Gordie Howe treated father time the way Bogs treated Tim Robbins.

Once the hate for him dies down, he'll get more respect from his detractors. A true legend of our time.

Another one...

40 years old and still one of the best

Floyd retired many times. Keeps coming back to teach these kids some lesson.

And Father Time still hasn't interfered.

Had a great run until he petered out this year.

Gordie Howe roughed up an NHL player who cheap shotted his son when he was 50.

George Blanda played 27 seasons in the NFL. He came into the league in 1949 and retired in 1975.

This guy fought him to a draw.

Gordie Howe treated father time the way Bogs treated Tim Robbins.

And a hard nosed statistic was named after him: The Gordie Howe Hat trick- score a goal, get an assist, and get into a fight in one game.

Father time is oldschool, so he likes woman-beaters.

Gordie How was a NHL player who cheap shotted his son when he was 50.

This is how I read that.

MVP at age 40 in a sport where you can't pad your record with cans.

Stupid thread.
He was 38 when he had his last boxing fight (serious boxing fight). Not that old.
Also, you can see that he is not that good as he was before, same as everyone else.

Roy Jones Jr boxes at 49 years.
Hopkins at 51.

Not to mention blood doping.

Floyd was boring, he ran from fights.

He will never be in the glory rung of fighters like Ali, Duran, Frazier, SR Robinson.

 

[HIMBOB]

And used father time to beat his toughest opponents.

This is how I read that.

He busted up a Russian at 46. this is hilarious stuff about Gordie playing with his two sons.

On the ice, Gordie was a “helicopter parent” with his blades (stick and skates) moving at full speed.

As one of the most vicious and toughest players to have ever played the game, God have mercy on anyone who laid a stick or hand on one of his boys.

In one incident an opposing player lay on top of Mark and would not get off. Gordie skated over and politely asked the perpetrator to get up. When the fool wouldn’t do it, Howe slipped off his right glove, placed two fingers into the players nostrils and lifted him up by the nose.

Later Mr. Hockey told reporters: “A guy will always go where his nose goes.” And also, “Nothing can replace blood kin.”

Years later Gordie recounted to Windsor Star hockey writer Bob Duff a more alarming incident of familial retribution that occurred in the 1974 series between the WHA All Stars and Russia.

“I remember a Russian player slashed Mark in the ear and cut him open. The next shift when we were out together I had the puck and he was coming for me. I said, ‘Oh you want the puck? Well here it is’. I threw it in the corner and when he went to get it I broke his arm. After the game he had to shake hands like this.” Duff wrote that Howe reached across his body extending his left hand, still smiling devilishly at the memory.
