failed dismally.Steve - actually, if you read and digest the statistics
I posted, you will find them insightful and extremely relevant. It demonstrates
the greatest jaw that ever boxed and how that boast is proved as empirical
facts. If you want to learn nothing, then Fan's your man. He has the words but
no substance and no answers. If you want to discuss boxing looking at different
angles, and supported by facts, then read me and some of the others
here.By the way, the statistics I posted were about stamina, longevity,
and durability. I didn't mention the 'd'word, but if you drew from those
statistics that Ali fought monsters who Frazier didn't, you can't blame me.
Someone hit me in the head with an axe. The Dead Parroters stopped us
using the 'd' word. They took it out of boxing's dictionary. Now they want to
ban statistics out as well !!!!! :) |

quote,"It's hell being black in America".you know what?It was hell being a
second generation Irishman,or Italian,who got drafted,or enlisted,against thier
immigrant parents wishs, and went to Vietnam.|

for some reason I thought Jimmy D brought up the toughness question. I still
don't know who is toughest for that period although Machen would be more likely
to listed in the 1955 to 65 list. Anybody who can hang tough like he did verses
Liston has to have been plenty tough.Funny, the editor from Eastside
asked for a new article this week as it has been a slow week for boxing and I
was going to do one on the Frazier subject, like I said. But I am sick of the
subject at the moment.What do you want to bet that Noam won't let go of
it even for a moment?|

what you do best!I'd like to read it! Stop being so lazy and worried about other
poeples opinions.Your pieces on that site have been professional and well
balenced.|

journalism major.He keeps writing pieces,then he reads them the next day,and

DONT TRY.|
|8/1/05 11:12:08 PM|steve |NJ||NA||||10|Noam,your a very interesting poster.I
apoligize for my horrible spelling and grammer.I'm obviously not as well
educated as you,and ah,duh,I can barely type.Please don't start with the
statistics.Post about Quarry.I get the feeling your not as old as me.So have you
ever seen any of his fights on film?Now that's exciting!Give me your opinion on
Quarry vs Thad Spencer.|
|8/1/05 11:21:09 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Okay, I get the message. You guys
don't like Ali because, brashly, nearly half a century ago, he uttered the
words, "All whitemen are devils". Let's look at your resentment by applying the
most used and accurate trueism of all time: ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN
WORDS.To do so, we'll pretend that Ali never recanted the 'devil'
comment in 1984, as published in the widely acclaimed book Brutal Artistry. And
I'll have to forget that I saw and heard Ali tell Sir David Frost in a recent
interview that he was wrong in making the 'devil' comment.So let's look
at Ali's ACTIONS. Has anyone EVER accused Ali of refusing to sign an autograph
for a white person ? No, never.In 1974 Ali was named 'Fighter of the
Year' by the Ring magazine, and 'Sportsman of the Year' by Sports Illustrated.
These awards aren't given to racists.Ali travelled to Beirut in 1985 and
negotiated the freedom of four American hostages. White guys among
them.In November 1990 Ali travelled to Iraq and negotiated the release
of 15 American hostages, mostly whites. He was there the same month his father
died. Ali outstayed the medication he had for his Parkinsons sickness and placed
his own health at risk by not taking it when he stayed overseas negotiating the
releases.Ali helps blacks, too. When Frazier's close friend Ken Norton
