that we know and respect today has bases rooted in past knowledge, even if it
was only yesterday. Most progress is a tweaking of something we already know.
However, when something out of the box and ground breaking happens, it's
invariably the result of someone who goes against the grain with something
completely different, or with something that expands the essence of something
thought to be a static fact. It's a mistake to separate science and religion,
simply because they don't conveniently explain or reinforce each other. They're
~both~ part of the larger overlay of the Great Mystery, and have their own jobs
to do. One doesn't, or shouldn't, negate the other, when either are approached
properly. In that sense, the Divine ~was~ responsible for the creation of the
universe.Say, re boxing, who do you all think was the most durable
fighter? I'd probably have to consider a heavyweight, since they're subjected to
the worst abuse, and for this honor, I think I'd have to say George Chuvalo. Not
even off his feet, let alone KOd for ten, in any fight. Of course, there's the
case of Joe Grim too. If I'm not mistaken, he never won a fight, but was so
indestructible, people came to see his fights just to see if "this was the
night" he'd be knocked out. A case can be made for the "opponent" being more
durable than the legitimate contender or champion. They get pounded on by the
worst and the best, without the skills to do much more than to just swing with
it, like the heavy bag.|

was the toughest fighter ever, even if, I think, Foreman would have knocked out
him if the referee didn't have stopped ( and I'm glad he did) the fight. But
Toney is very durable too. He was never stopped in his long career. I'd be very
corious to see Toney against Tyson. Tyson doesn't seem very focused in boxing.
Do you think Tyson's power would stop Toney ?PS: the Universe is
complex over any human immagination...The best computer in the wordl can't
emulate a fly's brain. But it's really amazing how many things Science has
discovered in relatively so little time !!!!!!|

Yes, I think Foreman would indeed have knocked out Chuvalo for real, if
the TKO hadn't been ruled first. Before one of his fights, the Chicago Tribune
had a big boxing glove on a page. "Want to know how hard George Foreman hits?"
it said. "Tape this glove up on a wall, stand ten feet away, and run into it
face first!" They couldn't do that today for legal reasons - some jackass would
try it, then sue the paper.Say, I found out something I didn't know -
Toney played the Frazier part in the movie "Ali." I didn't like that movie that
much. It was OK, I guess, but I don't really like Will Smith, and the movie was
more about questionable arguments for Ali's sainthood than it was about his
brilliant boxing career. The Frazier part of the sage was treated as if Joe was
just another bum Muhammad got easily past on his journey to save the
world.You're right about the fly's brain, and many more wondrous things
in nature that we have not a clue about. "We" like to congratulate ourselves for
our scientific status, forgetting that it's only a comparative state to what
wasn't before, rather than to what is still out there to understand.In a
hundred years, little kids will hold as common knowledge things with which our
greatest scientists today are struggling.|
|11/9/03 08:07:55 PM|Massimo|Rome||5||||10|RS-Is it true that Frazier
gave Ali' some money during his layout ? If this is the case, they weregood
friends at the time.In the " Ali' " movie I didn't like the way Frazier-Ali'
1 and Ali'-Foreman are rappresented. In both it seems that Frazier and Foreman
had completely dominated the fight and this is not true... |
