long. Jimmy D, just think, if there was no Corletti fight, then we wouldn't
have our stooges club, remember? Oh by the way, if I didn't ever concede you
were right about it being at the forum, I am doing so now.|

Regarding Henry Cooper:Cooper made it a lifelong effort to avoid having to
defend his British Commonwealth Championship against Canadian George Chuvalo. He
ducked the guy for almost a decade and got away with it. Chuvalo agree to fight
him in London and still got the no go.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|By the way Jimmy Q.(made the perfect MOE
of our fearless leaders club)He never really commented on it.And i'm sure he had
fun with it,And I think I'M speaking for Kent, when we cannot come close to
finding a replacement for MOE (JIMMY QUARRY WAS ONE "CLASS ACT").HE DEFINETLY
WAS A LEADER!|

Jimmy did comment on the stooge entries but not on the letters page. I talked
to him about it during one of my phone conversations with him. He got a laugh
out of it.|

this site because of the positive and honest comments that are put out
there.Sometimes we agree and other times disagree.Anybody had the pleasure to
meet and talk to Bob Foster?I have and truly say that he is one of the most
genuine people in our sport.I remember one of the things he said about drinking
during his career (I am a drinker myself and never been in a bar I didn't
like).Anyway, Bob said he had a guy in his camp that was there for 1
reason.Supply the guys with tall Budweiser!He said he trained hard but never saw
anything wrong with drinking cold beer.Hope he still enjoys it.Bob was THE MAN
in the lt.heavy class. |
|4/10/03 01:47:34 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Max, it is not
fair that someone like Bob Foster never had a problem making weight, even
apparently when he would drink beer. He had a hard time packing on ten extra
pounds to try and compete agaisnt heavyweights. I on the other hand having
dabbled in boxing when I was younger weighed around the light heavyweight limit
in my late teens and would have been about crusierweight in my early twenties
but am now a full blown heavyweight and then some. If I would have ever had to
make weight, once I matured, I would have had to watch every calorie no matter
how hard I trained. I bet Foster never had to worry about what he ate either. |
|4/10/03 02:48:29 PM|Joe Krause|Chicago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|I never saw
George Chuvalo in a bad fight, well maybe Zora Folley. I love watching go in
and letting those combinations go, not really a huge hitter, but good enough to
compete with the top guys. Give Ken Norton his chin and you have the best
fighter that ever lived. Of course I could say that about alot of guys with
George's chin I guess.|
|4/10/03 03:26:34 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|I wonder who had the
better chin,Jerry or Chuvalo?Jerry stood up pretty well against Joe Frazier's
shots on two occasions.I haven't seen the Chuvalo vs Frazier fight in a long
time , but I think Chuvalo actually turned his back on Frazier in a corner
because he had simply had enough.I think it was about the third round.|
