3/8/1971″

From Genghis 711

Definitely the greatest fight that Muhammad Ali ever lost, which also happened to be the greatest event he ever lost. Perhaps the biggest sports event at least up to that point in 1971 that had more of a Super Bowl atmosphere rather than a championship fight atmosphere. With all of the people who saw it on TV or close-circuit or were at the fight.

The fact that non-boxing fans or at least people who weren’t big boxing fans before this fight, who got into this fight, watched this fight and followed boxing especially the heavyweight division after this fight, of course the two fighters involved the top two heavyweights at least of the 1960s and early to middle 1970s in the challenger Muhammad Ali whose the top heavyweight of the 1970s (and in my opinion and many others who know more about boxing than me the top heavyweight of all time) against the best heavyweight boxer, at least to this point and would remain so after beating Muhammad Ali, at this Super Bowl of boxing event, until he lost the fight to George Foreman.

The Social Design: Dyan Cannon- The Doctor Wives (1971) The Card Game

Source:The Social Design– Hollywood Goddess Dyan Cannon, in The Doctors Wives, from 1971.

“Sassy, sexy Dyan Cannon at the country club card table, keeping the other wives nervous. From the 1971 film “Doctors’ Wives”, directed by George Shaefer. Starring Dyan Cannon, Richard Crenna, Carroll O’Connor, Gene Hackman, and quite a few others. Produced by Frankovitch Productions. This is not my material, I am just a fan. No infringement intended.”

From The Social Design

Dyan Cannon is one of my favorite sexy babies all time. And not just because she’s baby-face adorable, hot and with a real nice body. Even though all of those things are true, but she’s also very funny especially when she is so cute personally and she can also act.

This scene from The Doctors Wives is a pretty good example of that. These women are all married to big shot doctors who also happen to be workaholics. Who are perhaps more in love with their jobs than their wives.

The men and women are supposed to be playing cards. But Dyan or her character is horny and feels the need or craving for sex. And knows her fellow players are not satisfied with their husbands. And thinks it might be their fault that their husbands don’t spend a lot of time with them. And offers to have sex with all the men to show the women what they’re doing wrong with their men.

A very funny scene with a very funny adorable sexy hot actress, Dyan Cannon.

Muhammad Ali: Jimmy Ellis (1971)

Muhammad Ali on the road back to winning the World Heavyweight Championship in 1971.

I’m not Jimmy Ellis’s official biographer and I’m sure heavyweights were lighter and smaller back then, from where they are today, but I don’t see a 190 pound man has the physical strength to take on a big, strong, powerful heavyweight, like Muhammad Ali, or a Ken Norton, George Foreman, or Larry Holmes, from later on in the 1970s. No offense to Jimmy Ellis, who was solid heavyweight fighter, but this looks like a physical matchup to me, at least pre-fight.

Mod Cinema: Such Good Friends (1971) Dyan Cannon Stars

Source:Mod Cinema– Hollywood Goddess Dyan Cannon.

“Based upon the novel by Lois Gould and adapted (under the pseudonym Esther Dale) by Elaine May, Such Good Friends focuses on Julie Messinger (played by Dyan Cannon), a woman with intense, often wild emotions that are held in check beneath a rather conventional façade. After her chauvinistic and self-centered husband Richard checks into the hospital for a simple mole removal that goes seriously wrong, Julie discovers that he has been titanically unfaithful to her. This is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, and Julie decides it is time for her to break out of her shell, no matter what the consequences. She begins to exhibit a sexual interest in other men (sometimes indiscriminately, as when she seduces her family doctor, played by James Coco), and speaks her mind to others, including her egocentric mother (Nina Foch) and her hypocritical best friend (Jennifer O’Neill). At the end, Julie wanders into Central Park and, presumably, a new life.”

From Mod Cinema

This sounds like a hell of a script. A woman who finds out her ailing husband has cheated on her and decides to get revenge on him by going out with his friends. It also sounds like a very funny movie, especially considering Dyan Cannon is the lead actress and she’s so adorable and funny to begin with.

I mean think about it, the wife of a very wealthy man who will never have to work a day in her life, just as long as she’s married to this man and doesn’t screw that up. Just screws him without hurting him. Whose husband is now in the hospital with a rare and perhaps fatal condition. A man whose given her so much.

And how does she take his serious condition? Does she freak out and spend time with her family and seek their support? No! She goes into his little black book to see who he’s been socializing with. And decides the best thing to do is not to make sure that her husband can get the best care that he can, but to get try to get revenge on him by sleeping with his friends while her husband is in the hospital. Except for the obvious physical attraction. I’m glad this woman is not my wife. Actually, I’m glad I’m not married, but that’s a different story.

From Genghis

To me Ali-Frazier 1 from 1971, the fight that was not only for the World Heavyweight Championship of boxing, was the boxing Super Bowl of the 1970s. But it was also the start of I believe the best heavyweight rivalry at least of the 1970s, by perhaps the two best boxers of this generation.

Ali-Frazier really was the closest thing to a Super Bowl that boxing has ever had. If you consider where the event was which was at Madison Square Garden in New York and all of the people who saw this event, this was huge for not only the two boxers in this event, but also for boxing itself.
