Cassius Clay was just as good.

Ironically, it was when he went by Clay that he was foolish enough to get tagged by Henry Cooper

If you wanna see an approximation of what an Ali-Tyson fight would have been like then just go to YT and watch all the Ali-Frazier fights...but you have to keep in mind that was NOT prime Ali.

Tyson could never take the punishment that Joe Frazier did...people forget that aspect of it.

Frazier is who Tyson always reminded me of offensively but Smokin Joe was also an extremely tough sob...he could take a huge amount of punishment.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Going back and reading all that has been said would help you out here.

Also, Ali was not the greatest...that would be Joe Louis.

I won't argue with Joe Louis...THAT fight or series of fights would have been the greatest heavyweight matchup of all time imo.

I ain't going back and reading all that crap...I've heard it all before. I was once on the Tyson goat bandwagon...but that ended for me a looooong time ago.

Mike did his damage on the way in, Joe did his damage once he got there. And he stayed there all fight.

Yeah my dad pushed baseball hard. I started playing 8u travel ball when I had just turned 6. Played fall ball every year as well. Afterbrec league I didn't have any interest in basketball so that was a no go, and I wasn't allowed to play football because I was too small. My mom wanted me to start wrestling earlier but my dad threw a fit, but I had some friends that did it and I brought it up.

I totally understand the cost thing too, I was lucky enough that dad made enough to pay the bills and mom worked part time to cover ball for Mt sister and I. I understand not everyone having that luxury though.

I believe kids should participate in several sports as well. My son started attending a small private school beginning 8th grade. that year he wrestled and played baseball. His freshman thru senior years he played football, baseball, golf and bowling lol. He was an honor student and ended up getting a partial scholarship for his acedemic achievements. He did get offered a little money from Samford baseball but the cost to go there was still tremendous and he decided to stay in state and go to UT.

I didn't stay long. They offered me academic money but no athletic as they told me they weren't allowed to offer both, and that I would get more academic than they could give me. So I totally understand the whole cost thing.

Where to look and when
C/2022 E3 (ZTF) should be visible without a telescope in the early evening sky for observers in the Northern Hemisphere during the latter part of January and early February in the Southern Hemisphere, states NASA. The comet will appear near the bright star Polaris, also known as the North Star.
The comet will be brightest as it passes Earth in late January, going into February. Depending on that level of brightness – which NASA calls unpredictable – it may become visible to the naked eye in dark conditions.
If you get a good look at C/2022 E3 (ZTF), tag Space Explored on Twitter or Instagram. We’ll share any images below.

Emulating what they see on TV from their heroes. Apparently whether they like it or not, pro athletes are role models.
But I agree, parents and coaches should teach sportsmanship

The Caleb Williams painting naughty words on his fingernails may seem a little less harmless when little Billy shows up to the rec league soccer game with **** on one hand and "Team 7" on the other.

And, that's all I'm going to say about that.

Anyone else go to the Knoxville Civic Coliseum to watch Tyson-Spinks closed circuit PPV on the big screen?

You want tough? Go back to Dempsey, Johnson and Langford when they'd fight for 20 to sometimes 40+ rounds.

I helped coach my sons football team…. That’s how I painted my nails on the sideline.

Nope but I did go over to golden gloves to watch Big Zo fight when he was suppose to be the next Big John Tate.

If Cus D’amato doesn’t die, mike Tyson is undefeated. Pretty much like Mickey dying on Rocky.

Cus was 77 when he passed in 1985. It was bound to happen. May have been able to scare off Don King long enough for Tyson to save some money.

Maybe. Cus was exceptionally skilled at protecting his fighters. Patterson sacked him because he realized he wasn't doing any favors for his legacy.

I posted about my son playing Hockey in the Beer League earlier and low and behold he just hit me up for a new hockey stick for his birthday. His birthday is in about 2 months.......it cost $150.00........he's 28............... just because they get older and have a good job, don't think they won't still ask..................I just ordered it.

It never ends...........

@Ulysees E. McGill----thought you might have an opinion. I'll be in San Jose Ca for work for two weeks. I have Sat/Sun to myself. Is Yosemite worth the 3.5 hr drive in the winter or should I head south to Monterey/Carmel area?

Absolutely a personal preference, but I'd go Monterey/Carmel. I've been to Yosemite twice and lived in Monterey for about year. Beautiful drive down the coast. Carmel is a neat town. Seventeen Mile Drive is awesome. Can't go wrong with either.

Rocky Balboa was the greatest ever. You disagree, we square off at a WH.

Let’s talk about the real rocky. Rocky Marciano
