Boxing

Whenever the great boxing rivalries of history are the topic of conversation, the Ali-Frazier triology is always at the top of the list for discussion. This is understandable because Ali called Frazier such derogatory names as "Gorilla" and "Uncle Tom", and all three of their fights were classic wars that pitted the boxer against the slugger. Frazier is the only one to ever floor Ali, and, to this day, does not have any use for him.

But, why isn't the Ali-Norton triology ever given the same consideration. Norton broke his jaw in their first fight, and many of the experts think he actually won their other two encounters. Norton went the distance against Ali in all three of their battles, and was the only one who could match him in both intelligence and stragety. Where the Ali-Frazier triology goes down as the most bitter feud in boxing history, the Ali-Norton triology rarely even gets mentioned. Any of you boxing fans have any ideas why that may be?

God help us. Fraudley Harrison gets knocked out by Sprott, who now fights Matt Skelton with the winner probably going on to fight for a world title. What a joke. Is this really the best we've got to offer?

In honor of Pancho' question I have to add the best 130 lb. fighter of them all, Roberto at 130 lbs might have been the best the division ever produced. Props to Pancho, not the blogbaba of the question.

Both were avoided during their careers and not known as "exciting fighters." Now Hopkins has beaten virtually everyone (but Taylor)and Wright with wins over Mosley and a draw with Taylor is at his pinnacle. Whoever wins will have an impressive notch in his belt but will it please the fans? Also who is your pick to win?

Could professional boxers such as Tyson, Ali or Valuev lift anywhere near as much as a professional weightlifter such as Ronnie Coleman, Arnold or Scott Mandelson?

On page 106 of the new ESPN issue, Mosley refers to a 100 grand bet that he won over Vargas.

What was the wager about?

ive never seen such a set up for a boxer to race through the ranks as fast as khan is doing.when are they going to get this guy a proper fighter to box.the commentators are trying to say that who he's just flattened was a decent boxer?rubbish,you could tell just by looking at him that he was nowhere near khans caliber.get khan to the states,lets see how tough he really is! what do you lot think? ps.-i feel sorry for all the people that have paid good money to go and see that farce!

If women chase money then why do women chase me over millionaire?
Am just a university student that come from a average family with a average bring up, But not to be arrogant am a very good looking with a awesome physique.
My main point is I know alot of people who make thousands of pound every day illegally or legally and they have really expensive cars house etc.
But there are still some women/girls who wouldn't go anywhere near them and at the same time these millionnaire guy/boys chase them.
And i've manage to get of with these girls and i've never chased them, also most of these millionnaire long-time girlfriend have cheated on them because I was the man doing the cheating with their girlfriend.
So then again do women choose money over looks or looks over money in your view?
I just wana knowyour opinion?
But remember looks can never be brought or made since they priceless.
And mone always has it price
