Wlad Klitschko goes through against Chuvalo - 5 votes to 3. The Spinks -
Weaver match is a draw so they are back in the pot!Next two matches are
- Zora Folley vs Pinklon ThomasRocky Marciano vs Tony Tubbs|
|6/9/04 04:57:30 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Pinklon
Thomas by decision in a rather uneventful fight. Folley would be physically
overmatched.Marciano by 7th round technical knockout over Tubbs. Marciano
would be a human buzz saw, with a body attack that would cause Tubbs to lower
his guard, exposing him to repeated blows to the head. Referee would stop it
late in round 7. |

Thailand||sinnbarr@hotmail.com||||10|Cruising around the web and I read Ed being
unkind to Roy Jones. Sports fans are hard to please, arn't we. We boo boring
boxers, boo conservative boxers, boo boxers too cautious in selecting opponents,
boo boxers who hide behind a jab, boo boxers who won't take chances, boo boxers
who rape and do drugs, boo boxers who make excuses, boo, boo, boo, etc. Then
along comes a guy with charisma, flamboyance, he isn't a rapist or drug taker,
he entertains by clowning around, fights anyone, he's prepared to move up
divisions to fight, and we boo boo boo him too. Why don't we just accept that
Jones was probably the exceptional fighter of his time and stop booing him ? He
chased fights with big guys and small ones. Maybe he wouldn't have beat Foster
or Monzon or Hagler or whoever. But no one can give a slam dunk case that he
couldn't. Ed you're a swell guy, so give Roy his dues and respect him and don't
boo him. Jones was a gracious loser, too. He didn't make excuses after he got
knocked out. The 'tall poppy syndrome' is alive and kicking when we boo great
fighters like Jones. Keep this great site going guys. Regards from Abe. |
|6/9/04 05:53:47 PM|Evren|Turkey||@||||10|I agree - Jones was and is an amazing
boxer who has it all. However..he did fail a steroids test once..so he is a drug
taker of sorts.|
|6/9/04 06:52:23 PM|Abe McGruff|Pattaya Beach,
Thailand||sinnbarr@hotmail.com||||10|There you go, I learn something every
day.Over here we don't get all the news, and I didn't know, or had
forgotten, that Jones failed a steroid test. He's gone down a peg in my
estimation. Calls into question lots about him. Was he juiced up in those other
fights. I really hope not. Thanks for correcting me Evren. You seem to be the go
to guy around here. Some of those names on Ed's list I know, some I
don't. Can't recall anyone by the name of schoolmarm though, Ed, maybe he was a
wrestler and that was his stage name. Marm sounds a bit girlie. Sounds like a
wacko. Guessing from those other names, Ed, that you go back a long way. You've
seen a bunch of fights and great fighters. Best wishes from Abe

night Eugene[cyclone]Hart and Denny Moyer fell out of the ring together.What
really happened was that Denny Moyer was a master boxer,mover.Hart allways
fought like a crazy man.He charged straight ahead,no side to side ,no circling
movements.He gave you no angles.Moyer could not get out of his way.He had
amazing power,especially the hook.The night I moved into my house,this was
Jan,1977,we went up on the roof,and hookd up the antanae.We watched on a
thirteen inch screen.We watched Vito Antuefermo as he spun cyclone
around,counterpunched him into a,I think it was a fifth round knockout.|

Dave Cowens was on the top fifty list.Angelo and Gerry, I will use the
example of Vitali Klitschko in boxing and compare him to Walton's situation.
Say that Vitali defends his title three times but is injured, a shoulder injury
that forces him to retire after the third defense. He looks great in those
