WHAT is "sticky status" exactly ?????? and HEY are you going to buy my book :) ?
Sticky status keeps a thread at the top of the page. I thought this thread deserved to be seen ......maybe even more than the Drago vs. Godzilla threads! ;)
I am still waiting for an excerpt.....I will likely buy it but
it will probably be another payday before I can.....I am only rich in Rick Reeno money!(points) :D
More details about cost might help too........
Iceman, is your book going to have a wide distribution to bookstores or is this something that I would have to order on-line? I live in Canada as well, so even if it's going to be selling in retail outlets we might not get it here, I guess.
Rocky
Roccigianni wasn't the best I fought. Henry Maske and Michael Nunn were although I thought I could have gotten the decision over Nunn. Collins was very rugged but his style cant deal with RJ
Hey John, I remember you going the distance with a top fighter in Kronk's German Southpaw Graciano Rocchigiani. Or maybe I'm not remembering right?? If that was you, can I ask if Rocky was the best you fought?
Also, I know you sparred with both Roy Jones and Steve Collins in the 80's, but I don't rate Collins that highly. Collins called out Jones Jr a lot around 95-96, do you think that Collins would of been stopped and hospitalised by Jones Jr as I do? Also, do you think that Collins wouldn't of stood much chance of beating Benn or Eubank a few years earlier? ;)
Just in case you boys and girls didn't know, The Iceman was a pretty fair cruiserweight (38 and 11 with 21? KOs).
The guy could teach us ALL a little sumpin'! :boxing:
...Yeah, and he is one hell of a nice guy on top of all of that, and he has a great sense of humor.
