A suspect heart attack in waiting
I don't know Sham. I had both of my heart attacks when I was in peak condition.

Hope you are well now die
I am now, Sham. Fat, lazy, and happy. I was running, eating right, martial arts, happy. Genes did me in. Oh, and my second heart attack came when I was doing Zumba, I'm embarrassed to say.
Hughie Fury: Joseph Parker is counting his chickens before they hatch
Young British heavyweight Hughie Fury believes he deserves Joseph parker's full attention for their WBO title fight.
Hughie Fury has accused Joseph Parker of "basic ignorance" as the Kiwi looks to hatch plans beyond their WBO world heavyweight title fight.
Over the last fortnight Parker has called out WBC champion Deontay Wilder and new British star Tony Bellew, looking for a massive pay day down the line.
First Parker must negotiate his way past mandatory challenger Fury in a fight set to be confirmed for May 6 in New Zealand.
Fury has accused Parker of taking his eye off the ball and vows to make the unbeaten Kiwi pay.
"It's basic ignorance that Parker is overlooking me and already hatching a plan to fight Wilder next," Fury told The Sun as interest in the WBO title fight ramps up because of the British connections.
Joseph Parker and Kevin Barry are training in Las Vegas for the Hughie Fury fight.
"But he'll find out painfully he counted his chickens before they've hatched.
"In fact, let them overlook me because when I do defeat Parker, he'll be the one who has badly underestimated me when he sees me with the world title belt around my waist.
"Then Wilder must come to me to negotiate a unification fight."
Unbeaten Fury, 22, says he is treating Parker with respect and is out to make the most of this unexpected title shot.
He's revelling in being written off.
"I'm happy going under the radar and going into the fight as the underdog because then when I cause the upset it will send shock waves around the world," Fury told The Sun.
"There's no way I'm underestimating Parker and I'm treating him with the respect he deserves as a world champion.
"But come fight night that goes out of the window and I'm going all out to tear that title from him in front of his own countrymen."
Fury is also being driven by the personal nature of the fight.
The WBO belt was reluctantly relinquished by his cousin Tyson Fury who beat Wladimir Klitschko. But Tyson Fury, battling drug problems and inactivity, has his titles stripped off him by authorities and Parker claimed the vacant WBO belt.
Hughie said his cousin proved titles could be won away from home and that gave him encouragement for his fight in New Zealand.
Tyson Fury is expected to be part of the entourage coming Down Under.
"I was there when Tyson won that world title fair and square in Germany against Klitschko and defeated the recognised best of the division the hard way in the man's own backyard," Hughie Fury said.
"So when Tyson gave the belt back voluntarily it was felt by the whole family. To me, he is still the world champion, the lineal champion, the man who beat the man.
"Everybody has rushed to try and pick up a world title, Parker now has the WBO belt and I see it as my duty to retrieve it and bring it back home to the family,
"Tyson showed that it can be done, to go abroad and win the world title and now I want to follow his example and do it on the other side of the world."
The Parker camp see Fury as an ideal way to introduce their man to the booming British fight scene, with a win opening doors to bigger and more lucrative fights up there.
Duco Events boss David Higgins says it's his job to look to future fights to keep the Parker train rolling and Parker's job top hold his focus on the fight immediately in front of him.
He has no fears over Parker's focus as the 25-year-old continues his training camp in Las Vegas with trainer Kevin Barry.

Easy to imagine you being an ebarassment lol, but I cant imagine you fat...
Nah, I'm in good shape. Go to the gym every day. Put my younger mates to shame. And yes, I am an embarrassment, but it's an old man's right. You'd know about that Sham. Going on about AJ...
Die, I'm not old I'm young. I haven't ridden a motorbike for 25 or so years but I bought a M50 v800 cruiser 3 wks ago and have toured the Hamilton countryside on it whenever I can. I'm getting used to it and wife Gail is nearly persuaded to come out on it. AND I don't think I've mentioned AJ the champion for at least 3 weeks.
Sham, I'm voting for you to be the most improved player on here this year. Of course, we're just a little over 2 months into the year. But it sounds like Hamilton agrees with you. Fantastic!
