think it should read,"amends" the 2000 Muhammad Ali Reform Act," instead of how
it is written on the home page of TJQF. Because amends means adds to the law
that was passed that year and the amends to was brought out in 2003 but didn't
get to the floor of the senate for a vote.I agree that a national
commision goes a long way towards the improvement of boxing here in the U.S. and
other governments could pass similar laws to improve it in their countries.|

Jerry Quarry was mismanaged on his way up. A friend of mine who is a boxing
writer, visited Jack Quarry a few months back. And even Jack Quarry now admits
he was out of his league when he handled Jerry's early career. Jerry for many
years before he died, admitted the same.It's my understanding that when
Jerry fought Jimmy Ellis he had a back injury, and the fight should have been
postponed. Jerry fought Ellis before he fought Frazier. The reason Jerry gives
why it was not postponed was that the purse was so big and Jack Quarry and
Johnny Flores never saw that much money before. The fight was still relatively
close. Jerry staggered Ellis in a late round (I think the 13th), but he could
not follow up. It was a terrible fight.Jerry's orignal trainer when he
turned pro was Bill Slayton, who later handled Ken Norton when Eddie Futch and
Norton parted ways. My recollection of Bill Slayton was that he was a gentleman,
and even after he was let go by Quarry's father: Slayton still had fond feelings
for Jerry, and he felt that Jerry was mishandled, at least in the beginnig of
his career.|

bring the beer? Oh and give me the address so i can look it up on mapquest. One
other thing, i dont speak Italian, will that be a problem?Ed|
|3/11/05 03:01:18 AM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Ed-You don't need my
address. Why ? Because I'm very famous in Roma, about as famous as Shaq is in
Miami, a true Roman legend. There are only two guys more famous than me in Roma:
Francesco Totti and Giovanni Paolo II. All you have to do is to ask:" I'm
looking for M.G.L. (Massimo Giulio Leonardo)". They will answer (or respond) "
Aaaah, the boss !". When I walk in the street I have to put black spectacles
on...But when you are 5'6" 135 pounds is hard to hide. The language is not a big
problem, not a big deal. Most Italian speak a bit of English, at least some sort
of Italo-English, it's the language we "learn" in school. I didn't learn
"ain't,chump,bum,ass and wimp " in school tough, I learnt them on here. Muhammad
Ali' taught me a few words such as "sucker and humble". Yeah, Muhammad Ali'. I'm
waiting for his fight with this guy Ken "Who" Norton. Ali' is given 7-1 favorite
against this marine, he should not be fighting this unrated duck ! Norton had
his ass kicked by Luis Garcia 3 years ago. I think it is not going to take more
than five rounds for Ali' to destroy this bum !|

Ken has no chance in hell !|

you didn't learn, "whoever smelt it, dealt it," in school? Very important
English term.|
|3/11/05 11:54:43 AM|Massimo |Roma ||4||||10|English professor-I
understand every single word in that sentence but I'm not sure I understand what
that sentence means as a whole. |
