    If Max wasn't, I'd like to know who was. (If as Jimmy Cannon wrote, Louis was a credit to the human race, what does that make Schmeling? (The poem "IF," written and published by Rudyard Kipling when Max was five years old, applies perfectly to Schmeling.)

    That the Lewis-Holyfield draw was a fair result (although I must admit that I was in the midst of a two day bender when I watched it.Oh and I was also suffering from conjunctivitis).

    Thatis it, you're getting much more involved and deeper in your posts. Good stuff! You've come out with some real insights recently.

    Don't worry about the Foreman chin, it's all good.
    Nothing personal at all. Maybe neither of us are quite right lol. Maybe it sits in the middle too? Cheers.

    Where do I begin?

    Perhaps it would be easier to list my views that are not controvertial.

    Haha! I will give you this Janitor, you and I often disagree, but you defend your views very well.

    Your understanding of pugilism is meticulous. And while I aver towards ethology, it would be groundless without paleontologists like you. Here's a hand extended across time and continents.

    That's the reason why your grandmother doesn't really have an idea about boxing.

    Would take too much time,I'm sorry. Furthermore I'm not interested anymore in discussions that have no endings or have no sense. Just pick any fighter you like to see and it's ok.

    A few offerings

    * I'm beginning to think that Sugar Ray Robinson, the welterweight, is maybe a bit overrated, and I think that Napoles, Griffith and Leonard would all win at least one fight out of a three fight series with the original Sugarman.

    *Conversely, I think Robinson the middleweight is actually underrated on this site.

    * I think Leotis Martin would have given Ali a pretty hard evening had he not suffered a detatched retina following the Liston fight...and had Ali not been forced into exile.

    * After wacthing, and re-watching Leonard Duran 1 again, I'm beginning to think that it's not the clear-cut victory that everyone makes it out to be. I scored it a draw the last time I saw it, and I could see a case being made for SRL edging out a decision after doing the better work over the last three rounds.

    Hagler/Hearns wasn't a good fight. Yes, the first round was intense, but Hagler never appeared to be hurt, as many people maintain....and he walked Hearns down just like he said he would. I don't understand how such a devastating and decisive beatdown can be regarded as a good match.
