To me it's Ali, hands down. Moved like a butterfly and stung like a bee.

My favorite fighter though was Marvin Hagler...

Where is/was Andy's?

116th Street and Second Avenue. I ate there with my Dad just about every Friday afternoon for almost thirty years (EHI already knows this).

I grew up in the Bronx, 187th and Hoffman, but my Dad grew up in East Harlem, Pleasant Avenue, between 117th and 118th. My grandparents lived in that building from the day they arrived in this country until the day each of them died, almost 70 years! So I know the area well, and I feel like I grew up there myself. When my grandmother died in 1991, she was already one of the last Italian born women in the neighborhood.

Re Rao's: Overrated. I've posted this before, but I've eaten there twice and it was no great shakes. Family style NYC Italian. Nothing you can't get at Domimick's in the Bronx or Bamonte's in Brooklyn for half the price (not to mention that you can just walk right into those places).

Re Changing neighborhoods: No one who grew up in a cold water tenement walk up (like I did) would want the same for their children. Anyone who posts otherwise is just being a sentimentalist who obviously grew up in the suburbs. Italian American assimilation is a good thing.

Who was that rapper who did a video outside Bamontes? It was one of those Mob Rappers from the bronx? I laughed my ass off when i saw that, Tony R was probably still in prison when they shot that or it never would have been there! LOL!

As far as food La Corsa is excellent, on a E110th by Park!

Great pizza .

PB did you know they did the Giglo festival meal last year! You know, the one where you carry a 50,000 pound statue for a meal and bragging rights!

My father's on the board, you pineapple .

But let's be candid, with all the new inventions why can't they get a lighter statue! That thing is ridiculas!

Because Italians are superstitious. They think a lighter statue would doom us all to hell .

Read Burt Sugars Boxing Encylopedia! Sugar ranks by weight, however he's at the top. Dundee has stated it several times, he had a soft spot for Ali, however he also stated pound for pound Marchiano was the best FIGHTER. This is a personal opinion argument. For my money I take Marchiano and his punch. Let me ask a question, you say the division wasnt that competitive! Was the Rocky's fault?

"And it's not just the money. It's a pride thing. All our food: pizza, calzone, buffalo moozarell', olive oil. These f----s had nothin'. They ate pootsie before we gave them the gift of our cuisine. But this, this is the worst. This expresso shit."
