    What was the atmosphere at the WC after the Linares loss? Tough, tough loss for the kid.

    Interesting question, r. Can't giveya a real feel for that. Only at WC when Pac trains. The gym's cleared, but for sparring partners, cornermen 'n 24/7 camera crews.

    ive seen a couple of his fights on utube, and he intrigues me. he is so fluid with his punches, it like poetry in motion. plus, he had a very good chin, a warrior in the ring. definitely one of the most complete fighters around. his streak of like 130 wins without a loss, or, something like that, is amazing. that just shows u he was dominating the competition. i believe he never was knocked out, only one time when he didnt come out for the round. unbelieveable

    You've described it, in a nutshell, BF...but beyond the record, it was the charisma 'n drama he brought into the ring; the ever-present silk lightening.

    John, could you ask Freddie what he thought of LInares' fight and what he thinks Linares needs to improve on?

    Tomorrow's headline reads: "Pac out with a broken toe!"

    That's interesting.

    initially, when I first saw Ali -- still named Clay -- at the 5th St. Gym in Miami, he was a lean, motor-mouth fresh from the Olympics. Couldn't understand all the hype about him. Had no work ethic, pitty-patted sparring, couldn't break 'n egg 'n couldn't fight inside. Thought the first quality heavy he faced would launch him into space.

    Talk about eatin' crow.

    Pitty pat? Wow that's a first lol. I did read an Ali interview somewhere (I think) where he said training sessions were 45 minutes of training, and 2 hours of showboating.

    people dont really remember ali from his early part of his career before he went to prison. he was a totally different fighter. fluid, great foot work, u couldnt catch him with a ten foot pole. he was so fast with his combos, it was a sight to see. and his defense was superb way better than his fights with frazier. those 3 years did him in, physically. he was never the same fighter again, athletically. i guess what made him great was his heart from then on. but, the ali before prison would of demolished frazier, in my opinion.
