Your are probably right 8 or 9 rounds. Although, it would be an interesting
fight, especially in the early rounds. If Tyson does not get discouraged, it go
15 rounds. But,that is a big IF.|

done kissing up to you", what's that ? Iowa slang ? I'm not sure I have
understood what you meant...Up ? Up where ? Bah !I understand the Roman much
better, aoh ! Frazier gave Ali' THREE GREAT FIGHTS, not TWO but THREE !!!!!!
The second one on 28 Jenuary 1974 was actually very close. Also I have seen the
second Ali-Norton fight once and I honestly think that Norton won by a couple of
points. I should see that fight at least two more times to be sure tough but I
can't because my recorder was out of order when ESPN gave this legendary fight
(SNORT). Catcha ya later ! Se sentimo dopo (Roman slang). Se beccamo (Roman
slang again).Can your Calabrese wife understand the Roman dialect (it's
almost equal to standard Italian anyway) ? My best greetings to my Italian
sister (your wife). PS: I have to say that Mike Tyson behave very kindly
yesterday in that Italian show and everyone appreatiaced (spelling) it. He
didn't even bite Paolo Bonolis. He behave like a good guy yesterday. Bravo
Michele Geraldo !|

interesting.Tyson,at his PEAK,was almost as hard to hit ,with his Gus D'amotto
training,as was Frazier.He may have had faster hands ,and probably hit harder.I
like him to possibly have KO'D Ali in the early rounds.Remember,different eras.

|3/3/05 02:10:33 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|ForrestI haven't had time to
read the book you just posted. You mentioned some guy named Job in another post.
I guess he didn't fight Joe either.KentSo you're saying that
anyone who didn't beat Quarry wasn't suitable to fight Frazier. By the way, if
you stopped to read what I wrote, I agreed with you about Frazier fighting
Quarry again rather than Lyle and Shavers at that point. I then asked whether it
is actually true that the Frazier and Quarry second fight was a recognized
eliminator as I couldn't find verification of this. Forrest took offense. Yet
you know it wasn't meant that way, yet you haven't the balls to come out and say
so. You also asked me, Kent, about the second Foreman fight. Frazier had
to fight him a second time if he was to redeem his reputation after the first
fight flogging. In Joe's mind he couldn't retire without trying to avenge the
loss where he got knocked down six times. A loss that put his suspect jaw in
perspective.By the way, guys, this is a Jerry Quarry site. The way most
of you moan on about Frazier it seems you don't recognize that. That you can't
even acknowledge the obious - that Joe ducked many fighters of his era - says
more about you than your scribblings do. Like Forrest, you have trouble
rationally discussing topics involving Joe.Another thing. Has Forrest
ever begun or positively contributed to a discussion on this site ? Seems to me
he just sits back and snipes negatively every now and then when someone
displeases him. Mr Negative. Anyway, Liston, Terrell, Mac Foster, Lyle,
Shavers, et al, according to you guys, were bums not good enough to fight
Frazier. |
|3/3/05 02:28:45 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|SteveRead my post that upset
Forrest and then tell me that he is not hot tempered, too.Anyway, like
you, I think Frazier is in the Top 15. I don't think Ali is the greatest. I
think he is in the Top 3, though. I am not criticizing Frazier because I
adore Ali. I just think Frazier is overrated, especially by (some) rednecks
whose only reason for loving him is because they hate Ali.I don't adore
Ali. Personally, I didn't like all that stuff he went on about when he was
younger. I didn't like his politics. I don't like his religion. And I think he
