Godfather movies,Vito Corleone was not actually his real name.He took that name
from the village he was born in.He did this to escape a vendetta against his
family. I would love to have seen a fight between Rocky Marciano
and Mike Tyson. |

about when the Beatles were in New Jersey for a concert during the mid sixties,
a cop was asked what he thought about them. He said, "Dey sdink, dey the
woist!" Meaning, "They stink, they're the worst" (or the worse he had seen, if
worst isn't real word either).Oh by the way, I have the Eagles rated
number three in the NFL going into the playoffs behind Pittsburg and New
England.Noam, as far as my pedigree goes, I look in the mirror and
sometimes I see a white man and sometimes an Indian. The same with photographs,
I guess depending on the lighting, I look like either in different pictures.
Among my siblings, one brother looks a little more Indian than me and my sister
looks more Indian than him and people speak spanish to her, thinking she is
Mexican. We also have another brother who looks nothing like an Indian,
heredity can be strange. Anyway, back to boxing, my top five heavweights
of all time: Muhammed Ali, Joe Louis, Larry Holmes, George Foreman, Rocky
Marciano; in that order. I will say why in a coming post. |

wondering about the correct pronunciation of the word "yoose" : the double "o"
is like in " blood" or like in "foot " ? You can never be sure about the
correct pronunciation in English, " read" is different from " sweat", who knows
why ...Probably Ali' was the greatest but I'm not sure... Ken Norton
could beat him whenever he wanted to. I have Sonny Liston in my top 5. He
wasn't in good shape when he fought Clay and was over the hill and arrugginito.
Put a young and in top shape Liston against Clay and Clay would have not
shocked the wordl a bit.|

the fights mattered. Really mattered. Nights spent waiting, discussing what
would happen. The sport is in the toilet. Remember Ali, top of the world.
People in the streets before a big fight, talking, listening on the radio.
Nobody will be talking about today in thirty years. The sport will be dead and
buried, along with the memories of what was. Jerry, thanks for the memories|

||||10|Kent.I think Marciano would have beat Ali,Holmes and Foreman.He may have
gotten stopped by Louis.Louis could punch and REALLY punch.Holmes and Ali
probably wouldn't have hurt Rocky unless he was cut.Foreman could punch but
would have gotten hit too often too early,easy to hit like Liston.Whatcha think
about that??|
|1/3/05 11:46:46 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Max, I can see
Louis beating Marciano to the punch and taking a tough decision over Rocky. At
his best, Louis was deadly accurate with his quick powerful combinations.
I can also see Ali and Holmes outpointing Rocky by outlanding him and
keeping him outside on the end of the jab enough to pile up the points with
quick combos, but also far from easy.Holmes and Ali had similar styles
and it depends on what the judges liked, Rocky's pressing the action and strong
body attack and landing the harder punches or Ali or Holmes outlanding Rocky in
more of the rounds.I could see Foreman getting Rocky out of there early
like he did to Frazier but if Rocky hurt him first or if Rocky lasted past the
early onslaught, then Big George would likely be in a lot of trouble. One thing
for sure, Rocky would never quit and George would have to get to him first and
make sure he didn't let him off of the hook if Rocky was hurt
early.Can't see many more fighters having a chance at beating Rocky,
except for maybe Lennox Lewis, that is if Lewis could, like Ali and Holmes keep
outside of Rocky's power, but I see Rocky finding a way to land that big right
hand and if McCall and Rahman could knock out Lewis with right hands, then Rocky
