intact, respected and full of other potential. Instead, he's starting to look
silly.|

noticeably against Holmes. He was cut against Bob Foster pretty badly. |
|8/17/05 04:03:54 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Let's see if anyone has the answers
to these:1) What was the first million dollar gate fight ?2) Who
was the first fighter to win three world titles in different divisions
?3) What fight had the first woman judge officiating ?You guys
might answer one of the above, but not two or three.|
|8/17/05 04:15:02 PM|Gerry|Cleveland||same||||10|It seems the reason Barrett-
Rahman was such a dud is that the two are such close friends neither wanted to
hurt the other, according to what I've read. Seems a little bizarre that they
got matched at all...The idea of Tyson on a jetski is pretty funny to me,
almost like a cartoon or a Chris Farley movie. Just another classic moment for
the guy, I guess ...Klitschko - Peter sounds like it has the makings of a
decent fight. I guess it's just as plusible that both Klitschkos could lose as
it is that they might both win. It at least puts a little interest back in the
division ...Ali should never have seen Spinks, let alone Holmes. After
Foreman, and the third Frazier fight, he had nothing left to prove, and nothing
in the tank. Again, a mandatory retirement age would have helped him here,
perhaps...Holyfield is now banned in New York State. Boxing bodies may
finally be paying attention. Thanks.|
|8/17/05 04:51:38 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|After his humiliating loss to
McBride, Tyson said he wanted to become a missionary. Imagine being some poor
hungry guy in Zambia needing help and there's Mike standing there smiling at
you. Even if Mike had ten roast turkeys with him, you'd still run for your life.
Tribes getting around with half chewed ears if we send Mike over there. Mike the
Missionary !Perhaps Mike could go into movies, like doing something with
Steve Martin and those vacation flicks. Travelling around with Mike and the
kids. Here's Mike beating up on the motorist who cut him off. There's Mike
biting that guy on the leg for not putting enough fries on his plate. People
would pay to watch it, too. |
|8/17/05 04:58:28 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Gerry: Ali
should have quit after Manilla. If not then, maybe after his last KO win, over
Richard Dunn. After he lost to Spinks, he HAD to come back to beat Spinks.
After that, there was no reason I could think of, other than another pay day,
why he would take the fight against Larry Holmes, himself a great Champion, in
his prime. Then, Trevor Berbick was just another really bad decision. But the
age restriction/mandatory retirement is a slippery slope. Some guys are 33 and
they shouldn't be fighting. Others, like Foreman, competed safely and very
effectively into their 40's. Ask Michael Moorer if Foreman could still fight.
For that matter, ask Evander Holyfield if Larry Holmes and George Foreman could
still fight in their 40's. It's a case-by-case call in my opinion. Bernard
Hopkins is okay to fight and he's aging. |
|8/17/05 05:37:11 PM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|I have recently read on Internet and
on newspapers that Tyson wanna play in movies as a porno-star(erotik movies).
Being a porno-star is slightly different than being a missionary...I don't think
that anyone has ever considered Mother Theresa (as) a porno star... |
|8/17/05 06:15:59 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo - very good point but it
remains to be seen how much Mike would bring to the table ! Iron Mike Does
Dallas doesn't really appeal, though. |
