when i was a hyperactive kid, i used to like boxing, and of course muhammad ali.
he was a great athlete, with a one-of-a-kind style who made a stand for his beliefs.. now that i'm older, i admire athletes that are quieter and get on with the job in hand - joe frazier, for example.. i'd like to put american racial politics and ali's tragic current condition to one side and focus on the following:.
how good a fighter was ali?.
@3rdgen - I agree, Ali was compulsive viewing.
I remember watching Ali vs Bob Foster on youtube.
Foster was the light-heavyweight champ and a good fighter. He caught Ali a couple of times with the right hand and, each time, Ali would make his legs wobble as if he was going out, taking the p1$$. He treated Foster like a sparring partner, incredible!

blondie - I agree, Tyson's ear-biting in the return fight with Holyfield was disgraceful - it certainly puts illegal tactics employed by Ali in the shade.
minimus - maybe a prime, well-motivated Tyson has a shot against Ali - if a 185lb Cooper left hook can have Ali/Clay in trouble, what could a 220lbTyson left hook do?

You might have a point, Gregor.
Ali had tremendous speed and a fair amount of skill but a prime Tyson (c.1988) was a machine that specialised in destroying skillful boxers.
That would've been a great match up.

As a boxer, what were his strengths and flaws?
How have you scored his fights (they're all on youtube)?
was it designed?.

Excellent article, Island Man.
I have two suggestions for future articles:
1. the canine teeth of Smilodon
2. snake venom.
Take your pick ...
i agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.
it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.
the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.

They were a bit before my time but I'll have to give them a listen ...

I like your post jemba - it is sweet and honest.
Perhaps I should be more open-minded to opinions like yours ...

I also agree with WTS that the 'soul' doesn't exist.
However, me & WTS quicky part company with the existance of Jehovah, although I don't have the bollocks to tell them this.
Is this really what I'm missing in WatchtowerWorld?

P.S. good point about the lawsuits ADCMS.
from the u.k independent newspaper :.
" the theories of evolution and the big bang are real and god is not a magician with a magic wand, pope francis has declared.. speaking at the pontifical academy of sciences, the pope made comments which experts said put an end to the pseudo theories of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, benedict xvi.. francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator arguing instead that they require it.. when we read about creation in genesis, we run the risk of imagining god was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything.
but that is not so, francis said.. he added: he created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.. the big bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.. evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.. the catholic church has long had a reputation for being anti-science most famously when galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his heretic theory that the earth revolved around the sun.. but pope franciss comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of pope pius xii, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the big bang theory.
Me too, cantleave.
Considering the tonnage and toxicity of the garbage spewed by other religious leaders, this dude ain't so bad ...
