to define himself and his own specific plans, rather than just attacking Romney.

I agree with that, too.

I can do without Tom Brokaw. To borrow a cliche "he has lost his fastball."

I though so too. We need him out there more.

On the other hand I guess an MTP audience knows what a trojan horse is.

The second fight was basically an exhibition and a bore.

The Thrilla in Manilla was a fantastic fight, one for the ages, very nearly a fight to the death and produced two exhausted fighters. Ali almost quit after the 11th round.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Ali forced Joe Frazier to fight his fight. Ali would stick and move and whenever the diminutive Frazier tried to get inside he would tie him up, negating his biggest asset. If Ali fights that fight in their first fight he wins and doesn't suffer as much physical damage. In the Thrilla
the Frazier camp cried to the refs so Ali couldn't hold as much. But he was able to somewhat compensate by just keeping his left extended.


I liked how big George Foreman solved the Frazier conundrum by essentially just shoving him back whenever he tried to get inside. It worked to devastating effect.

Joe Frazier was a great fighter but his diminutive stature put him at a disadvantage to larger fighters.
