You can think he's lying all you like, he still said it, in fuckin print in the NY Times, your OPINION if he's lying is completely irrelevant.

Slade was trained by Jem Mace (probably the first great sportsman)... no one who spent any time sparring with Jem Mace is going to be a complete mug. Jem Mace was the father of scientific boxing, a master. He could probably lick the equivalent weighgt (supper middle probably) lbs for lbs boxing champion and MMA champion on the same night if he was alive today. Without exageration I would say "the gypsy" was the equal first greatest sportsman of the 19th century (the other being WG Grace)
Slade was still nothing more than an actor with wrestling on his record, unless your a hypocrite as well, I mean if Lesnar was an 'actor' for being a wrestler, certainly Slade was the same thing for engaging in wrestling.
