How good was prime Gary Goodrige ?

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Prime Goodrige starches Lewis 10/10 times

You think so? With all due respect to Big Daddy, I don't think so at all.

Neither do I. Just a blanket statement that guy wishes was true with no thought behind it.

Pre CTE Gary could take a fucking beating, he was hyper aggressive, hit like a mule that breed of Heavyweight doesn't really exist anymore.

that breed of Heavyweight doesn't really exist anymore.

Durable and aggressive? Sounds like alot of HW's fit that criteria. Also despite this durability,Fedor and Gilbert Yvel dispatched him fairly quickly. His CTE didnt make him go down any quicker. He just lacked any ability to defend himself against increasingly better strikers as time passed. Especially in k-1.

True but we're comparing him to Lewis

True but we're comparing him to Lewis

Lewis and Gilbert Yvel arent so far from each other than that Lewis knew how to get up when he got taken down,and has better wins on his record.

He was a better arm wrestler

He was a better arm wrestler

So he beat some white boy bar drunk. Big deal. True arm wrestling champ is Bob Sapp who ran through the arm wrestling tourney of tourneys, beating GOAT Fedor and Ubereem with ease.

He did give us this

I feel bad for whoever dad that was getting annihilated on tv lol. Can you imagine that was your dad ...

Holy shit. he actually beat brzenk who is the goat of arm wrestling. Wow.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

not even close

not even close to Brzenk sure, but that's not if you're counting his wasted potential that he did MMA instead of continuing on with armwrestling. the same way people put Cain as a GOAT because of his potential.

He lives in my area and I have run into him. I have him as a friend on FB and know his cousin from a job a long way back. Stopped him to say hi and that I was a fan. Sadly he looked me in the eyes and asked "Do I know you?" and he was really asking, like as if we went to high school or something like that. He has memory issues and more. Super nice guy.

He has bad cte. Has said he would have reconsidered fighting if he knew it would destroy his brain.
