DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Noam:That rush of counting down the days until
a fight took place----until you mentioned it, I almost forgot about it. Part of
the problem is that the fights are now all pay per view and they sometimes start
close to midnight eastern time. That's ridiculous. I remember the Muhammmad
Ali and Larry Holmes title defenses that were on network television in prime
time. There was so much buzz about these fights---in school, we'd all be
talking about the fights for at least a week leading up to the night and a
couple days after too! The undercards were good, and the network would show at
least one or two of these undercard bouts, mixed in with career profiles of the
title participants, building drama for the title fight.If I recall,
ABC/Cosell did quite a few of the Holmes fights, NBC had Ali-Shavers and I
believe CBS had Ali losing to Spinks. These were classic broadcasts---much
better than pay per view crap. The production quality was better, although the
commercials sucked---but I'd rather have Gillete pay for the rights for me to
watch than shelling out $49.99 and staying up till after midnight. |

of the Quarry-Spencer fight for sale. I remember that fight. Spencer was
supposed to be the contender, however it never was him. Spencer was hyped up
well on the west coast, ring magazine etc. Quarry took him apart literelly.
Spencer did nothing ever again because of the wipping Quarry put on him. Hey
Jerry Quarry was top shelf all the way.|

how many times Jerry Quarry was the underdog against up and coming contenders,
and he either took their head off or gave them a boxing clinic. |

some challenging comments and then just walk away without responding to our
responses. SO DOCTOR, THIS IS A PLACE FOR AN OPEN DICUSSION OF
DIFFERING IDEAS. WHERE ARE YOU? IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT BANNING

DR. (?) PATTERSON: Dear Dr., a long time ago, Joe Louis was on a talk radio
station and some little old lady in tennis shoes rambled on exactly the same way
you did in your posting. Louis listened patiently and then responded "miss, if
you don't like boxing JUST DON'T WATCH IT" -- or is that too deep for your
