good man, but a hero indeed. He nascose two Jews in his home saving them from
the lagers. I wouldn't have had the courage of doing such a thing. His Mickey
was a Jews guy named Joe Jacobs. When the Nazists ordered him to send Joe Jacobs
away ( I mean licenziarlo, but I don't know the English for that) he refused. I
wouldn't have had the courage of doing such a thing. To thank and honour Massimo
Schmeling for what he did to help the 2 Jews, in Nevada ( it's a state in USA)
every 6 December since 1989 there is the Massimo Schmeling day. SO, MASSIMO
SCHMELING WAS A HERO INDEED. |

Edner Cherry and Ricky Quiles on ESPN. These guys aren't world beaters, but in
the 50's-60's people would still be talking about this fight after watching it
on network T.V with Don Dunphy. In those days Cherry and Quiles would now have
a following for the next time they are televised. Those times are a long time
ago, but they were better times for boxing. |

for the information on Schemeling, I didn't know he had done those things. So
he did what he could and if more other people had done the same then a lot more
people would have survived the brutal regime of Hitler.Fan, you are so
right about how those regular shows kept boxing on the minds of fans. These days
we need to go back to more boxing on free T.V. because even though there are
regular programs on cable, we still have to pay for the service and pay for view
is a joke that makes money for the networks and the promoters, it drives away
the very markets they should be reaching, the general public. I think they
would make even more money if there were not so many pay for view events and
more free T.V. or at least cable.Howard C. a Foolface is a fool with a
face but I really think it is the same thing as a Koo Koo Clock is. Howard, if
you aren't careful, Foolface AKA Koo Koo Clock, will think you are really me.
After all, he (they) always blames me for everything. Imagine that, me telling
myself to go to the dunce corner!|

Saddam with arms, but this was immediately after he took power. At that point
Iran had become our enemy after the hostages drama and it was hoped that Saddam
would provide a counterbalance.No doubt, had we known then what we know
now, we wouldn't have helped Saddam. But at that stage we needed a
counterbalance to the Shia Muslims in Iran, and Saddam, being a Sunni Muslim,
was just that. (Ironically a Shia Muslim government just got elected in Iraq to
match the Shia Muslim tyrants in Iran.) In hindsight, it was wrong to
assist Saddam, but no one knew then of the atrocities ahead.I know this
is a boxing site, but now that the subject came up let me say this. Don't ever
forget the common thread of all this trouble invariably leads back to the
French. The French were in Vietnam before our involvement. They hotfooted it
outa there when things got hot.Remember also that Ayatolah Khomeni (yes,
my spelling is wrong) was exiled in Paris from Iran. He returned to throw out
the Shah and after taking control encouraged the students to take American
hostages.And, finally, don't forget where Pol Pot was exiled during his
exile from Cambodia. Yes, Paris. He was partly educated in Paris, too. When he
returned to Cambodia, we had the Killing Fields. Millions of poor innocents
slaughtered. Okay, I'm sorry, for straying. Back to boxing. Vale

was flown from the Middle East to Paris on the French President's plane to
receive top medical treatment before he died. How many people did that guy blow
up ? That old saying about when 'good men do nothing, evil flourishes'
comes to mind about the Holocaust and also the more recent slaughters of the
Kurds, Rawanda, etc. None of that stuff will completely go away until someone
confronts it completely. |
