maybe your are not the Muffinman, Looney Tune, or even the Koo Koo Clock but I
think whoever it is, is one person.Come on Koo Koo, fess up!It
is too crowded in the dunce corner and besides there is only one hat.|

but Gerry's left dunce's corner. He's moved to Canada. You can wear the hat that
fitted him so well. |

he thought he could whip mentally. Foreman, Frazier, Liston were real threats
and Ali knew he would have to try to gain any advantage. Foreman and Liston
were half whipped before they even got in the ring. Frazier shrugged it off
better and fought his fight. The one guy Ali didn't even try to talk to was Ken
Norton. During the fights Ali didn't say a word to Norton knowing it wouldn't
do any good. Before the Norton fights Ali was also pretty quiet. Ali didn't
just talk to talk, he talked to gain an edge. |

Schultz is in the legend of this site, just like Paul, RS and many others.
Without him I wouldn't even know what Cleveland is, as the only Clevaland I knew
was Cleveland Williams.Thank you guys, we are not going to forget you
!Good luck, friends ! The new guys are holding their owns, though.|
|1/29/05 11:00:03 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca ||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Ali also
used tactics like wobbeling at the knees, pretending to be hurt in a mocking
manner after getting hit with a good punch, to get in a fighter's head. He did
this in the second round against Jerry Quarry in their second fight and it
seemed, among other things such as Jerry worrying about his brother Mike's
condition after Mike was knocked out by Bob Foster in a preceeding bout, to take
the fire out of Jerry.Jerry had been aggresively pursuing Ali for almost
two rounds and although Ali had landed enough jabs and combinations to win the
rounds on the scorecards, Jerry was very much in the fight until he landed a
good left hook/right hand combination to the head of Ali. Ali, with a scornful
look on his face, wobbled at the knees in a mocking fashion as if to say, "is
that all you got, my grandmother can hit harder than that!" Jerry from that
point on until late in the six round when he rallied fighting back on instinct
when Ali stepped up the action to try to take Jerry out of there, plodded after
Ali throwing often only one ineffective punch at a time on the way to Ali
stopping Jerry early in the seventh round. |
|1/29/05 11:07:15 AM|Kent|same||same||||10|Oh by the way, Howard the real
Muffinman insisted on wearing the dunce hat in the dunce corner. I didn't
recognize him but I will have to take his word that he is the
Muffinman.I do hope Gerry S. comes back. No big deal that some of the
guys don't agree with him about certain things.|

politics, I am more for Alex P. than for Steven and Elise. But still Gerry was a
friend and did know something about boxing and about Wilt Chamberlain; so I'm
sorry he ain't on this site anymore.|
|1/29/05 03:56:05 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Ali sometimes pretended to be hurt
when he wasn't so that when he was hurt and wobbling the opponent would be
tricked into thinking he was laying a trap. It was smart and
innovative.With the trash talk, Ali used it for two purposes; firstly,
mostly early in his career, he used it to promote the fights. But the other
reason, as Fan says, was to infuriate opponents into making mistakes. However,
he only used it against fighters it would work on.Most of what Ali said
about opponents was stock phrases and insults. Some of the stuff was childish
(for example, hitting the toy gorilla at the press conference before he fought
Frazier in Manilla).Ali also used stock phrases when interviewed by the
