toughness. For folks on the outside, boxing appeared to be Frazier and Ali,
and a faceless pack until Foreman and Norton gained credibilty by beating both,
and Holmes took over later. Quarry, other than being the White Hope who almost
did, did not get the public respect those five champions got. But what he did
accomplish, what he gave, what he had, and the damn good fighters he did beat,
I'm glad it's not as much a secret now as it once was. I hope this is not a
stupid question: "The Great White Hype", with Samuel L.Jackson, is playing
somewhere on cable. Is this flick a swipe at Jerry? |

CONTENDER, SEP 72 ISSUE HE WAS MOVED DOWN TO #4(2ND LOSS TO ALI). AND OCT 72 #5

SELF FROM 1972 YEARLY RATINGS. FROM SEP 67 TO JUNE 75 RING MAGAZINE ONLY HAD 37
TOTAL HEAVYWEIGHTS, YOU REALLY EARNED YOUR RATING WITH RING MAGAZINE, IRONICALLY

|8/4/02 01:28:50 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|In an excellent match up the smaller
Charles takes the fight with the Gregorio Peralta-Foreman match in mind. He aims
to use his speed and cunningness to take George into the latter rounds.The first
two stanzas see the viscious Foreman deck Charles twice only for Ezzard to get
up each time shaking his head "I'm alright". In the third and fourth as Foreman
tires Charles begins opening up and landing razor sharp combinations making the
big guy look pedestrian. As round 7 enters Charles begins to take the lead,
boxing, bouncing and slipping punches. It's all going the way of the underdog
until a sneaky in close left hand renders Charles almost senseless, guard down
against the ropes. A suddenly energised Foreman measures up the'Cincinatti
Cobra' and unleashes a frightening torrent of savage hooks. the ref jumps in as
Ezzard crumples to the ground for the count of 70.in the next round Joe
Frazier takes on Mike Tyson.|
|8/4/02 07:35:04 PM|Joe Krause|Chicago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|Tyson and
Frazier would be a war. The difference between the fighters was heart because
both would hurt each other. Frazier would out gut Tyson who never won a fight
where someone stood up to him. Frazier by KO in 6|
|8/5/02 02:19:14 PM|Kent|La Habra, ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I also think
Tyson verses Frazier would be a war but I think Tyson would be too strong for
Joe so I pick Tyson by knockout in the third round.|
