that was a great saying..then how about Jim Lampley..did that guy try to make homoerotic statements "young men, of all descriptions, going hard on one another" (from the bowe golota riots..but sounds like a gay porn tag line) how about the time when Michael Moore and Lennox Lewis where ringside watching fights, and Jim said "a very tender moment, as Lennox was foundling Morrison's 3 year old son as he sat on Lennox's lap"....good old jim.....
lmao yeah he goes morrison and i was like what? .. did lewis go to morrisons kid after the fight they had and goes "i'm your daddy now son"
I can remember when I first heard that expression. It was in 1974. In Boxing Illustrated,Joe Louis was reviewing Ali-Frazier 2. He mentioned that Frazier was on '***** Street' in the second round when Ali stunned him with a right hand.
Lol sorry for the mispelling, I was half drunk, but I'm not a good speller when sober. I also liked when Gil Clancy would say things like "he's a hooker from way back..."
I hold nothing against phrases that originated in times when the vernacular was more innocent and pertained less to sexual matters than it does today.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ray Leonard use the same phrase for Tyson-Berbick? "He's still on ***** street". Berbick most certainly was, even after the first KD! Those were the days, commentary by Barry Tompkins, Ray Leonard & Larry Merchant, for HBO!
Jack Dempsey had a book called Championship Fighting...it is a damn good book on the tecniques of fighting...bruce lee stole all the parts on punching for his book. Great book, even on training, dempsey talks about what would today be called "interval running" jogging slow then sprinting then jogging...etc. Damn good book, one funny part is where Dempsey talks about the "rubdown man" and how to give a good rubdown, and what oils to use, to the modern ear it sounds very "***** street" but of course back then I'm sure no one read it and thought that.
