Massimo, I used part of your ideas for my questions to the Klitschko brothers.
The transcript should be out tommorow. My name usually isn't on teleconferences
but you will be able to spot my questions as they were the first two
asked.I also asked a third question, I believe it was the last one of
the conference, about stylistic problems the K brothers will have in their
upcoming fights on April 10 and April 24, Wladimir verses Lamont Brewster and
Vitali verses Corrie Sanders, respectively. |

hard to figure the Klitschko Bros.. They seem to have skills and are well
trained and look unbeatable sometimes but then they lose a fight over an injury
or a ko. I'd never bet against them but the big draw of being "undefeated" like
Joe Frasier, M. Ali, and Mike Tyson were during their peak years isn't
there.Mass: I am surprised u didn't have Kent ask a question about their
shoe size??|
|4/1/04 05:10:17 AM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Kent-Thanks for the honour !
Ed-I'm in Florence in these days and very busy, I haven't time
enough to think about shoe sizes !This is a hard time !|
|4/1/04 04:14:57 PM|brenda|ca||meme@heti||||10|I thought you might like to know
that the Senate approved the boxing oversight bill yesterday. I know Jim would
be so happy that it has finally been past, this is the bill he went to congress
with. So thanks Jim for all your work it is finally done something to help
boxers not promoters, managers. Lets just hope your mission to have a home with
doctors also comes true |
|4/2/04 02:45:20 AM|Kent Appel|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Yes,
Brenda, Mr. Jimmy would be very happy with the bill passing the senate. Special
thanks to Senator John McCain of Arizona who has been there from the start
pushing for the improvement of boxing, as well as again to George Otto from
TJQF. I am sure Alex Ramos and his Retired Boxers Foundation also had a hand in
this. Ramos, a former middleweight contender is at the forefront of working to
help the fighters, not just the promoters, as Brenda stated.Jimmy wanted
a home for boxers who get injured, with doctors staffed to look after them. You
never know, it could happen!Not only is Jimmy's spirit pleased, Jerry's
also is smiling down upon us because of the good news.|

Toney is only trash talking when he is on stage, being interviewed, or promoting
a fight.Off stage it seems like a mellow guy and my feeling is a lot of
the talk is for the show, so to speak.I had asked him a question during
a conference about his boxing style if he ever would throw caution completely to
the wind and brawl even more than he does in the future instead of
counterpunching. It was right after the Holyfield fight and he raised his voice
and said to me, "what fight were you watching? I was right in his face the
whole time and then he added, I aint no chicken like Roy Jones who is running
all of the time."I saw him a few weeks later, in person, and he didn't
remember it was me he was yelling at on the phone or he doesn't remember my
name. But whatever the case, he was pleasant to me, joking around with me about
things like shaving my head bald, like him, as my hair was getting pretty
long.|
