|10/24/02 07:33:02 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|My 2 cents on
Foreman-Quarry. In all respects to Jerry, I think Foreman would have won.
Similar to Foreman-Chuvalo. In my book, George was a great one, Jerry a very,
very, good one. I think the combination of George's size, Jerry's tender skin,
George's power, and a few other things would have conspired against Jerry. With
all that being said, I would not have been shocked to hear Jerry won. He was
that good a competitor and that game a fighter.|

Foreman seems to be a recurring theme around here but here goes, again. One
thing Jerry would have to do is to get respect early in a fight with Foreman. He
would have to tag him hard in the very first round, and probably he would have
to do it more than once, something Frazier and Norton were not able to do as
they both got hurt early and they were never really able to recover. The fact
that Foreman would wind up and telegraph his punches would be to Jerry's
advantage and Jerry could take advantage of this with his superior speed by
moving side to side and in and out, beating Foreman to the punch. Remember
Jerry took a couple of bombs from Earnie Shavers in their fight and than he
knocked Shavers out just after this. Jerry also took some bombs from Ron Lyle
and Mac Foster and he won those fights handily. The point is, Jerry did well
against big punchers. I think Jerry could take Foreman's best shots and not go
down. Remember, Chuvalo was still on his feet when his fight was stopped
against Foreman (when was he ever off them?)and I think Jerry would not have
been knocked down too. But could Foreman cut Jerry? This was a recurring
problem during his career as half of his losses were due to cuts and it is a
possible ending to a Foreman fight. |

well taken, but I don't think Jerry had superior speed. Also the Foreman of the
SECOND Frazier fight had an awesome jab and did not wind up -- thanks to Gil
Clancy training him. They were both good men.|
|10/24/02 03:23:29 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|John, Jerry
was fast, even at the end of 1973, when he knocked out Shavers. He must of hit
Shavers with 20 quick unanswered punches, all within a few seconds leading up to
the knockout. He was also beating Lyle to the punch throughout their bout and
Lyle was as quick as Foreman, as Lyle proved in their slugfest. In a bout with
Foreman, Jerry may not have been as fast as he was in say, 1968, but he was
certainly faster than Foreman, one of the advantages of Jerry being a small
heavyweight. John, you make a good point about Foreman having a good jab and
that is why he might have cut Jerry. |

Quarry and the Battle of the Bouncers, is scheduled for Saturday, November 30.
It is a benefit for Puglistica Dementia and it is going to feature bouts between

SPEED, HE WAS DEFINETLY FASTER THAN GEORGE,I KNOW JERRY HAD BILLS TO PAY, BUT IF
HE COULD HAVE REFRAINED FROM FRAZIER IN 1974, I THINK THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE
DEMANDED HE GOT A TITTLE SHOT, QUARRY-FOREMAN WOULD HAVE ANSWERED ALL THE 3
DECADES OF QUESTIONS|
