I was just going through my mind yesterday if everyone on this blog was a famous boxer, who would they be?

I'd be Laila Ali! A smart beautiful and poweful sista. She got skills like her daddy.

I'd probably be Marvin Hagler. Very underrated blue collar champ. Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker comes to mind also.

Muhammad Ali invented Hip Hop

It all started
20 years past
the greatest of them was born at last ...
The first words from his Louisville lips
I'm pretty as a picture
and there is no one I can't whip!
He said in a voice that sounded rough
I'm strong as an ox and twice as tough
He predicts the round in which he is going to win
This is the way his career has been
The name of this champ
I had might as well say
Is no other than the Greatest

Anonymous said...: I guess I meant matching your personality, delivery to boxing skill.

Félix 'Tito' Trinidad: technical/text book boxer/power puncher
Roy Jones: unorthodox boxer/about clown'n someone rather than about brute force
Muhammad Ali: an innovative specialist
Floyd Mayweather: master boxer (according to my homey & DV the best ever)
George Foreman: Slugger
Leon Spinks: brawler/ just ugly
Shane Mosely: technical boxer/puncher
Marvin Haggler: tenacious unyielding
Tommy 'HITMAN' Hearns: Homicidal Negro category/lean on a fool with all his life force, just no regard for humanity at all/The Negro is just evil, a sith lord/if you fight'em you'd feel like 100 Negroes jumped you...then after identifying him in the police line up, be ask'n where the other 99 Negroes at that helped him
Tyson: Boxer/slugger; Sep 30, 2010, 7:03:00 PM
Pink said...: You skipped Lenox! I only recognize boxers based on physical attraction... soooo:
Lenox Lewis: sexy, dread, English accent. Nuff said.
Floyd Mayweather: sexy, cocky but not obnoxiously so, so it in no way detracts from said sexiness.
Mike Tyson: used to be kinda sexiness in that knock a mf'er out type of way but now just plain crazy.

Ok, that's all I know!; Sep 30, 2010, 7:29:00 PM
Anonymous said...: Paul Williams is the truth. The best boxer noone has heard of.

Naseem Hamed may have been one of the best showmen

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
