I read this on another forum years ago and honestly I'm inclined to believe the gist of it. Very interesting reading and it doesn't change my opinions of them much either. It makes sense.
my folks are from interior alaska but i'm a freak myself, i was mainly raised in seattle around black folk when i was young so i'm a little different than them and my mom was white. my tribe is athabascan. the stereotype about drinking is true in my experience, i don't see why or how people would deny that really, i've recently heard statistics that say we don't drink more than white people, but i don't believe statistics in this case. I'd say 90 % of my family has or has had alcohol problems, then we have the other crazy issues that come from alcohol like fetal alcohol syndrome which is rampant, by the grace of god, i don't have it but several of my relatives do. anyway, it's the younger generation and usually female natives who can't handle hard truths like that, so used to having everything sugar coated.Which tribe are you from, if you don't mind me asking? I think iirc you're a west coast guy? Maybe I'm wrong on that tho. So the stereotype of Natives not being able to handle alcohol is true, in your opinion? I read a story about how drinking alcohol is a very old world tradition, so when it was introduced to Indians over here they didn't have the history in their genetics to handle it the same way that the Whites did, etc. Same with diseases killling you guys off b/c you didn't have the immune systems to deal with our disgusting bodily infections. Not that whites aren't alcoholics of course, my father's side of the family all drink like fish.
Don't know for sure but by the sounds of it, it was Lennox.Who was the hardest to hit?
I'd have to say Lennox was the best. He took me places nobody else ever has, and he's the puzzle I could never solve all that well.
this is what stood out to me as well. He went through a gauntlet of the best heavyweights of his generation and still writes better than most boxing journalists. Granted, its sparring, but these are some big boys.Surprisingly articulate for someone who supposably spent years taking shots from some of the heaviest hitters in boxing.
We did.we had this thread 2 or 3 times didn't we?
I had an immigrant buddy once.i'm not working but i got stresses, i got an immigrant buddy who they are trying to kick out, trying to help him. Peoples stress has a way of rubbing off on ya.
I boxed my friend high and he almost knocked me out, good times
Hey, JerryI had an immigrant buddy once.
He was from Pakistan and he ran a cafe called the Dream Cafe. I told him he should ditch the American food and work on bringing an authentic Pakistani cuisine to the city.
Of course that didn't help either and people still weren't coming to his restaurant.
To make it worse. They sent his immigration visa renewal papers to my apartment by accident when I was out of town and my friend, who was supposed to pick up my mail, ended up not giving it to me in time and Babu was deported.
Does anyone get the reference?
i don't, but i don't watch tv. How do people get deported? we have 15 million illegal mexicans in the country, not that I care, but people from other countries get deported?I had an immigrant buddy once.

Yeah I know for sure it was posted in the plats a few years back, which is where I first read it.We did.
I remember reading this on here a couple years back.
It's from Seinfeld.i don't, but i don't watch tv. How do people get deported? we have 15 million illegal mexicans in the country, not that I care, but people from other countries get deported?
that wasn't my question, i just wonder if the govt. deports other people as a higher priority than mexicans, 15 mill doesn't say much for their priorities. No, i don't think a wall is going to help them, hell, maybe even prison wouldn't stop them. some people have nothing to lose. it's interesting to watch how people from different countries act though, i've known asians and east indians who are petrified of the govt.., as i stated, my buddy was shaking in his boots, no amount of "don't worry about it they're just trying to scare you" helped. I've also known illegals who don't sweat a damned thing.It's from Seinfeld.
If India was on the border, you'd have 30m Indians running around.
You're not going to keep Mexicans out of anywhere.
foreman would be worse, he was a monster, i think frazier probably would be amenable to just the work aspect of sparring, he had kenny norton as a sparring partner and kenny never complained and kenny was someone who lost to every big puncher he ever fought because he was scared of them. Larry Holmes said that Joe took his rage out on his ribs before the first ali fight however. Ali generally took it easy on sparring partners but not always, if he wanted to make a point he'd give out a beating, he did this to his brother, jimmy ellis, larry holmes and roy williams.Can you imagine being Joe fraziers sparring partner? Would be hell

"They had similar power. If anything David had a small edge but either man could crush you with one shot. I used to spar with Bert in the late 80s. Back then my chin wasn't as strong as it is now. Sparring partners develop good beards because they get beat up all the time. Your body gets used to it.
By the time I started sparring with David he was rough around the edges, and I had grown used to taking punishment. So I could withstand his punches but man they hurt. Every last one of them."
