about styles. Ali beat Foreman and Norton beat Ali (and gave him hard fights
twice more). Frazier and Norton beat Jerry Quarry (although Norton caught Jerry
on the way down), Frazier doing it twice, but Jerry would have had a better
chance of beating Foreman than either Frazier or Norton. I don't think Jerry
could have ever beaten Ali unless he was in his prime and Ali was over the hill
like against Leon Spinks. Ali won almost every round against Jerry in both
fights and Lyle and Shavers came close to beating Ali and both lost to Jerry. |
|8/8/02 10:50:57 PM|Daryl |Bakersfield||calbreese@aol.com||||10|Jerry gave Ali
too much respect & he never really pressed the attack, preferring mostly to
counterpunch. Foreman ducked Jerry for very good reasons, he said, "I dodged
him purposely." He goes on to say about Jerry, "He chose to go toe to toe with
Ellis & Frazier....if he had only switched tactics, he would have been the
Heavyweight Champion of the World." AND, geocities.com says a fantasy Lewis -
Quarry match...................has Lewis' jab being counter well by Jerry's
counterpunching. Jerry would stay busy throughout the fight and steal some
close rounds. Prediction....Quarry by split decision. Good to be here!|

ABILITY FOR SURE,SOMETIMES WE TEND TO MAKE HIM SUPER HUMAN,BUT YES I REALLY
WISHED JERRY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE TITLE SHOT VS FOREMAN IN 73' OR 1974, IT
WOULD HAVE ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS,WIN OR LOSE,JQ DESERVED THAT SHOT,
ESPECIALLY WINNING THE 12 ROUND TITLE ELIMINATIONS VS LYLE AND SHAVERS. YOU ARE
SUPPOSED TO GET YOUR SHOT!!! NOT JOSE ROMAN, NOT JEAN PIERRE COOPMAN, NOT RON
STANDER, NOT TERRY DANIELS, NOT RICHARD DUNN,FOR ALL THE MONEY FOREMAN WAS
OFFERED,AND HE WAS ALLEGEDLY BROKE,WE SHOULD HAVE GOT TO SEE IT, I DO NOT CARE
IF FOREMAN SCORED AN EARLY ROUND KNOCKOUT,I'D HAVE RATHER SEEN JERRY IN THERE,
THEN SEE HIM LOSE TO FRAZIER LATER IN JUNE'74. THE BOXING PUBLIC WAS ALL FOR
IT,AND OF COURSE THIS IS ALL HINDSIGHT, WHAT IF DUNDEE HAD NOT HAVE CUT ALI'S
GLOVE, WHEN COOPER CLIPPED HIM, TO GET THE REPRIEVE, THAT ALONE WOULD HAVE
CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY,|
|8/9/02 01:20:10 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Boxing News and the BBC in England
proved with the original film footage and radio footage for the Cooper-Clay
fight in 1963 that the time in between rounds was around 60 seconds give or take
a couple. It has been proved that this story of a long gap in between rounds was
a myth that has grown and grown over the years. Apparently (according to him)
Angelo did help the tear along a little but this did not give them more time.
That is what I read and I remember Boxing News have asked that's this issue be
dead and buried as it is untrue. Ali would have beaten him regardless of the
bell going anyway - he was the Black Superman.|

answer to your question on whether there is a difference between a heavy hitter
like Foreman, and a sharp, high velocity puncher, here's what the uncontested
authority on taking a punch, George Chuvalo, once said when asked to compare
Frazier and Foreman: " When Frazier hit you, it was like being rammed by a Chevy
at 100 miles an hour; with Foreman, it was like being hit by a semi at 50."
Pick your poison. |

I REALLY DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS, FROM WHAT I HEARD THE BELL SAVED ALI,WHO TOOK
A REAL GOOD LEFT HOOK FROM "ENERY"! AND WAS NOT AT ALL IN GOOD SHAPE,SO ANGIE
TORE THE GLOVE AND THEY HAD A HARD TIME GETTING ANOTHER ONE TO THE RING,I DID
NOT READ THIS IN A MAGAZINE, I WAS TOLD BY AN VERY ADEPT OLT TIMER,BUT I KNOW
