Germany doesn't play it any more for the house fighter than the US does. But it'd be stupid to stage such a fight in Germany, since it'd never raise the same amount of money. The US is the far larger market. The PPV figures in Germany would be a pitance. You got it all right there AND Lewis will not be allowed to intoxicate his opponent. - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - ....pablo Ed

The Tyson/Douglas fight was shocking to everyone, since it was in the era when Iron Mike still defined boxing for a lot of non-fans. People I worked with who knew the name of two fighters (Tyson and Tommy Hearns, this is in Detroit) were talking about the KO afterward. It really was one of these you must be kidding type upsets. I think the first Clay/Liston fight was more of a shock than the second. This was when the heavyweight champion of the world was also considered the meanest, toughest, etc. man in the  world. That Liston or ANY champ would quit on his stool was unimaginable. I remember listening to that fight on the radio and was as flabbergasted as any one in Miami that night. From what I have read, the Willard/Johnson fight was a shock

this Beloved Sport? In no particular order and not including fights previously mentioned (especially Tyson-Douglas): After getting his ass kicked for most (all?) of the fight, Carbajal's kayo of Chiquita Gonzalez in their first bout. Honeyghan's destruction of Donald Curry Forrest's dismantling of Mosley Ken Norton's decision win over Ali, first bout. Azumah Nelson's shockingly easy win over Jeff Fenech in their rematch. Rocky Lockridge's one punch kayo of Roger Mayweather to win the _title_. Billy Backus' stopping Jose Napoles via cut to win/borrow the welterweight _title_. John Stracey's victory over Napoles, even though Jose was getting long in the tooth and retired after the bout.

Why don't you just crumble up and die?  I am sure Satan is wating for you.  You are starting to sound really silly now.   We coud bury you right next to the grave of Hitler. You know where Hitler is buried? Strange that the rest of the world does not even know where his body's remains are yet you know the grave site. P.S. When is your hero Ted Kennedy going to apologise for killing Robbie Phillips aunt at chappaquiddick. Brian, why do Niggers such as yourself keep trying to hold the entire African-American people down to your standard, do them a favour and distance yourself and stop acting like their standard bearer, when a guy as stupid as you obviously are shouts that he is black he must not realise what a burden he is to his fellow black men who are better than him. You are stupid and obtuse as they come, accept it and stop getting upset when people call you a nigger, people didn't make you a nigger, you just act like one. You are just plain stupid and uneducated and you'd be wise to stop getting off topic because you make a fool of yourself with you mental shortcomings whenver you try to discuss historical facts. The next time they call you a nigger get upset at yourself because it's the image you convey to others, improve yourself rather than go around angry at the world, your vanity and ego are the only things stopping your from getting a true assesment of your worth and capabilities and from then on searching self improvement. Stop being a paranoid, egotistical bastard with persecution complexes that keeps passing the buck every time something sad happens to you, be a man and stand up to your own problems rather than look for scapegoats and excuses because RSB is not your personal support group.

Let's see.... Tom, you are of European descent.  You are an asshole.   A very big one thank you. How right would it be for me to to refer to all caucasians as Honkey's, Hoogies, Crackers, Red Nex, Peckerwoods and Assholes and Devils? Who is the smarter man here? Think about this Tom Bishop, Andre. And maybe Steve Goldberg. Brian Davis Riverdale, IL PETE ROSE BELONGS IN THE HALL OF FAME!

There was a memorable bit of theater before the Lockridge-Mayweather fight.  Roger came into the ring wearing cool shades and danced cockily up to Lou Duva, who was handling Rocky.  When the two were face-to-face, Duva snarled, You're gonna get yours! And, shortly thereafter, he did.
