Dwight Muhammad Qawi vs Bob Foster LHW (Poll added)

"Why would you assume I know nothing about Scott's crime?" Because you didn't read the trial records or interview his lawyer. But of course you're free to convict via Wikipedia. I reasonably assume you think Tyson should have gone down for the **** accusation. Funny thing, at about the same time and with more incriminating evidence than Tyson's she-said for the same charges, wee-Willy Kennedy went to med school rather than prison. Fancy that! And to think they let the not guilty ruling verdict lie versus circle back a half dozen years later a la Scott.

"Well given that they're both dead I'm quite confident I'd win boxing matches." The smart money would be on them nonetheless.

" very cool that you were friends with two boxers who committed murder." Ah-ha. So we're talking "two" murderers. In spite of the voluminous public knowledge otherwise and his ultimate exoneration by a federal judge, you have Rubin pegged as guilty. Otherwise, yes, you're right; befriending them was cool. As to Jersey based boy scouts if it's any consolation I took a pass on Ayala, Jr. Otherwise, if you can dig it up check out my memoir (under the Reminiscence section) in the 2-10-86 Sports Illustrated issue. I made a pilgrimage to Deer Lake a month before Manila and Ali let me spend the night (even pulled out the cot for me with Larry Holmes hand wraps dangling over it) and woke me for road work at 5AM. But, alas, perhaps your take on Ali is that of an unpatriotic draft dodger. To close the circle I also made a rendezvous to Frazier and he was happy to let me run with him, too (came up on him in the dark in the dead of winter and he didn't flinch).

Let's move on to a focus on boxing analysis since that's what we signed on for. Enjoy your weekend.

 

Good choice.
