFH. Tried not to make it too long. Cheers! (Romy, we look forward to your suggestions as always).--Funnybony Icons-flag-th.png Agnideva-small.jpg AGT-logo-small.jpg 22:14, Dec 12

  • Comment. As I don't follow boxing that well, I don't know where the facts stop and the fiction start - except in some obvious references. I first thought this was something about the group Duran Duran! Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 16:26, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, Romy. After all did you get the absurd joke, Durán Durán, nicknamed "Roberto" after a British pop-band? If its not obvious then I'll remove it. DONE, thanks. But that means starting out with nothing absurd. As far as facts from fantasy it is about 50/50, like Dempsey (who defeated Firpo with a bazooka). Should I lower the numbers mentioned? Or are absurdly high numbers better than normal, boring, believable numbers? A lot of progress can be made while an article is on VFH. Whattya say, Bro!--Funnybony Icons-flag-th.png Agnideva-small.jpg AGT-logo-small.jpg 17:44, Dec 13
  • Okay, I can't even read this one properly until Wikia gets its damn act together... ghuh... 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 05:14, 16 December 2010
    Eh... this article starts out so nicely, but then it seems to just get more and more random and unfocussed... just listing random facts at the end; I'm surprised. Add to that the fact that it contradicts itself - his parents noticed his birth defects within months, yet he was the son of a famous fellow and a hooker? There was something else, too, but all it really did was confuse me. And for that matter, why 'mas'? Is that intentional? 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 17:10, 18 December 2010
Good report. Okay, think I fixed all that now - performed a BS removal. "No mas" was made famous by Duran in a fight when he quit against Ray Leonard back in 1985 or something. He's most remembered for saying that. Really. Cheers--Funnybony Icons-flag-th.png Agnideva-small.jpg AGT-logo-small.jpg 10:45, Dec 19
I mean the spelling - innit spanish? Shouldn't it be 'más'? Or not? Anyhow, I'll take a look. 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 17:24, 19 December 2010
Right! Thanks! más is fixed. Cheers!--Funnybony Icons-flag-th.png Agnideva-small.jpg AGT-logo-small.jpg 19:06, Dec 19
