to judje if you've never got punched in the face SO HARD,that your hands and
feet go nunb and refuse to obey your normal brain comands.|
|7/25/05 11:48:46 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Kent, instead of being insulting
asking whether I've ever seen a fight live, and also accusing me of hating
Frazier (which is untrue), stop and reflect for a second or two.Any time
I have mentioned Frazier's deteriorating speech, I have always qualified the
observation by saying that it is "sad". Yet when the person wrongly calling
himself Forest Ward celebrated Ali's seriously deteriorating medical condition,
you said nothing. You didn't protest. That suggests hatred, because you have the
habit of picking everyone else up on miniscule errors.Dead Parroters
then attacked Ali personally. He wasn't sincere about his religion, he was bad
for not going to war, blah, blah, blah. I merely replied that Frazier was no
role model either. An alcoholic. Father of many children to many different
wives. Recently charged by police with bashing one of his girlfriends.A
Dead Parroter challenged someone to bring to notice a credible quote showing
that Ali had renounced controversial views spoken in the 1960s, including the
'white men are devils' comment. I did that quoting from a published book (Brutal
Artistry), written by a very credible and widely acclaimed author (Thomas
Hauser. Once again, you said nothing. You knew that Thomas Hauser is highly
respected but you were happy to let an inaccuracy ride, because that inaccuracy
discredited Ali, the man you obviously hate.Next Jimmy says that Ali
clinched a lot against Bonavena. You being the self-proclaimed encyclopia of
boxing, I thought you might come in and balance the issue. Not you. You hate Ali
too much to do that.So I then accurately quoted from Frazier's own book
proving that Frazier clinched much more against Bonavena than Ali did. Frazier
clinched to stop himself being knocked out. It save his career. He admitted it
in his book.You see, when facts are used against Kent, he doesn't argue
them back like a balanced and fair budding journalist would. Instead Kent
becomes a nitpicking proofreader. I wrote 1968 and it should have been 1966. I
wrote years instead of fights. I left out the word before. Kent went hysterical
accusing me of playing with the truth, not researching, blah, blah, blah. Any
typographical error Kent could highlight to deflect focus from compelling facts
he couldn't answer any other way.Along the way Kent fascinated us with
ridiculous arguments of tune ups, tune downs, couldn't fight him because he
liked him too much, Ellis Mach 2 was the meanest guy available, everyone was
ducking Frazier and not the other way around, and on it went on its very silly
way almost hilarious. Hence the tag Dead Parroter came into vogue. It fits
them.Now Kent, you've outdone yourself. George Johnson - Kent has
proclaimed - was "one of the toughest fighters of all time". Really ? Johnson
only won 19 of his 47 career fights. Alongside Johnson, Ellis Mach 2 even looks
like King Kong.Yes, Kent, I've been to fights. Yes, Kent, I've met
fighters, managers, and credible boxing journalists. And yes, Kent, I've even
been in fights personally.The difference between you and me, however, is
that you big note about your involvement and I don't.I again say after
Bonavena knocked Joe down twice, Frazier went into a shell, wrapped himself in
cotton wool, and fought patsies. He fought guys who had already been beaten by
guys he'd already beaten. The quality of opposition went down, not up. He ducked
the elimination tournament when the other seven guys were all prepared to fight
him. QUACK. QUACK. QUACK. |
