January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

still a great champion in my book.|
|6/6/05 06:17:47 PM|steve |na||na||||10|Massimo,in terms of mental
toughness,consistent boxing skill levels over a long career,I would give Jerry
Quarry a shot at beating Tyson.At his best,Quarry took Earnie Shavers best
shots.I saw him get clocked at least three times in that first round,and not
even blink.I give Tyson an advantage in power,but nothing Quarry couldn't absorb
or roll with and neutrilize.I don't think Tyson could have taken Quarry's power
counter punches over fifteen ,or even twelve rounds. |
|6/6/05 06:34:36 PM|steve |na||na||||10|The point could be made that Tyson threw
combinations much faster than Shavers.However,Quarry was also very fast with
combination power punches,as shown against Frazier and Ron Lyle.|
|6/6/05 07:02:10 PM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Steve-I think Jerry Quarry in
his best days (Mac Foster, Shavers, Lyle) would have had a pretty good chance at
beating a prime Tyson (even if, honestly, I would have still bet on Tyson). I
think a prime Quarry would have beaten an after Desiree' Tyson most of the
times. Jerry would have told him "you don't bother me a bit" in the pre-fight
weight in like (or as) Evandro Camposando did and then kicked his ass. |
|6/6/05 07:14:37 PM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Something you all have surely
noted:Evandro Camposando was a type mistake ! I should have said Evandro
Camposanto. Sorry grande padre DANTE ! Good night, it's damn late here in
Paisaland and I gotta go (or get) to my huge bed (where I use to sleep
diagonally).|
|6/7/05 03:58:44 PM|Steve|na||na||||10|Massimo,Jerry Quarry was a master of the
stare down during the ref's instructions.If you want to see a really scary
dude,watch Quarry's stare down on any of his fight films.He would have intimated
Tyson,and handled his power during the first round,much as he did
Shavers,Lyle,and Joe Frazier. |
|6/7/05 04:38:15 PM|steve |N/A||na||||10|Pardon my spelling,I meant that Quarry
would have intimidated Tyson,because Quarry feared no one.Tyson won most of his
early fights on the fear factor alone.I often wonder who was the better all
round fighter,Quarry or Hollyfield. |
|6/7/05 05:26:40 PM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Steve-Yes, I saw Jerry's
glance in the Mac Foster fight and it was intimidating, but I find that Mike
Tyson's glance is intimidating too. If he looked right in my eyes in Bronswill
(spelling) at 3.12 in the morning, I think I would be scared. On the other hand,
the less (or the least) intimidating person on Earth is my mom, Anna Ursino from
Campobasso ( not exactly Los Angeles), Molise (not exactly California). She
wears a shoe size 35 in Italia (4 or 5 I guess in Wyoming) and has the smallest
hands I have ever seen in a adult human being (even a little smaller than mine)
and the body strenght of an average 7 years old male.I just saw the
already legendary Nicola Valuev vs Clifford Etienne fight. Clifford fought a
pretty good first round, but Nicola won easily by KOT 3. He is freaking big
(about the same size as Shaq)and can really punch. Clifford at 6'2" is the same
wiltness as my old friend at college Fabrizio (sorry, I don't know his surname)
and at 98.7 Kg, looked like an idrogen atom in comparison to Nicola. Very
honestly, I don't think there are many heavyweights outta there who could handle
this guy...John Ruiz ? Ah, Ah, Ah ?Hasim Rahman ? Mmmh, I
doubtMike Tyson ? Mmmh, more No, than YESVery honestly I could only
see Vitali Klitschko and maybe Giacomo Toney as winners against Nicola Valuev. |
|6/7/05 05:58:16 PM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|...And, very honestly, I don't think
my mom would have stopped Wilt...|
|6/7/05 10:17:58 PM|Steve|na||na||||10|Kent and Noam,what gives? I've been
waiting for you two guys to climb all over me for that blatent lie I told when I
said I predicted Hatton to beat Kosta Tzu,or whatever his name is.I actually
picked Kosta to walk through Hatton in a few rounds.|
|6/7/05 11:25:16 PM|steve |na||na||||10|Angelo,in terms of longevity of
sucessfull careers.Joe Frazier fought Ali the third time with all the
