He's a very wealthy man and remains bad day at the office for any rival tough guy who wishes to poke at a Grizzly bear. He's a monster who - like Playfair, Brown, McKenzie, Richter etc. - is pretty much just happily a well paid nuclear deterrent at this stage of his career. Disappointing would be Peters, McGrattan, Boogaard but injuries bring all athletes to their knees.

Best post in the thread. The Laraque hate is so silly on here at times. Anybody ever consider that maybe that Laraque fights are boring maybe partially because how his opponents choose to fight him? Or does anyone consider that his lack of fights are due to the fact that not many people really want to tangle with him? Also what's with these comments that Laraque needed to go out and prove anything? He has been the champ forever. People have to beat the champ not the other way around.
