Welcome George Buell ! We have a new friend ! I though" dogging it" meant
"avoiding it"... I wasn't very close to the truth !I think that Sam Langford
deserve a shot to the pound for pound best fighter. If you are 5'6"
talland you beat several times George Godfrey, Joe Jeannette, Sam Mc Vey
etc., you are great ! I'd be curious to watch a Godfrey-Tyson fight !My
impression is the George Godfrey was a terrific fighter ! Apart the fixed
fights, he didn't lose many fights ! Larry Gaines used to say: " I feared just 2
men in the wordl: my father and George Godfrey !".Paul-Ali' said that if
he had trained for all his fights in the same way, his career wouldn't have
lasted so long !|

Bruce Buell who used to (and may still) live in the La Habra, Whittier area? If
by chance you happen to be his relative, he was a friend of my father's,
Victor(Shelly) Appel, who passed away about 15 years ago. If not, you are right
about the strong presence of Mexican fighters, both Americans of Mexican decent
and Mexicans from Mexico, in Southern California. They are still going strong
with fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya and Fernando Vargas, among many others.
Eddie "El Amimal" Lopez of Mexican decent was a decent heavyweight who
was close to a top twenty ranking. He was the first fighter to go the distance
with Gerry Cooney.|

see the films of those great fights again from the Forum. I saw some of them on
tape replay about a month or so after they took place and they were some great
fights. Olivares was one of my favorites fighters. Tury the fury Pineda,
Rodolpho Gonzalez, Raphael Hereara. Hard punchers and in shape every time out.
It is amazing to watch over the years how Mexican boxing has evolved and now we
have some brilliant boxers comming from Mexico like Erik Morales guys who can
box with the best of our guys and who have the punch.|

live in Beverly Hills ! That's legendary ! I hope that you are aware of the
great oppurtunity life is giving you ! What do I mean ? If you go for a brief
walk, you will meetPamela Anderson, Shaquille O' Neal, Clint Eastwood etc.
If you'll meet Shaq today, say him please that Massimo Cini thinks he is the
best center in the wordl... And another thing... Measure his height, please) !
They say he is 7'1" but I can't trust them, because they also said that Andre'
The Midget Rousimoff was 7'5" ( ah! ah!).|

Olivares knocked out Australia's Lionel Rose to win the World Bantamweight
title. Olivares was a great fighter and his nickname was 'Rockabye'. Rose had
earlier won the title from Fighting Harada. Beating Harada made Rose a national
hero over here. |

Rockabye in Australia? Good nickname. Whatever happened to Lionel? I remember
him now. Have there been other aboriginal world champs? Whatever happened to
Evonne Goolagong?Massimo, yes, you get full credit, you're right -- dogging
