Being conned almost always involves deception or shadowy truth, and even
in cases where it may not, it will still include great amounts of manipulation
to get someone to do something they probably wouldn't do if such coercion were
absent. In his prime, Quarry with the flu could have taken a palooka like
Cramner. His emotions may have taken him for the joy ride we've all been on with
them, or if he thought logically, he may have thought he could do it with his
mind, his experience and knowledge. Unfortunately, by that time, he had mostly
turned into an ordinary man again, and his body could no longer cash checks his
mind wrote.Is boxing a business or an emotional sport? Both, though the
young men involved play on both sides of the fence. The big 3-1/2 (Norton being
the 1/2) in the 70s felt the same fire from each other that the contenders did
from them. Styles, emotion, business, all swirls of paper in a high, violent
wind where anything could happen. Remember the scene at the end of the football
movie, "North Dallas Forty," when the frustrated John Matuszak is having the
tantrum in the locker room? To the coach: "Everytime I call it a sport, you say
it's a business, and everytime I call it a business, you say it's a sport!" In
his other choice words, he pretty much sums up the creatures who run all sports.
What to do?|

classic topics here. Yes, George has been very respectful of Jerry historically
but I would not call that fear. Fighting Quarry would be a risk for Foreman,
though he would likely win. I've always said Jerry would have had a good chance
versus Big George, Foreman himself supports this. I think Frazier may have been
referring to the toughness of his life and the advantages he thinks he might
have had with a better education. I hear he is going through real estate
litigation now as some people have assumed Joe's ignorance and, allegedly, are
trying to swindle him in a development deal. Some good comments comparing Joe's
record versus George's, again, I've always had Frazier ahead of Foreman. He beat
better guys and was a better champ, even though George totally had his number.
Also, I give George credit for not including himself in the all-time Top Ten, he
definitely isn't. George may overrate Lewis, among his many loopy comments, but
Lewis is definitely Top 20 material. Massimo is correct about IQ tests in that
they cannot measure creativity, Thomas Edison was considered very impaired in
his youth, then became the great inventor we know him for, by virtue of his
creativity. Still, IQ tests provide a good sample of knowledge in academic
subjects or in conceptual intelligence, which is a valid way to determine
someone's intelligence in a general sense, in my opinion.|

heard Joe Mesi edged Monte Barrett recently, did anyone see this? Another fight
in Joe's Buffalo backyard, probably. The Klitschkos also have matches coming up
I think. Where's the division going, opinions? I haven't heard anything new on
Lewis or Tyson lately.|
