CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|BOB: yes i agree what a battle Ali-
Frazier III. One thing about ALI he fought everybody,all the big guns and
Mr.Tyson can not say the same.Frazier was one hell of a gladiator,and I really
get upset how people could bad mouth him,Personally I think he might have had
his hands full with say a RON LYLE OR EARNIE SHAVERS.I only went to his site a
few times mostly because of all the terrible names people called him "was not
right" I sure wished Jerry would have stayed away from him in 74'. I cringed
when the bout was officially signed,for I figured Jerry was gonna get a clear 1
Million$ shot at the WORLD TITLE,Joe of course crashed those dreams and that was
about it,JERRY had bills to pay especially when he has a wife who was "high
maintenance" etc. QUARRY-BONAVENA probably would be a real thriller,they were up
and down against each other in the world ratings for ten years.|

for Marciano over Tyson, too. Marciano would have soaked up the punishment and
as the fight continued Tyson would have got very tired and dispirited and his
head movement would have stopped. Marciano's punches would by then be connecting
and I see a late rounds stoppage. And, while I don't think Tyson would be back
for a rematch, Rocky would stop him very early if he did.|

Tyson is a tough one for me to call. I was born in 1963 so I never saw Marciano
fight, except for some highlight reels. I have a video of great knockouts and
knockout punchers, co-hosted by Tyson. Tyson pays tribute to Marciano on the
tape. I think it would be a brutal fight and the way I see it, Tyson would win
the fight early, or Marciano would win it late. If Tyson connected in the first
5 rounds, he could finish Rocky with a typical Tyson knockout. But if Marciano
could take him past the middle rounds, I think he would wear Tyson down and take
the spirit away from Iron Mike. For me, Holmes-Frazier is also tough to call,
but I would favor Holmes. I think Holmes' height advantage might help him a
little, and his foot movement and strong left jab would keep Frazier away (to
the extent that you could keep Frazier away). I think Holmes would win a
unanimous decision by outboxing Frazier. Holmes ability to take a wicked punch
and survive a knockdown is underrated. For my money, Shavers hit harder than
Frazier, and Holmes took the best Shavers had to offer and managed to come back
strong, to beat Shavers not once but twice. True, Frazier had more stamina than
Shavers did, and would likely keep smoking toward Holmes, but like a bull
fighter, I think Holmes would keep moving back and to the side, clipping Frazier
with sharp jabs and the occasional hard right, scoring more points and taking
rounds on "ring generalship." Holmes by decision whether it was 10, 12 or 15
rounds. |

too gave Frazier that round. I don't agree with the Olympic system that all
punches count the same, but at the same time, in the pros, body shots don't
consistently count the same as ones to the head, and that's wrong
too.Don Dunphy was so bad, an argument could be made for him knowing the
result and doing a voice over on the tape, but he ~is~ there, and some remarks
are obviously real time besides. Frazier would be crawling all over Ali and
there was silence, or Ali was "setting Joe up," or something like that, then Ali
would throw three punches, miss two, and "Joe's in trouble." I remember at the
beginning of the 11th in fight one, he said "Frazier's lost the timing he had
earlier," just before the drama started.It's unfortunate Frazier's web
site closed due to fools. I suppose the higher you are, the bigger the
target.I really see Marciano taking Tyson only because of his greater
mental stability. Also, Marciano would not have been afraid of him. Otherwise, I
think Mike would be too much for the Rock.|
