Perculator I thought everybody knew who he was . Hy Litts brother in law or
something wasn't he Steve. This tournemant sounds good I am looking
forward to it. 64 gets everyone that was decent in the last 50 years which will
make for some good matchups. There are some very sharp and outstanding
charachters on this site so this tournemant will be interesting. |

maybe 48? Would that work? I guess the problem is that you'd end up with 3
finalists instead of 4---we could always add someone back in as a wildcard. But
I'd vote for 64 over 32, just for the fun of more matchups. |
|6/1/04 07:47:47 PM|G-Man|over there||over here||||10|A tournament sounds great
and would keep the topic on boxing and not depressing and divisive topics I wish
we'd never touched. 64 fighters would be great. Reading the thoughts of other
posters on each fighter will certainly broaden knowledge of them. It'll also be
fun researching information on each before posting an informed prediction. Are
there any rules, for example are the fights over 15 or 12 rounds. With guys like
Marciano, that would matter. My guess would be 15 rounds. Gerry - I was too
harsh in my last post and I apologize. Your comment was a little ambiguous and
perhaps I misinterpreted it. I thought you were giving Steve a kick and I didn't
like it. I'll take ten deep breaths before responding in future. Once again, I
apologize. |

Capital||jgschultz11@aol.com||||10|G-Man, no prob. I've never been against
anyone having their say, quite the opposite. I did get a chuckle out of the NASA
comment, I do have a tall soapbox sometimes ... Kent your Fox gig still sounds
like a pretty cool one even if you got shushed. I've been lucky enough to record
some original music and open for some national acts here in Cleveland, huge fun
that gave me a chance to meet some well-known folks and friends I've hung on to
for years... 64 sounds very good, sounds like the focus might be post-1960 with
the best 50's guys added, which is good. I have to admit I had to do some head
scratchin' last time when Ken Norton, a relatable 70's star, was paired with
legend Max Schmelling, very tough to compare some of those guys. This set might
bring together matches between guys more easy to 'see' in a match. Peace. |

on the job again.O,kay,pardner,lets get to work.Give us the first two
matches.Evren, was it you who had a kind of board game that computed a fighters
strenghts and weakness,and then somehow predicted a winner? Kent,since you
ignored my offer to supply you with backup singers such as Jimmy D.,and
myself,how about Gerry Schultz and Massimo?|
|6/1/04 11:40:31 PM|steve |NJ||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|Fran,finally I've found
an east coast guy with some cultural backround!Yes,Billy Horner was known as the
"Human Perculater".Your probably younger than I am,and don't remember him at
clubs like "The Dunes",or "Dick Lee's,.I hope you are an Eagles fan.Billy Horner
is now a barber in Haddonfield,N.J.|
|6/2/04 04:03:17 AM|Massimo|Roma||shaquillerashauno'neal.com||||10|Just a
curiosity-Do you know guys Italian legendary singers like ( or such as )
Claudio Baglioni, Lucio Battisti, Georgia, Mina, Lucio Dalla, Adriano Celentano
and Gianni Morandi ?|
|6/2/04 04:09:25 AM|Fran|Philly||plc7755@aol.com||||10|I am an Eagles fan Steve
and this should be the year for them I can't imagine any city following a team
like we do the Eagles every year they are exciting. Every game the whole area
stops. Dick Lee's was around a long time. I always liked Jersey. The human
perculator A barber he probably does good bussiness. Is the draw random
for the tournement. |
|6/2/04 04:54:06 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|I'll work out another 32. Just to
remind you guys. I keep 64 names in a 'hat' and then pick out two randomly. Then
we give a designated amount of time for posters to give their results. Once we
tote them up the one with more votes goes through and the other is out.
