down Ali' in the seventh round of their second fight. I think he was one or two
punches away from achieving that goal.|
|4/2/05 04:57:53 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo, now you've caught me out. I
meant he won 30 out of 31, of course, and I didn't read Norton's record properly
when I said there was no rematch with Garcia. I must pay more attention and
today I wear the dunce's hat.I still say that Norton's opponents in his
first 31 fights were generally very substandard. Steve, I agree with
what you are saying. Did you hear about the guy who swallowed the snooker ball ?
When he went to the crowded hospital the doctor told him to go wait on the end
of the cue.Anyone know why Norton never fought Machen, London,
Patterson, Spencer, Ellis, Mathis, Frazier, Chuvalo, Mac Foster, and all those
other 'name' guys that Jerry fought but three months younger Norton didn't
?Massimo, are you thinking of applying for a new job ? Do you have a
higher calling ?|

have no religious believes and I think a good Pope should have religious
belives. Religion is something totally out of my mentality. I think to be a very
good guy, but dedicating (or to dedicate) all the life to something that (or
which) doesn't even exist, I don't think is a good idea. I prefer to dedicate
myself to other things. I had all the respect in the wordl for the Pope (even if
I didn't always agree with him) and I am very sorry for what happened to him,
but in my book he was just another human being, like me, you, Shaquille
O'Neal,or Christ. I don't mean to be disrespectul with the believers, I am not
Massimo "the truth" Cini, I am only (or just) Massimo "Who" Cini.|
|4/2/05 07:09:27 PM|angelo|dc||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Massimo---the nice thing
about this Pope was that he agreed with you---he thought he was just another
human being and that showed through in the places he visited and the people he
stood up for. I'm Catholic---not the most religious guy in the world---try to
do the right thing---and didn't always agree with this Pope either. But he
really was an amazing man who will be missed.By the way, in his prime, he
could have taken Norton easily!|
|4/2/05 07:55:10 PM|Fan|USA||n/a||||10| And, had he written about it, he would
no doubt have had kind words for the vanquished Norton. Has any one noticed the
late, great Holy Father's resemblance to another Son of Poland, Tony Zale? They
were both as tough as nails.|

have to be religious to admire someone like the late Pope. I've never been a
believer, but I think this guy was the genuine thing when it came to putting
others above his own welfare. It's a sad time. If all religious leaders had this
guy's beliefs, then the world wouldn't be in the state it is currently
in.Massimo, I think you are probably the best student of boxing on this
site. While guys like Fan actually witnessed personally some of the greats
events, you've studied that era probably more than the rest of us.As
such, I'd like to know Massimo's top 10 heavyweights of all time. And then I
want to know your best fighter of any weight division. |
|4/3/05 08:04:32 AM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Howard C.Thanks for the kind
words. I know something about boxing because I like this sport very much, but
there is people on this site who (or that) knows much more about boxing than me
( Jimmy Dorsey, both fans, Kent etc.).I think the best fighter pound for
pound was Sugar Ray Robinson. I haven't seen much of him, but what I saw was
really impressive. He had all the weapons: he was powerful, could dance like
Sugar Ray (oh what a fool, he was Sugar Ray), could take a punch, he could hit
you with a left hook while he was going backwards etc. I think he was a much
better overall fighter than Muhammad Ali'. But people like Bob Foster and
Archie Moore are pretty close. This is my all time top ten heavyweights list
