NPOV ??[edit]

quote - But his world class power in his right hand brought him to contention - end quote Seems abit over-reaching; that statement. It's not like we're talking about Mike Tyson or Earnie Shavers, but Carl Thompson !

quote - Carl 'The Cat' Thompson was also renowned for his bravery, granite chin and on occasion snatching glorious victory from the jaws of defeat - end quote. Didn't mention his handsome face, showbiz teeth and extraordinary lovemaking skills ???

quote - allowing Carl to deliver a sledgehammer of a right hand to the South African's skull knocking him out clean - end quote. To his SKULL ??

continued from above - Rothman bravely tried to get back on his feet but his legs had gone - end quote. Hang on a minute, you just said he had been "knocked out clean" ???!!!! Now he's up on his feet before 10 ?

I'm going to edit some of this shit.

NPOV (Addendum)[edit]

Despite the colorful comments of the above NPOV entry, the validity of it is still the same. This article reads like a gushing fanboy rather than an encyclopedic entry. Please help. - DrachenFyre > YOU! (talk) 14:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
