that replaces eating, or maybe the cigarettes kill their taste buds and they
don't enjoy food---but anyway, women smokers I've talked to told me they gain
weight when they quit. My wife (who is thin) is not a smoker, thankfully.
Neither am I. We hope to grow old together. Of course, everyone goes somehow,
so maybe I'll get hit by a bus or maybe James "Quick" Tillis will KO me in a
bar---but I figure stay away from smoking and at least I reduce my lung cancer
chances! |

exercise program, and try watching you diet it is very difficult to lose weight
if you just do the one and not the other.Noam, regarding your drinking
to much beer. You will never become healthy if you drink too much beer. I saw a
program about Alcoholics Annonymous on TV recently. They have great success with
people who drink too much. You might want to check it out. You have nothing to
lose except pounds. Good luck.|
|10/14/05 05:30:27 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo - most boxers and trainers
are honest, and referees, too. But I don't trust managers and promoters. These
guys take advantage of the young, naive fighters. I don't trust judges either.
There are too frequent irregularities with judges' scorecards. They are either
massively incompetent or corrupt. Kent - I don't smoke. My father got
emphysema from smoking and that is a very unpleasant disease. Regards my weight,
I just need to lose a few pounds, not too much. I enjoy swimming laps.
Also, Kent, a lot of diseases and health problems are in the genes. Eye
afflictions like macular degeneration are passed from generation to generation.
Same with heart problems, etc. You can pre-empt things with an unhealthy
lifestyle, or delay the onset with a healthy lifestyle. However, morgues are
filled with skinny dead guys who ran marathons every day and didn't drink,
smoke, or take drugs. "There lies the healthiest, fittest man in Orange County,"
is something morgue assistants would often say. Pete - my problem is I
like food too much. I don't drink enough beer to be an alcoholic. But the
problem with beer is that people usually have unhealthy food when drinking. I
like healthy food, but too much of it. Exercising make me hungry, too, as does
looking at food on television, or watching someone else eating, or going
shopping, or ..... you've got the idea. |

that whole Joe Frazier ducking debate, and I think you guys need to get off of
Ali's nuts when talking about the Fight Of The Century. Ali was as
prepared for that fight as he could ever have been. His hand speed was
excellent, and he gained a lot of power while exiled. He had only lost a little
bit of speed, but in my opinion, gained more than he lost. The problem
wasn't that he was "rusty", the problem was that he had a prime Joe Frazier in
front of him. And the fight wasn't even that close. Ali lands punches, but
misses quite a bit, while Frazier lands hard shots on a regular basis. It didn't
even look like Ali ever hurt Frazier once, while Frazier battered Ali all over
the ring on two occasions.I rank Ali as number one all time, but you
guys really need to stop being nuthuggers.|

don't think the guys here have been too pro Ali in regards to Frazier/Ali one.
So no one really qualifies too much of being, as you say, a nuthugger.I
do think some of the guys said he was a little rusty after only having two
fights prior to facing Frazier after a three and one half year absence from the
ring and that he missed his absolute prime, but he still had a lot of excellent
skills left.I think the one thing we agreed on was Frazier clearly won
their first fight, his crowning achievement.Now how do you feel about
Frazier as far as avoiding fighters. I don't think he did of course, but what
do you have to say about it?WOW! THE DEBATE WILL NEVER END!|
