from France knows all there is to know about assholes, losing, and not turning
up to fight. France excels at it.I heard recently that an elderly
American tried to pass through customs in France when he misplaced his passport.
The French immigration guy sarcastically said to him, "You can't come in here
without a passport even if you are American." The veteren replied, "Really ?
Last time I came to France I didn't need one."The Frenchie said, again
sarcastically, "I don't think so. Even Americans need passports to enter
France." To which the veteren replied, "Well, last time I was here it was D Day
and I couldn't find a Frenchmen on Omaha Beach to show my freakin' passport
to."America gave France a gift decision in that war, Henry, so should
shut up and take France's usual position ......... HIDING FROM DANGER !|

you provide on shrinkng brain syndrome. My brother was dyagnosed a year ago.
The culprit was hard knocks to the head from boxing. If you can send me any
information on the subject and something on your organization besides boxing
stories. Your foundation seems to help ex-boxers who have suffer from their
injuries. It a pleasure and comfort to see such a foundation. Little is told
about boxing injuries and little is done. Blessings to you and your family. |

article.“Float Like a butterfly, sting like a flea many bums did whip
Muhammad Ali.” Lets review Ali’s record and briefly the career records
of his opponents. Trevor Berbick (50-11-1). Berbick had a decent record
but lost practically every time he stepped up in competition. He was starched in
one round by Bernardo Mercardo before beating Ali. Berbick was also beaten by
less than stellar competition such as S.T. Gordon and Jimmy Thunder, but Ali
could not beat him. Berbick made Ali look slow and lethargic. Where some all
time greats all had their share of journeyman that they faced, they beat them.
Ali lost to a number of journeyman type fighters. At a similar age as Ali in
this fight, Ray Robinson who was Ali’s hero was still beating fighters of this
caliber. At age 39 Robinson lost a highly disputed draw to Gene Fullmer in a
title fight. Ali lacked the greatness to accomplish the same feat. It was a
clear victory over the so called “Greatest.” Berbick retired him. Larry
Holmes (69-6) The best fighter Ali ever faced. What happened? At an age where
Lennox Lewis was beating Vitaly Klitschko (32-1), Ali was completely outclassed
and dominated failing to win a single round while being stopped by a fighter who
could do everything he could do better. Did any heavyweight champion ever look
so worthless in a title fight as Ali did against Holmes? Joe Louis, who had only
4 fights in the previous 8 years, at least won some rounds and landed some
punches against Ezzard Charles and was competitive at a similar age against
Rocky Marciano swelling his eye with his jab and made a fight of it. But Ali,
who weighed only a single pound more for this fight then he did for Foreman a
few years earlier, could not win a single round against Holmes. The NY Times
reported, “In 10 rounds, he (Ali) landed fewer than 10 solid punches.” Ali
simply did not have the ability to deal with a bigger, stronger, superior
technical fighter with a better jab. It should be noted that Holmes also
feasted on a lot of inferior competition. Look at some of the careers of his
title defense opponents; Ossie Ocasio (23-13), Mike Weaver (41-18), Lorenzo
Zanon (27-6-3 ko’d 5 times in 36 fights), Scott LeDoux (33-13-4), Lucien
Rodriguez (39-12-1), and Renaldo Snipes (39-8) nearly knocked Holmes out with
one punch. Unlike Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano who defended against seasoned
experienced veterans Holmes (and Ali too as well shall see) fought mostly green,
inexperienced amateurs that made them look better than they were and sometimes
those kids made them look bad! Holmes defended against such callow opposition as
Tim Witherspoon (15 fights), Leon Spinks (14 fights), Ossie Ocasio (13 fights),
David Bey (14 fights), Bonecrusher Smith (15 fights), Carl Williams (16 fights),
and Marvis Frazier who had only 10 pro fights! How such a fighter could be
