January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

puncbed enough to win about four out of the ten rounds, with Tyson winning the
decision. In hindsight I think if Tillis would have been just a little bolder
and just a little bit more offensive minded, he would have beaten young Tyson
and exposed Tyson's lack of championship heart back then. There were times in
that fight when Tyson looked utterly lost.Can you imagine what kind of
fighter we would have if you could put Jerry Quarry's heart in Mike Tyson's
body, unbeatable!|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|HI STEVE (AKA SHEMP) I'VE been off the
site a while, JERRY QUARRY was officially beating Chuvalo 4-1-1, 4-1-1, 3-3,
respectfully so if he could have and would have finished that bout,its okay to
say Jerry would have probaly won at least a split decision, on round basis
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN scoring system. Tyson did not surprise me, what big
punchers did he ever beat? BOWE,MERCER,MORRISON,FOREMAN,MOORER ETC. OKAY lets
say he would have ran rough shot over them all, and been favored to do so,i'd
rather see him in there with a few gutsy punchers then say FRANK BRUNO, Again
who was Mr. Tyson's big win?|

flatten McBride in one round. Oh well... I had seen McBride fight once before
and he is truly terrible. I'm fat, out of shape have a bad hip and a little
arthritis in my hands and I still think I can whip his ass right now. Someone
mentioned Tyson was shot when he came out of prison, I think that's a pretty
fair statement. He has been fight on vapors for the last ten years and, you can
see it in his most recent fights, just doesn't care anymore. As for Tyson
taking anyone for a ride or trying to deceive people. Hell, he's just trying to
make a buck, and if people want to pay 35-45 bucks to watch so he can rake in 5
or 6 million more power to him. Kent, I did see the Tillis fight and thought at
times Tillis could have at least done some damage when, as you said Tyson looked
lost in there. Another telling fight Tyson had was with Bonecrusher Smith. A
mostly boring fight up until the 11 and 12 rounds when the Crusher finally threw
some meaningful punches and hurt Tyson. If he had done that earlier in the
fight we might not be talking about Tyson now. |

shining moments in his career. I still remember when he destroyed the strong
Carl "The Lie" Williams in less than one round with an explosive left hook. That
was the peak of his glory. I swear, in that very moment I thought he was the
greatest of all times, the invincible. I thought he was going to retire
undefeated. One fight later he lost to someone named Giacomo Douglas. Nowadays
even my mother could whip his ass with no sweat.|

fight..I trust your take on it more then the newspapers.What gives with
these stiffs taking Tysons punches? Most of these type fighters are picked as
opponents because they fold as soon as they're hit. You think Tysons power is
gone too?|

how the mighty have fallen. You're dead-on about opponent selection---these
guys have been KOed by lightly regarded competition and hand-picked to make Mike
Tyson look like his game is back. Instead, he's ended up on the losing end,
again. He landed punches---and didn't score a knockdown, much less a knockout.
Early in his career, good fighters were folding when Tyson hit them with the
same volley of punches he landed on McBride. I honestly believe James Douglas
opened the door for everyone else by winning the mental game---Douglas figured
something out---that Tyson is just a man, short for a heavyweight, never tested,
winning on intimidation---the bully factor. Douglas thought to himself, why not
me? I could win this. Instead of just trying to survive, or getting scared
into an early KO like Spinks, Buster Douglas took the fight to Tyson. From that
