AND MARK, WHAT DO MICHAEL DOKES, RIDDICK BOWE,MIKE TYSON,TONY AYALA, JAKE
LAMOTTA, ALL HAVE IN COMMON? ANSWER: THEY BEAT WOMAN! AND YOU GUYS FEEL
SYMPATHY FOR RIDDICK BOWE. WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS? IS THERE ANY SYMPATHY FOR
BOWES WIFE, THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN? PLEASE REMEMBER FOLKS, I DIDN'T START
THIS ONE. MARK FEELS SORRY FOR RIDDICK BOWE, AND KENT AGREES. I FEEL LIKE
VOMITTING|

wasn't aware that Bowe beat his wife. As you know, if that is what he is in
trouble for now, I said I didn't know the circumstances of what he did. Yes,
beating one's spouse is a terrible thing but to stereotype boxers as being more
likely to do this is just streching the truth. Are there some boxers who do
this, of course there are however, it is a problem that rears its ugly head in
all professions, social economic status, and race. All in all, I would bet my
bottom dollar that the overwhemling majority of boxers do not beat their
spouces. CARL, YOU BROUGHT THAT STUFF BACK?! OH MY GOD! I AM GOING TO GET A
BELLY LAUGH OUT OF A LOT OF THAT STUFF. |

boxing. Why do you have an interest in this site? You seem to like shooting
everyone down in flames.|
|1/29/03 11:36:41 AM|FOREST WARD|SOUTH CAROLINA||JOEKEVIN@CS .COM||||7|EVREN, I
HAVE AN INTEREST IN THIS SITE BECAUSE I AM A JERRY AND MIKE QUARRY ADMIRER, AND
BECAUSE I AM A BOXING HISTORIAN.THOSE RECENT REMARKS BY MARK AND KENT ABOUT
FEELING SORRY FOR RIDDICK BOWE BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO PRISON;IGNORE THE FACT
THAT HE IS GOING TO PRISON FOR COMMITTING A VIOLENT CRIME AND BEING FOUND
GUILTY. AND THIS IS NOT THE 1ST TIME HE HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF A VIOLENT CRIME
AGAINST A WOMAN. BUT BECAUSE OF HIS CELEBRITY STATUS HE IS GIVEN A FREE PASS TO
GO OUT AND COMMITT MORE VIOLENT CRIMES, AND PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD FEEL SORRY FOR
HIM, AND NOT A WORD IS MENTIONED ABOUT HIS VICTIMS. EVREN, I WILL ASK YOU, WHAT
DOES FEELING SORRY FOR RIDDICK BOWE A FEMALE PREDATOR HAVE TO DO WITH THIS SITE?
I THOUGHT IT WAS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING BOXING; AND REMEMBERING THE FIGHTING
QUARRY'S. WELL, AS LONG AS OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BRING UP OTHER TOPICS,
WELL THEN I WILL RESPOND TO THEM ACCORDINGLY. ONE MORE ITEM, I AM NOT ANTI-
EVERYTHING IN BOXING. RECENTLY I SUBMITTED THAT MIKE QUARRY IS A HEROE OF MINE.
AND THAT IS NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING HE DID IN THE RING. IT IS BECAUSE HE
OVERCAME A SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEM ONE DAY AT A TIME. AND HE HELPS OTHERS|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|FINALLY: Got to see some great footage of
ESPN "Classic". Too bad no one could find a Quarry-Mathis tape.I'd seen the
Foreman-Roman bout "live".and QUARRY-WOODY was they undercard from Las Vegas.I'd
have to say Foreman was the hardest puncher.Mike QUARRY BEAT ROMAN,ROMAN ALso
saved JERRY'S LIFE IN ALASKA,does anyone have any old world or international
boxing mags from 1976-77, Was told that Alaska incident is in one of them on a
Thomas J.Thornton post.Also are very concerned how Roman is faring today.|
|1/29/03 02:13:54 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Riddick Bowe ran an anti-gun
programme in Washington. Should we remember people for just their downpoints ? I
personally do not feel sorry for Riddick Bowe. With that I agree with you. It is
however sad to see the plight of this former great fighter follow the footseps
of far too many a former champion.BY THE WAY..IF PEOPLE ON THIS SITE FEEL SORRY
FOR HIM THEN WHAT IS IT YOU..?IT IS THEIR CHOICE. I feel you are over
scrutininzing what people are saying and being harsh on them. You seem like a
real contradiction to me.. you say you are a boxing historian. Do you study
boxing's past but are opposed to it's morals?Do you study all things negative in
