No Mas and the Week That Was
1/7
The Fighting Fisherman
Yvon Durelle, former light heavyweight champion of Canada and the British Empire died at the age of 77, which of course made us think about his legendary bout with Archie Moore in which he knocked the Mongoose down three times in the first round.
1/8
In the Carlos Mon-Zone
On the anniversary of the death of Carlos Monzon, we bring you the Argentinian in our No Mas Knockout of the Week, a 12th-round Monzonian destruction of Nino Benevenuti for the middleweight championship. "Benevenuti staggers to his feet as the ref is counting him out, and then, as Monzon celebrates in the center of the ring, the vanquished Italian does a Frankenstein-walk toward the ropes where he collapses in the arms of his handlers. Goodnight Irene."
Peter/Toney redux
Our man Unsilent Majority comes to us on loan from Kissing Suzy Kolber to help us out with a little analysis of Sam Peter's unanimous-decision victory over James Toney last Saturday. We also include a little video of the younger, considerably trimmer Lights Out knocking Michael Nunn's lights out.
What time is it? Hawk (and Goose) time!
On the eve of the announcement of the new Baseball Hall of Fame inductees, Large makes his case for Goose Gossage and Andre "Hawk" Dawson.
1/9
Big O 56, Seton Hall 54
On this day 49 years ago, the University of Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson went from star to stratospheric, scoring 56 points at the Garden, two more than the opposing team did in the entire game.
1/10
The die was cast f'real
Yo we're going back (how far back?) way WAY back, to the days when men were men and sheep were nervous and conquering conquerors crossed the Rubicon like it weren't no thang.
The Message
Large examines the Hall of Fame voting results and is shocked by what he finds. "The fact of the matter is that without the steroid controversy, McGwire's career gets him into the Hall, probably on the first ballot. Which means that if he doesn't get in, neither does Bonds, and neither does Sosa, and an entire era of baseball is being essentially erased from the annals of history..."

Chocolate Thunder at 50
To celebrate the 50th birthday of the President of Interplanetary Funkmanship (earthname - Darryl Dawkins) we reprint a story from the No Mas issue of Frank 151 where the double D tells us, among other things, how he used to have Lola Falana riding shotgun in his invisible spaceship and why Darth Vader is such a little bitch, even in a friendly game of one-on-one. "Maybe the reason that there are so few black superheroes is that there is this one cat who is so bad and so funky and so generally large and in charge and that there's just no need for all the low-rent Daredevils and Green Lanterns that populate the Superman market."

Don't Get Weary Joe Frazier
First the Big Choc and now Smokin Joe - it's a birthday bonanza on No Mas. We celebrate Joe Frazier's 63 birthday with the song that says it all.
