Evan B is serious, Steve. He is just testing to see what sort of reaction he
gets. But poor Massimo. Everytime someone gets testy, Koo Koo gives it to him. I
find Evan's posts entertaining and I hope he stays. You keep posting too Steve.
Ever been to Washington Square and the Silver Bullet Bar in Bangkok ? |

I've just started reading a book on Joe Louis and it relates how his first
professional trainer - a nasty little man named Jack Blackburn - doubted that
the white establishment would give him the opportunity to win the title because
of the legacy left by Jack Johnson. It says that Louis and his managers
"carefully constructed a well-behaved" public image, by modestly downplaying his
victories, complimenting his white opponents, marrying a "nice, black girl",
etc. Even then, Louis was warned that he must make "his right fist the referee"
if he wanted to win the title. It's shaping up to be a good book. Anyway, you've
been on this site long enough to know that Koo Koo is only joking, haven't you ?

I'm not angrywith KooKoo at all. I consider him a friend and I hope he
consider me the same way ! I consider everyone on here a friend ! I'm on here to
spend (a good time, relax, laugh, talk about boxing and life in general and
improve my English. RS gave me some free English lessons on here. No other
expensive English teacher in Italy would have taught me things like ain't and
yo, simply because they are not known in Rome.We Italians are all dumb, I'm
smart to be ( or to being, or for being, or something else ) an Italian ! We
have never had a painter, a sculptor, a poet, a novel writer or a
scientist...All we can do is pizza, spaghetti and mafia.Evan
B.We all need you, you' re cool ! Don't go away. We have verbal brawls in
this site every day ! Ti cidevi abituare ! " Accustom " is the English
traslation of "abituare", isn't it Evan ? I don'thave a dictionary to
control in this moment. Youhave to accustom yourself to these verbal
brawlsif you want to survive on this site ! Steve surelydidn't want to
offend you !Paul-I knew that Louis used to follow a long
list ofrules. He was a great champion, his combinationswere the best in
boxing history, even if I feelthat his first fight against Conn ruined a
little his immagine. |

Italian and something ?I challenge all the Italian English teachers to
teach me that, for God's sake !|

AM|Roadscholarette|Chicago||roadscholarette@hotmail.com||||10|Massimo -I
don't know offhand what "ITJ" means. Thinking along the lines of IMO for "in my
opinion," I started thinking "in the," but the J stumped me. I'll let you know
if I discover the answer.I've known a lot of Italians, and think your
language is beautiful to listen to. I don't speak Italian is like Spanish - a
lot of the words have enough similarity to English (some English words have
Latin roots) that you can figure them out.One of my husband's buddies is
Italian, and they argue about everything. This guy will laugh and say "one of
the boys might be coming around to see you," and my husband replies that if that
ever happens, he (buddy) knows what we Irish like to do to cars! :-)|

JQ and George Foreman once sparred in the gym? Does anyone know the details:
where, when, etc?|
|12/10/03 11:52:53 AM|kookoo|ny||kookooclock000@yahoo.com||||10|YES, I CAN
ANSWER THIS ONE, FOREMAN WAS GETTING READY FOR THE OLYMPICS, JERRY WAS GETTING
READY TO FIGHT ELLIS WHEN THEY SPARRED, JERRY DISLOCATED FOREMANS JAW, BUT IN
ALL FAIRNESS TO FOREMAN HE WAS ONLY 20 YRS OLD, JERRY HAD MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE
