What's "caution money?" Baseball fans love the game any way they can get
it. I personally only like it at the ball park, on a nice day. We don't go to
that many games, because we don't like being ripped off by the high ticket
prices. Football, basketball, and hockey are just as bad, plus the Chicago teams
in those sports are atrocious on top of being expensive!I don't eat fast
foods that often - part of my fitness regimen! McDonalds has been accused by
some consumer watchdog groups of putting things in their food that's mildly
addictive (just what Americans need - something to make them fatter).|

dictionary that " caution money" is the possibility to go out from jail by
paying some money. I guess I have to burn that dictionary, you are my ET and I
believe only in you !|

for the comments. Don't be put off....stay posting, same as Massimo is. In a
previous post you mentioned that you had a tape or something of boxer Les Darcy.
I've got a good book on Darcy that will give you a better understanding of him,
and if you e-mail me an address, I'll send it over. |

"(QUOTE)That's very true. These guys are less concerned with
entertaining the fans and more concerned about the color of their trunks or the
way their hair is styled. There's too much money in boxing, which makes it an
easy payday for those fighters who lack character, determination, courage
etc.Massimo, if you really are from Italy, you have a warped perception of
The USA. Maybe you should come over here and see for yourself, rather than take
the word of some of those who, may or may not be Americans themselves. If you
want to know what the USA is all about, it comes down to one thing pal
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.It's the be all and the end all, it's
the American Way, it's the bottom line, dawg!!!|

over Jerry's record again, I looked into the guys JQ drew with. I was surprised
by Tony Alongi, who had just two career losses and never seemed to go anywhere,
can anyone comment on this guy? He was good enough to draw twice with Jerry, and
draw with George Chuvalo, Yet he seemed to retire with a stack of wins and no
real title chances, why? One of his two losses was to Billy Daniels, who Jerry
wrecked in one round. Each of these guys Jerry drew with have some common
opponents, and Jerry fought some of them as well, Yet Jerry clearly stands out
among them, making these draws curious. I have read that Jerry did not take
these draws very seriously, since they were not losses. Given that Jerry also
had semi-plausible reasons for losses to Machen ( a fluke, laziness) and Ellis (
the bad back thing ) Jerry could argue he was undefeated until Joe Frazier in
1969. He was 26-1-4 for Ellis, and some did voice their suspicion of Jerry
regarding these draws, though it was drowned out by the hoopla of his wins over
Spencer and Patterson. These draws and Jerry's attitude toward them must have
been the subject of some extended conversations with Jerry, to keep him focused
and hungry. I get the feeling this may have been a tough task. The press,
though, seemed to buy into it too. When Jerry was finally decisively beaten, by
Frazier, it was his 38th pro fight. He had three losses and four draws, but many
acted like it was his first loss, and the bubble seemed to burst after that.
It's almost as if the press paid Jerry back for giving him so much hype and
credit early on, for buying into the idea that Jerry hadn't really been beaten
or drawn on, an attitude that Jerry seemed to have himself going into the
Frazier fight. Ellis and Frazier were Jerry's real chances, yet I have to wonder
if this attitude, and all the hoopla, were real barriers for Jerry. His early
rounds with Frazier are epic, but there's almost an unrealism in the idea that
JQ could just run out and slug with one of the all-time sluggers and win, almost
like a movie script. How grounded was Jerry? After Frazier, and his bizarre loss
