TO GMONEY: ED "TOO TALL " JONES did become a fighter and damn near got starched in his first fight against some little Mexican heavyweight who was at least 7 inches shorter. I think he was 6 or 7 - 0 when he wisely went back to football.

TO KALOOCBOY: Funny you would mention LYLE ALZADO fighting an exhibition without mentioning that it was an 8 rounder against MUHAMMED ALI in Denver. It went the "distance" and ALI had to do enough to keep ALZADO off of him to have the sportswriters comment that ALZADO was in a tremendous amount of pain when it was over. ALZADO lost one fight as an amateur to RON STANDER by controversial decision. The "bout" with ALI is not listed in ALI's record. Dan Coli
