was not involved in sexual relations with men quite the opposite a major playboy
with the women. One more thing to bring up. I love this site but i would
appreciate it if we would not speak of Emile Griffith's sexual preferance what
ever that may be. He is a friend of mine and a very nice person who brought
dignity to a sport that catches many black eyes. |

Sean. It is wrong for anyone to discuss those things on an open site like this,
especially when it involves good men, and moreso again when the writer produces
not one shred of evidence. All this malicious gossiper can say is that she
"heard" it on some site she is unable to identify. The damage is magnified when
the (cowardly) author is anonymous and can't be traced. Yet that is precisely
what this small minded woman relishes. First it was Emile Griffith she accused
of being gay, and now it is Oscar Bonavena. And the evidence ? None ! Not one
iota. Zilch. She is a repressed lesbian trying to come to terms with her own
sexuality by accusing others of being just like her. It makes her feel better by
pulling others down to her level. If this wasn't the case then why has she
twice, without any prompting from anyone else, raised the subject of someone
else's sexuality. Why is that so important to her ? No one else mentioned it and
the subject came right out of left field. Think about it. Also, I never wrote
that she is a "literary professor at Northwestern". In fact, she described
herself on another site as a 'literary professor at Northwestern'. Her words;
not mine. Do a google check on her name. Mark my words, ladies and gentlemen,
this woman is big trouble. She thinks it amusing and fun to slander decent
people like Emile Griffith. She has too tiny a character to admit the error and
apologize for it. The woman just moves on to attacking someone else and on this
occasion it is the dead Oscar Bonavena. Who's next ? I will not post here again
(her posts make me puke), but those who continue to visit must call the witch of
slander to account, and please don't allow her to demean this tremendous site by
using it to defame decent men like Emile Griffith. Emile - rest assured that
none of us believe what the witch writes. You were a great champion.|

Italian heavyweight who fought between 1919 and 1934. He was Italian and
European heavyweight champion. He fought the heavy-hitter Fred Fulton ( a draw
), Luis Firpo ( L KOT 14) Uzcudun ( L pts 15), Gene Tunney ( he was ahead after
6 rounds but was stopped in the seventh) and lasted all the fight against the
terrible George Godfrey. Many boxing experts thinkhe was still better than
Carnera ( and this is surely a prove of greatness !) ! He was less Shaq than
Carnera (only 6' 1" for about 190 lbs).Tonight on ESPN Classic they' ll
talk about Bonavena, Frazier and Foreman. All I know about Bonavena as a person
is that Joe Frazier thought he was a racist but, of course, I have no idea if
this is true or not. Probably they' ll show some of their fights ( I hope
Frazier-Bonavena 1 and Frazier-Bonavena 2, since I have already seen Foreman-
Frazier 1,2 several times and Foreman-Bonavena never happened). A few days ago I
saw Ali'-Lyle on ESPN. Ali' fought like a crazy guy in that fight. He just
clowned in rounds 1-3-4-10and danced almost without scoring in rounds 5 and
6 ( even rounds). He fought well rounds 7-8 and of course 11, where he literally
kicked Lyle' s ass ! But Lyle never hit Ali' with dangerous shotsand Cassius
looked always in control of the fight. My impression is that he didn' t train
for that fight. Is it true ?|
