ever met a retired heavyweight boxer..a champion....a tyson, a lewis, a holmes.???...they put on a few pounds here and there, let the middle aged spread, well, spread i guess.....yet under it all, you know that there is still immense, nullifying power....sure the reflexes have slowed down, dulled by the passing of time, the lithe, effortless grace is no longer apparent, but you know that he could get up on his toes for one more round if he had too, you know he has that burst of speed, that sudden burst of energy that will leave his contenders trailing in his wake.....he just cant put it together for the full 15 rounds anymore...and hell, he doesnt have to...in his time, he was the man..the undisputed champion..those that thought they could compete were clinically dispatched, those that did compete went life and death and were left battered and bruised...when his fans spy him today, they still speak in hallowed tones, point and whisper..'there he is..remember when he was top of the tree..jeez, that was a sight to see...'..they dont care that his suits are now a little threadbare, that he no longer dresses in armani or boss, that his muscle tone aint what it was..they just remember the glory days..the days when he ruled the division with an iron fist........but im not talking about a boxer here, truth be told....im talking about my 928.....sure it cant do 170mph anymore, and maybe some of its 319 ponies have jumped the fence and went off to pastures new, but its still got the heavyweight champions ambience, people still point and whisper....people regard the old scoundrel with a fondness, even though its a bit down at heel and has a few bruises and scratches here and there.....but like any heavyweight champion...not many people wanna engage it in a streetfight..even now..cos they can remember what used to be......ladies and gentlemen, i give you the ex heavyweight champion of the world...the 928....
