only.Nice thing about Holmes. He admitted he loved Ali and was sorry he
had to beat him. Shavers loved Ali. So did Norton and Foreman and all the
others. The only one who hates Ali is Frasier. That tells me something. And
notice how none of them ever speak of having the same affection for Frasier ?
I've noticed.Also, notice how Holmes and Shavers and Norton fought Ali
even though they had great affection for him. Business is business. To some. To
say otherwise is clutching at straws, looking for excuses. Like Joe has. For
Shavers, Lyle, Norton and the others.The Ali v Shavers fight confirmed
Ali's jaw as the greatest ever. Early on Shavers hit Ali with the best right
hand you'll ever see. It shook me out of my seat. Ali withstood it. Fooled
Shavers that he wasn't really hurt. Had that punch hit Frasier, goodnight,
lights out, see you tomorrow scamboogah.A friend of mine who's been
going to fights for over 60 years is critical of Joe. He says while Joe was over
cautious about who HE fought, he threw caution to the wind when tossing poor
young Marvis in there against Tyson. What was good for Frasier senior didn't
apply to Frasier junior when matchmaking. Hindsight gives us all 20/20 vision, I
suppose. |

wouldn't bother responding to Kent. He's a good guy gone silly. Wait until he
comes out of whatever mood he's in this time.Noam: good post. Holmes had
one of the best educations in boxing. When he was 21 or 22 he trained with
Frasier and this was in the lead-up to the first fight with Ali. Frasier used to
beat-up on his young training partners and Holmes got a busted rib and
left.Holmes ended up being a longterm training partner of Ali and this
is when the polish was applied. Holmes actually travelled to Zaire to spar with
Ali for the Foreman fight but got home sick and left. He continued as a training
partner for a while longer but, worried that he would be stereotyped, and
convinced he couldn't learn any more from 'The Greatest', Holmes left to go it
alone. And what a stupendous career he carved ! 48 successive wins. 20
successful title defenses. Holmes had the jab, stamina, mental
toughness, and a wonderful robust jaw, to beat Frasier. Quite easily. No doubt
in my mind about that and your statistics Noam bear that out. Holmes was
probably the second most intelligent in boxing history. Behind Muhammad

the CAT scan exam, here is an attempt to explain it. That medical technique
consists of taking a black and white xray/picture of an object. In applying
this definition to the examination of a person's brain, the

looks similar to a butterfly, and which surrounds its central cortex. When the
