I have that video and watched it recently myself. It's definitely good
quality and gives some personal views and insights. I also like the funky
soundtrack and the social commentaries.

I agree with you on the anchor punch bit. What is quite clear is that it
isn't even thrown from the shoulder, never mind the waist, but is just a
flick of the elbow. It looks extremely dubious, to say the least.

Lets put the true champ in perspective:

Before his second coming, he lost to Ali in the rope a dope.
Then he saw god and left boxing.
Then he saw money and came back to boxing.
Then he fought Holyfield, lost and continued.
Then he lost to Stewart, but got the decision.
Then he lost to Morrison, took 1.5 years off and
Deserved a title shot against Moorer. WHY? Because he sued!
Lost 9.8 of the 10 rounds. Won by one punch.
Then defended against #28 in the world, Alex Shulz, getting stripped
   doing so. (and rightfully)
And loses.
Now he wont even give him a ematch for $25M!

Truly a true champ for all the decades.

She said that Gerald is on his way home, but has lost about 90% of his
vision and hearing and "can't be left alone."  He will require constant
supervision and nursing care. He is said to be able to indicate his desire
to go home, but is not always expressive or cognizant of his surroundings.
  Apparently, the McClellans have installed a wheelchair ramp and made
other renovations to the family home, and have incurred approximately
$70,000 in medical expenses.

They posted an address for contributions.  They should be sent to:

First Bank North
P.O. Box 120
Freeport, IL 61032

So, Gerald seems to be "out of the woods," but is not exactly making a
full recovery.

Also on the same show, Roy Jones, Jr. was interviewed.  I have to say he
really impressed me with his honesty, humility and soft-spoken manner.

WOW!!!!! I am just sorry I wasn't taping it. If anybody has it taped, or if it
comes on again, please let me know so I can get my Dad a copy. He has just GOT
to see it.

I think that what has already been written is pretty dead on.  Prince
Charlie put on a surprisingly strong performance, looking much better than
he did acceeding to James Toney last summer.  He matched the slugger Sosa
punch for punch, often getting his attention with hard rights and strong
uppercuts.  The bottom line, IMHO, was that Sosa was younger, stronger,
fresher and had been in many fewer wars.  He showed little damage from
Prince Charles' bombs, and Charles was just an instant too slow to find
the openings that the defense-averse Sosa gave him time and again (even,
at one point, dropping his hands by his knees for a rest).  Also, Prince
Charles' legs were insufficient to move him forward for a full three
minutes; after the first half of the round, Sosa was usually able to back
Williams up, often into a corner, and do some of the excellent body work
that paid dividends later on.

The only problem with the fight was that the sudden ending, Williams
seemingly falling to pieces in a moment, did not live up to the rest of
the bout, a classic which had Hagler-Hearns-like or Fenech-Nelson-I-like
intensity.

Sosa should get his world title shot; Williams should view this as a cue
to bow out of the sport gracefully, near the top of his game, with a last
valiant effort.

And just think, it didn't cost us a nickel, like Jones-Paz did.

Good post, Dave...

Hope everyone caught this one -- WHAT a fight. Not a talentless slugfest,
but a good battle between 2 good fighters. Sosa should go for Hill, and
Williams should think about retirement. He probally could beat 90% of the
fighters out there, but I doubt if he could defeat Maske for the title --
hmm, but come to think of it, he could probally take Hill or Tiozzo...
