"fraser Vs Ali"

Smoking Joe Fraser, no sting as a bee…
That knack resides with Mohammed Ali!
   Though killer in Manila…
   Very persistent fellow,
Smoked the rope a dope folly, by golly!   

For: Limerick Contest
In honor of Linda-Marie, (S.H. Of P.S

Gerard Keogh Jr. Date: 10/7/2010 5:15:00 PM God, I remember those three fights. King Kong Versus Godzilla. Even when each of them won, they looked like they had been a car crash. That was when boxing was all out and given every bit in the ring, not today, John. I can't watch that sport today. They have destroyed it. God, there were fighters back then, weren't there?

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/6/2010 6:14:00 PM Very cool, John! Ali surely had some sting in the boxing rink. I don't know the premise of this contest, but I love the limerick! I'm in Charlotte tonight. Drove 550+ miles today. Miss you guys, but am very tired and two more long days of driving ahead of me. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Joe Flach Date: 10/6/2010 10:35:00 AM You know, boxing has never been the same since these pugalists donned the gloves. I used to love this sport - now I never watch them. In fact, as a kid, I used to listen to the boxing matches on the radio. I loved Ali and his antics and will never forget the Thriller in Manila. Thanks for the memories in this terrific write.
