goes, and this helped contribute to Griffith's performance that resulted in
Paret's ring death.Bonavena called Ali a "marichon" (fag), as did Duran
to Leonard, though this was certainly more attempts at messing with them than a
statement of reality.I imagine that while gays exist in prizefighting,
just as they do in the NFL, armed services, or any other traditionally macho
venue, that there'd be fewer of them, and in any event, they'd be harder to
determine in such a culture, since attempts to disguise this would be greater
than say, in figure skating or ballet.There was a guy once who fought
professionally to pay for his way through hairdressing school (not that that
automatically means he was gay). He wasn't a champ or anything, but I thought
that was kind of funny!|

least your last post proves something: you never saw active service. Anyone
decent and loyal enough to serve their country wouldn't carry on like you do. So
put the bottle down and give yourself an uppercut. Besides, I don't think that
Wallaby's have bad breath. Apart from that, I don't think it's fair to the other
posters for this stuff to carry on any longer so I won't bother responding to
you again. |

before thought about the subject you raised. To my knowledge none of those
rumours ever reached over here. From memory Emile Griffith died about two years
ago and he had been in poor health for some years before then. You mentioned a
couple of times about how good the era was with Ali, Frazier, and Foreman. I
agree that we should consider ourselves blessed to have witnessed it. I also
reckon we were fortunate to see the Leonard, Duran, Hearns, and Hagler period.
Weren't there some great, great fights among them. Those Hagler and Hearns
rounds still send shivers down my spine. There was drama, power, courage,
controversy, upsets, and everything else you needed to create a great spectacle
when all of those guys fought. The closest thing to this era might have been
with Sugar Ray Robinson, Zale, La Motta and all those guys. That would have been
something else to see as well. But back to Ali. The big fights he had against
Frazier and Foreman and a few others had such an effect on me that I can still
remember where I watched them and who I was with. They weren't just fights; they
were events. |
