SZoner, Bill Pruitt checked in with the cool photo above and this… Hi Craig, Today I got to meet the stunt coordinator for “Rambo First Blood II,“ Diamond Farnsworth. Ironically, I was working on a new “John Rambo” piece at Universal Citywalk when he happened to be up there. He couldn’t have been nicer and was very impressed that I knew who he was. (I’ve only seen him in Rambo II photos when Sly is doing bow and arrow target practice.) He said he taught Sly how to shoot the bow and arrow. Bill

Sly On Muhammad Ali

Craig / / 2007, Celebs

On Wednesday, Muhammad Ali turned 65. Sly was quoted for an article celebrating the champ and here’s what he had to say:

“What makes him the greatest fighter is that he simply had skills that exceeded anyone’s expectations,” Sylvester Stallone, who created and starred in the epic “Rocky” films, told Reuters. Stallone’s Rocky character was based on a 1975 opponent of Ali’s, journeyman Chuck Wepner, a liquor salesman who lost a technical knockout to the champion in the 15th round. “He was the fastest, the best, the most positive and they’ll never see the likes of him ever again,” Stallone said of Ali. “Maybe the greatest athlete of all time.”

Sly in Wales

SZoner, Clay Jones checked in with these pics and the following:

Hi Craig

Thought you might like to see a couple of pictures that were published in the ‘Wales on Sunday’ newspaper. They show Sly with Welsh super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe at a gala boxing dinner. The article said that Sly will be in Peter Manfredo Junior’s corner when Calzaghe defends his titles against him on the 3rd April in the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.

Really good site, keep up the good work!
