Rybka, Zappa, Ali and George Foreman

Post by geots »

All i have been reading about reasons Rybka is losing, everone has a diff. one- and it reminded me of the Ali-Foreman fight in Zaire Africa in 1975. After Ali knocked Foreman out, later reporters were deluging Foreman with questions about why he lost- opening the door for him to make excuses. His answer i have never forgotten- and was as follows "When you and your wife and children are snowbound in a cabin and there is no food left to eat- you take your gun and go rabbit hunting. If you come back with no rabbits, "why" doesnt matter. Your family is still hungry."

It is more than possible for Zappa to beat Rybka.

There is nothing fishy about it......
