Yesterday, I encountered one of the strangest stories that I have ever heard. Apparently, two 90+ year-old men are due for a showdown in a boxing match:
91-Year-Old to Jack LaLanne: Let's Get It On
You probably know the fitness guru Jack LaLanne, the nonagenarian who pulls off crazy stunts like swimming 1.5 miles while towing 70 boats on his 70th birthday. But now let me introduce you to Roland Fortin, a 91-year-old former boxing cut man who is challenging LaLanne to a fight. Fortin is suggesting that a four-round boxing match between himself and LaLanne could establish once and for all the answer to the question that's been debated on barstools across the country: Who's the toughest guy in the country in the 90-plus age bracket? The challenge has been picked up by newspapers, ESPN mentioned it, and there's even talk that Don King could get involved. There's just one problem, as I see it. Fortin is 91 and LaLanne is 92. It seems to me, if you want to be among the toughest in the elderly set, you have to challenge someone younger than you. It's time for Fortin to pick on someone his own age.
I…just don’t even know what to say. Isn’t this just asking for trouble? How can two men over the age of ninety fight each other without someone getting killed?
What’s next? Will we find toddlers challenging each other to fights?
Actually, that sounds like it could be a hit show on FOX.
You heard it here first.
Much luv,
Rob
