"A young punk who tried to mug an 88-year-old picked the wrong man -- his intended victim turned out to be a former boxing champion who knocked the attacker out cold.

'I was visiting a friend's grave when a young, long-haired man came up to me and demanded I hand over my money,' said granddad Gerhard Brinkmann of Halberstadt, Germany, who was the country's top lightweight boxer in 1936.

'I told him to come closer if he wanted it and, as he did, I landed a full-force right hook on his chin.' "

thats hilarious...

    What's the old saying?

    "Youth and talent are no match for age and treachery"?
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    I'll tell you what, an old man will whip your **** if you're not careful; I still wouldn't want to tangle with my old man, and he's 70. I've seen the ol guy (ex-marine) deck a 30 yr old at a ball game once--it was solid gold!

    Unfortunately in the UK, the victim may have only began to experience the mugging. Recently the UK courts have punished victims who injured their attackers more harshly than the attackers. I spend some time in the UK at our parent company, and it is just the weirdest set of laws I have ever seen.

    When I was a mall cop years ago we had this fight. We got there and this punk was knocked flat on his **** and could barely tell us his name.

    Long story short, this punk with his friends went to start some **** with this smaller guy that was by himself. Turns out the smaller guy had been a Golden Gloves boxer since he was like 4! The big dude came over and started talking **** and pushing him around and the smaller guy lit his **** up! Popped him about a half dozen times before the dude knew what hit him and knocked his **** out cold!
