agree that Jonathan is an intellegent and articulate man but he is also his own
man and ultimately he has to make up his own mind. It is good Max
posted a different view than some of ours.|

the first time.Kent,stop walking the fence! I can tell you Angelo,this is not
the time to try and get his M.O.S. changed to" entertaining the troops with
sporting events." I boxed a little bit against other drill instuctors and Ranger
wannabees as part of my training.He wouldn.t be facing real fighters.He's too
old to start now.Kent,Jonathan just has to listen to people who care about
him,like his family.If he had a fraction of Jerry Quarry's talent,it wouldnt be
enough!|

big,tough man.So stay in the Army!You can even go to college in the Army.You can
do good for yourself,your family,and your country.Instead of being exploited by
a boxing promoter.Who I'm sure would love to get thier hands on another Quarry.|

haven't been walking the fence as I don't think Jonathan should go into
boxing.I was just trying to point out different sides of the issue. If
it was me, I wouldn't do it but it isn't me it is his decision.|

heavyweight scene is somewhat undermined by the rankings system. How can Ray
Austin (who?) be so high in all the ratings when he has a solitary victory over
Owen Beck and has drawn with Larry Donald and Lance Whittaker? Madness. I see
that Kevin McBride is fighting the WBO champ, (who fought and beat Brewster
impressively) but even John Ruiz had names on his win list. Play off the eight
best boxers and have an undisputed champ. (Four champs and next four best
contenders)KlitschkoLyakovichRahmanValuevToney
(fighting for 2 years at heavyweight now and only has a shot Holyfield and
declining Guinn on his win list)Samuel Peter (for excitement only-nothing
approaching a stong contender on his win list)Sultan IbragimovCalvin
BrockI see Jameel McCline and Sinal Sam are fighting each other,
probably in a belt contender match.What are othrs thoughts on other
contenders? Briggs etc?|
|6/7/06 03:58:43 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron||||10|Mark: The division
has had a pronounced and sad decline. I had no idea how good we had it with
Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, Golata---instead, I blasted some of these guys
because they weren't as exciting as Tyson. Before that, I blasted Tyson because
he wasn't as professional or as proven as Holmes. Others (not me) blasted
Holmes because he was no Ali. But yes, starting with Ali, Frazier, Foreman,
Norton---things have slipped. Holmes was a great champion, but aside from
Shavers, the quality of most of his opponents was slightly less than the
previous generation. Tyson wasted himself. Holyfield/Bowe/Lewis were a couple
cuts below Holmes. Now, the current guys are miles below Holyfield and Lewis.
It's amatuer hour in the heavyweight division---a bunch of dunces and big
stiffs. At this point, maybe Marvis Frazier should come out of retirement to
fight Shannon Briggs. |

Dimitrenko and Danny(Daniele) Williams are two of the top contenders in this
moment. I saw Dimitrenko fight a couple of times, he is very young(23) and very
tall (201 cm). He didn't impress me particularly, he has decent power.I saw
Danny Williams only once against Mike Tyson and he didn't impress me. He is big
and fearless, that's for sure. But Vitali kicked his ass.|

that Klitschko, Rahman and Lyakovich, despite their numerous flaws, are good
fighters. However, what we need is the best in the world squaring off against
