problems were probably more of the Ali/Quarry origin - an accumulation of fights
rather than just one, but the thing is, who knows? Since some fighters go long
careers with relatively little or no (obvious) damage, any given boxer could
conceivably be injured in just one fight, and have the problems assigned to an
entire career. Ali, for example ~could~ owe his condition entirely to Joe
Frazier. Since this isn't something we know, and obviously boxing is
going to be slow to initiate any ongoing monitoring to determine beginning and
increasing damage, the best we can do now is to stop fights to a fault.

how about some top ten lists? We could do them for any division, or for any
niche within a division. I'll start out with an obvious one, and list my choice
for top ten all time heavyweights, based on record, their best nights,
potential, obviously how I think they'd have done against each other, and so
forth. BTW, Ring magazine has a really neat issue this month - 50 great fights
you never saw. Really good reading, and really gets the thought processes going!
Top ten heavies:Muhammed AliGeorge ForemanJoe
FrazierJoe LouisJack DempseyMike TysonEvander HolyfieldSonny
ListonRocky MarcianoJack JohnsonThe really tough guy contenders
during the boxing's Golden Age - Quarry, Shavers, Lyle, Bugner, Chuvalo etc. -
could have taken most of the rest of the champions. Can you imagine Quarry-
Braddock, Shavers-Tunney, Lyle-Sullivan, Chuvalo-Corbett, or Bugner-Fitzsimmons?

may be crazy, but I'm not drunk yet, though Friday night is still young! :-)
Primo Carnera? LOL! I'd actually carry a picket sign against the fight, if her
were matched up against Foreman or Frazier. Actually, besides those two, there
are several assassins on my list - Louis, Dempsey, Liston, Tyson. Some of these
guy's temperament in the ring (and out for Tyson) advances the argument that
fighters are killers who got into a legal line of work! |

where are the minds of todays boxing fans? you have got to be crazy to rate jack
dempsey in the top ten of all time. tyson would kill dempsey, it would almost
like fightinga golden glove fighter. dempsey not a chance, not in this world
or the next one. get real people or just watch the cartoon channel. coo coo|
|9/27/03 08:18:21 AM|Massimo "Too Big" Cini|Rome||d||||10|Primo Carnera was
simply and by far the greatest boxer,pound for pound, of all time ( or of
all times ?) !Why ? He had the sturdiest chin ever, was twice more powerful
than Foreman, twice more fast than Ali' and was a better tactician than Tunney !
Ah ! Ah ! I'd like it ! I'd like it !|
|9/27/03 12:40:07 PM|Massimo|Rome||5||||10|In your opinion, soon after Manilla,
would Ali' have prefered to fight Frazier for the fourth timeor Foreman for
the second ?|
