IMO=in my opinionRL=real life (sometimes substituted with RT for
"real time"), IOW (in other words), not online.;-)|

news report in Australia today that George Chuvalo is taking legal action
against Sylvester Stallone over the Rocky movies. Chuvalo is claiming that
Stallone told him that he got the Rocky idea after watching Chuvalo fight Ali.
So Chuvalo now wants a slice of the $1.4 billion that the movies hauled in. IMO
that's a lot of money RT. The Bayonne Bleeder wants Stallone to bleed
financially.|

kindness ! May you add two little informations ? What's LOL
(laughing...?)?What's BTW ? Evren is right ! It's Chuck Wepner, not George
Chuvalo ! I have read that stuff some days ago ! Money ! Money ! I suspect that
people likes money ! |

Curtis Sheppard was a guy that fought Jersey Joe Walcott !|
|11/14/03 08:20:54 AM|Fran|PA||plc7755@aol.com||||10|I agree the fight in Zaire
wasn't fixed in that Foreman threw the fight it was that they let Ali hold and
let the fight proceed with illegal ropes. And I believe Foreman was drugged. We
saw all through those years where Ali got away with everything and that was
because he made big money for everyone. Then the publicity and hype that he was
the greatest. Norton beat him 3 times. Frazier beat him 2 out of three. Jimmy
Young beat him. He was hype in the second part of his career. Chuck Wepner was a
stiff who Ali fought because he was a bum and Ali knew he needed an easy fight.
Wepner was a stiff who was also over the hill wasn't even in the top 50. |
|11/14/03 09:50:53 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|It was once reported that Curtis
Sheppard caught his wife and a police officer making love in their house. Curtis
killed the officer and then cut his wifes head off. He then went to a bar
oredered a drink then put his wifes head on the bar and said "order her one
too". Whether this is true or not I don't know but the police officer died, his
wife was killed and Curtis spent his life in jail and is still there as far as I
know.Try this website

Frazier's son Marvis, who was sitting at ringside, recalls that one of Joe' s
entourage, Willie Monroe, who was sitting near Ali's corner , had been trying to
attract Futch's attention over the pandemonioum. He was shouting " Ali' is
finished" but nobody heard him. It all could have been different if they 'd
heard Willie Monroe. Maybe Frazier would have won by KO 14.Wepner was a top
10 contender at the moment of the Ali' fight, even if, the ratings are not
always realistic...|

a ill-mannered behaviour !|

LOL=laughing out loud.BTW=by the way.Yes, the
pandemonium was so great that Frazier's camp never heard the word that Ali was
finished, and wasn't going to come out for the last round. Ali fans won't hear
of this, but after taking bombs from one of the hardest punchers in heavyweight
history, calling it a day would seem like a pretty good idea to me! :-) In
addition to Ali's Parkinson's, he's had dialysis as well. What the punches did
