George made in the neighborhood of $100 million by selling his share of
George Foreman grills (though he still promotes them). He, like Larry Holmes
obviously loved the sport and all the excitement, attention, etc., though
neither need the money. Larry's stayed consistently in shape, but George is fat
as a pie wagon, so he can't be doing much. Both may find that the sport they
love may not reciprocate. I think of the line in the movie, Devil's Advovate,
when Al Pacino (as satan) says, "Vanity - ~definitely~ my favorite
sin!"You act fine - no need to apologize. I appreciate your light heart
and sense of humor.|

more,I've talked to the few people around where I live now,that really know
anything about boxing and,We could not come up with anybody who was not in
absolutely tip-top shape when they took on Jerry Quarry,I witnessed "live" the
JERRY QUARRY JAMES J. WOODY bout,In Vegas. You really do not realize how fast
these pro's are till you see them up close.It was a extremly fast-paced brawl
for two rounds.Quarry was actually the undercard to FOREMAN-ROMAN closed
circuit,too bad it was not Foreman-Quarry.Would have settled over 30 years of
issues. Take Care!|

! I have no problem to apologize... It' s free ! I could apologize for the wars
between Rome and Annibale or for what the Turkeys did to the Greeks, some
timeago. I was sincere this time, anyway !Foreman has said he has
lost about 44 lbs in the last month and that he will be in shape as soon as
possible !|

Angelo. I couldn't agree with you more about the strange turn of events on this
site lately.I agree with the idea of having to register your e-mail name and
address.What's the harm in that? It would discourage all the nightcrawlers and
trogs we seem to be attracting.It's getting childish,it's becomming pretty
obvious that these people are using different e-mail names and addresses and
then,comically,they use the same exact language,speech patterns,opinions and
modes of attack on the same few people they seem to get fixated on.
I recently watched Tyson vs Hollyfield I and 2.I then watched Tyson vs. Berbeck
and Ruddock. The main difference in the outcome of those fights was ,the fear
factor. Hollyfield simply met tyson's charges in the middle of the ring with his
own combinations,then tied him up and proceeded to outmuscle him all over the
ring. I believe Jerry Quarry would not have given Hollyfield or Tyson the
advantage of the fear factor. I also believe he hit harder and faster than
Hollyfield,took at least as good a punch,had as good a rating as Hollyfield for
stamina,and the same refusal to be defeated.Remember,Jerry was never stopped for
any reason other than cuts. I would give Hollyfield a slight edge over
Quarry,only for the cut factor.If no cuts occurred,Jerry would out counter
punch,and outslug Hollyfield for a late round tko or a close decision.
I can also verify that Kent is a real,live person.He seems like a
reasonable,intellegent gentlemen whom I've had several conversations with. He
also has a pretty good sense of humor as he held his own insulting me and the
N.J. of speaking English.|

Larry Holmes is in shape. George always loved to eat. People think he
was slow footed in career one because he was in his mid 40s, and certainly ~no
one~ is AS fast in their 40s as in their 20s, but the difference isn't as much
as many think; a 65 year old has 85% the capacity of a 25 year old, all things
