I heard many a story about gramps sitting next to the radio, cussing the shit out of Ali. Gramps hated a peacock.

Hard to fathom what my kids will be saying about today's fighters. MMA seems to have styles that are continuously evolving.

Howard Cosell announced ALL Fights of merit and could make/break a Fighter. He and Ali often sparred,which of course garnered huge draws.

RINK

They were both a little more sharp than they often let on.......................(grin)

I remember seeing a Cosell/Ali interview once where Howard threatened to kick Ali's ass......never could find it again.

Don't think Merchant didn't see it too....................(grin)

Not known as a performance enhancing drug....

Diaz Fail

Of all the combat sports, the BJJ guys seem to love that shit the most.

The whole testing thing is going to be cat and mouse forever. Lets just have a natural class, and an unlimited class of every sport, including the Olympics, where you can use anything you want.

Usain Bolt juiced up, clembuterol in his lungs, and coked out of his gourd.....

Only imagine the change that would make to every sport.....less ice curling.

Not that I endorse weed, but fuck me, it don't exactly stack odds in your favor, especially in a sport like MMA.

Now, if staring contests became a sport they'd have grounds for an unfair advantage.......grin
