CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Dear Slade: I have a tape of that one it
was they 1975 version: JERRY Q. was not near as competetive on that one, as the
one in 1974, and the 1974 superstars, had better atheletes, i think one big
difference, was 74' he had just ko'd SHAVERS ( WHO BY THE WAY RAN A 10.5 HUNDRED
IN THE SUPERSTARS) AND WAS IN SHAPE AND ON A HIGH, AND THE 75' VERSION, HE HAD
NOT FOUGHT IN 8 MONTHS AFTER THE SECOND FRAZIER LOSS, AND MAYBE ON A LOW. THEY
IRONIC THING,IS MOE (JIMMY) TOLD ME JERRY WOULD HAVE WON THE WHOLE THING IF THEY
WOULD HAVE HAD IT IN 1969.WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE SEEN IT.|

rather easily, piling up the points round after round and finishing with a
flurry to win by late round TKO. Holyfield would be scrappy, but simply
outgunned. He would try to pressure Ali ala Smokin' Joe, but wouldn't succeed.
He would just get jabbed to death and pounded as he bored in. |

last night on ESPN classic Muhammed Ali verses Joe Frazier 3 and Ali/Quarry 2.
The Thrilla In Manila is always worth watching but once again it is
disappointing that the only fight they ever show featuring Jerry is Ali/Quarry
2, of course not one of Jerry's better performances. |

interesting Superstars stuff... In mentioning again Ali- Quarry, and our
current Ali-Holyfield, good points are made regarding what it took to really
challenge this guy. Opponents would almost surrender speed, height, movement.
Regardless of their package, they would have to pursue, get inside, slip, eat
jabs. Frazier, of course, was great at this, and was the only one to really put
dents in this guy's smile, which I enjoyed. Ali had to get arrogant and slip up
for a cunning boxer like Jerry to seize on him, which he nearly did. Jerry
bulled Frazier in their first fight in the first two rounds, and was amazing, I
think. This was his best chance against Ali, who might then be inclined to play
into JQ's counterpunching by pursuing. Jerry showed Ali a great deal of respect,
and did not build up in training to be the "Frazier type" to slug him. You're
right, this fight is overplayed, but for Ali fans and the race angle. You have
to be a boxing fan to know how good Jerry was, which is too bad. But if their
fight had turned to where Ali had to exchange and box JQ, the better side of
Jerry's game would've been displayed. He just couldn't put Ali in that positon.|

letter campaign together to ESPNCL. Coming up is Jerry's fight with Norton;
another example of using Jerry's loosing efforts for the ratings game. They use
to show the Jerry v Earnie Shavers fight, until Classic Sports was bought out by
ESPN. That's when it became, all too often, the Ali & opponents show. I'm going
to petition them to show Jerry v Shavers, Foster, Lyle, Bodell, Frazier 1 and
others.|
|7/25/02 02:00:24 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|That is a good
idea to lobby ESPN to show other fights besides the same old tired ones we have
seen a millon times. I am looking forward to watching Jerry verses Norton
though because I only have parts of it on my highlight tape and that fight was a
good one even though Jerry lost.|

CA||Sonia81@aol.com||||10|ok here goes, we are trying to find the lyrics or even
the record "Daddy Who Daddy Cool" by Robie Porter, its a song our father sang to
us when we were kids, tried to find it for his services, but couldn't. So
thought maybe someone out there could help. Dad, we love & miss you so much,
its so hard to believe that you are not with us any more. Uncle Jerry, we love
& miss you also. Take care of each other. |

would have a slight edge in all round ability and outbox holyfield for a
