certainly only scratching the surface, possibly even barking up the wrong tree
altogether, in terms of the essence of things and how they work, just as some of
the incomplete and/or ludicrous beliefs of other times.BTW, when you say
"Yo!" to someone, you're trying to get their attention, or to say hi to
them.Speaking of boxing, it's interesting to note that comparing boxers
of today to those of the 70s was like comparing Ali, Frazier, et al, with boxers
in the WW2 age. It's too bad that modern fans so often have no perspective, and
say that "Tyson woulda taken everyone, all time." They'd have been the same
who'd have said that for any current champion, no matter when they lived. I
don't believe Tyson could have cracked the elite three circle of the 70s, or if
he had, he'd have had to have caught Ali on one of his bad nights when he looked
lousy, or gotten very lucky inside with Foreman or in the first round with
Frazier. IMO, anyway.|

Roy Jones, Jr. Boxing is mostly a contest of hunger and will, when the opponents
are a reasonable match. I think Tarver may be hungry enough and Jones may have
crossed that invisible line between his prime and his decline, which is often
very steep and quick even in great fighters. His arrogance has hurt him. I think
we'll see a middle or late round KO by Tarver or a decision. For my
money, Massimo is the kindest, most admirable and friendly person in this site.
He doesn't seem to be bothered by the cheap insults because they don't really
apply to him. Roadscholarette, new physics is now 100 years old and
traces its developments partly from other thinkers from as long as 4,000 years
ago. You may be right that its discoveries and current views are still in early
stages, but probably not. I am not much interested in science itself and dislike
the common misuse of the Big Bang Theory to imply a refutation and discarding of
faith-oriented creation stories. Even if the Big Bang Theory or something
similar could be proven to the satisfaction of all, that would still not explain
(or eliminate) God's role in it. To argue or consider a matter of faith in a
context of Western reason is to confuse apples and oranges. It would be like
evaluating a boxing match by the rules of volleyball. I'm surprised some
of you consider Ali the best pound-for-pound of all time. Maybe you're thinking
of his supreme mastery of the head game, and concluding he could have used it to
defeat anyone. That may well be true. Anyway, I'd choose either of the two Sugar
Rays as greatest pound for pound. |

Parriner. You are so right, Massimo does not deserve this treatment. I don't
deserve it either but I can take it and I would rather have them attacking me
than him as am I a journalist of sorts and I am used to people making comments,
good and bad.Good points as to why you think Tarver is going to beat
Jones. I don't agree as I think Jones has a few more good fights left in him
but in this game of boxing, you never know.|

newcomer John Parriner sure was right about the Jones/Tarver fight. I didn't
see the fight but according to the press reports I have seen, Tarver was robbed
of a win by the judges. |
