you'be kept buying his books. Not once. Not twice. but THREE times. If I
don't like an author after the first book, I don't bother buying his books
again. I'd venture that everyone bar you Fan are the same.What was it
that Lincoln said ? You can fool some of the people some of the time, some of
the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the
time. Fan's trying to prove Abe wrong. |

mention Sonny Banks knocking down Ali. Did you know the poor fellow died after
a bout with Leotis Martin? I think Banks was 24 or so. Leotis was the fighter
that lost to Jimmy Ellis in the elimination tourney in late 1960's. Martin also
knocked out Sonny Liston for several minutes in a live TV bout back then too. I
think Martin had to retire because of detached retina shortly later.P S
the knocked downs of Ali by Banks and Cooper weren't the same...The Banks knock
down was a flash knock down, the Knock down by Cooper was a real damageing shot
and Ali didnt know where he was even when he was sitting on his stool for
awhile.|

the ring at 24 after a war with Leotis Martin; one of the many tragedies in the
ring. Rino Tommasi, the Italian Howard Cossell thinks that "it's true that many
people dies for boxing, but boxing saves even a bigger number of persons from
the streets". I don't know if this is true, it's a difficult issue, but maybe
it's worth a riflessione.|

get older I'm getting crankier, and as my hiatus hernia plays up more, I get
crankier still more, and one of the symptoms of the medication I take when my
hiatus hernia plays up makes me even MORE crankier. You would be safe in
assuming that my hiatus hernia was playing up immediately before the post that
seems to have attracted your attention.Massimo: all of Ali's knockdowns
were flash knockdowns. He got up quickly and recovered quickly (with the
exception of the Cooper one). And think about this....I think I'm right in
saying that Ali never got knocked down again after the one against Frasier in
fight one 1971. That's right, he fought Frasier twice more, Foreman, Norton x 3,
Shavers, Lyle, Holmes, Berbick and many more, and none of them ever knocked him
down. Some of you guys mightn't like him, but guess what. His jaw was the best
of all time. He had one helluva jaw.Frasier's knockdowns came in
bunches. He didn't recover quickly.|

realized that so far, but maybe Enrico Cooper is the hardest puncher in
heavyweight history! But in reality I think that Clay's jaw was for some reason
not as good as Ali's joe.|

|7/31/05 05:10:13 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Howard and Massimo - I have just been
rereading Thomas Hauser's book (Muhamad Ali - his Life and Times). In it Ali
says that the young Muhammad who beat Folley and Williams would have beaten the
older Ali who came back after being stripped of the title.Angelo Dundee
agreed with Ali and even went further and said that Ali was never allowed to
peak in his ability. Dundee believes that Ali was robbed of that chance because
