Ali-Williams fought in the Astrodome in Nov of 1966. Cosell was right there on
national Tv hyping the fight for his employers, ABC network. He new then how
ill equipped Williams was. Three bullets shots, one still in his kidney. But,
does Cosell tell us this noooo. He tells us what a great fighter Ali is. And
how dangerous Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams. And then 16 years later same place
the Astrodome, Larry Holmes fights Tex Cobb. And Holmes pounds Cobb for 15
rounds. And Mr."Tell like it is," decides he boxing is shameful and degrading
and he won't be involved with it anymore. You mean to tell me that it took
Cosell 16 years to learn how dangerous boxing. No, he was feigning integrity
trying to show how noble and enlightened he was. He was typical of those
sycophantic journalists surrounding Ali who described how beautiful Ali was
pounding othe |

right, it is no game and the fighters are the last to lean that, if they ever do
at all.Going back to the Ali-Williams fight. Howard Cosell rose to fame
and fortune, like many others on Ali's coat tails, and brain cells. I ask, why
did it take Cosell; 16 years almost to the day to realize what a horrible
"sport" boxing is. Ali-Williams fought in the Astrodome in Nov of 1966. Cosell
was right there on national TV hyping the fight for his employers, ABC network.
He knew then how ill equipped Williams was. Three bullets shots, one still in
his kidney. But, does Cosell tell us this noooo. He tells us what a great
fighter Ali is. And how dangerous Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams. And then 16
years later same place the Astrodome, Larry Holmes fights Tex Cobb. And Holmes
pounds Cobb for 15 rounds. And Mr."Tell like it is," decides boxing is too
shameful and degrading and he won't be involved with it anymore. You
mean to tell me that it took Cosell 16 years to learn how dangerous boxing is?
No, he was feigning integrity trying to show how noble and enlightened he was.
He was typical of those sycophantic journalists in the print and TV media
surrounding Ali for all these years, earning fat pay checks; who described how
beautiful and elegant Ali was pounding his opponents into submission. They
could not contol their glee, when a fighter was rendered helpess, and
defenseless. The way they oohed and awwed when Ali was fighting, you would
think it was better than sex. I always marveled at these wonderful enlightened
people. They were always so sophisticated and urbane. I often wondered if they
were "closet" cockfight fans? I will tell you why. You would never see them at
the prelim fights leading up to the main event. God forbid, they find
themselves mingling with blood thirsty commoners, watching two prelim fighter
trying to earn $500 for a trip to the Jersey shore. No, they were too civilized
for that. To them Ali was a beautiful hawk swooping down on ugly moles. Two
cocks killing each other was cruel and inhumane. But watching Ali was sooo
beyond description. Bullcrap the media elites cared more about two chickens,
than they do about humans. If you think I am over stating my case. The next
time you see Muhammad Ali, ask him to float like a butterfly and sting like a
bee, just for 20 seconds.|

the dollar sign was not part of the native language, at least as it has to do
with money. It is simply a symbol, a letter, used to designate a certain sound.
The symbol came about when the language became written. In this case, the sound
is pronounced like an "sh" in the English language. In fact I spelled a word
incorrectly. "chamshoon," should have been spelled "cham$oon." Of course, the
indians from the region that spoke this language in the past would not have
known it was mispelled as it has only recently been written down.It
is very true about nerve centers and pressure points. A relative light punch
