January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

know, Terry Daniels was not quite six feet tall, and weighed about 190 lbs.?
Did you know Frazier outweighed him considerably, by about 20 pounds? Did you
know that after losing to Frazier, Daniels had four more fights in 1972 and lost
all four? Did you know Terry Daniels career record was 33-25-1? I thought
you'd like to know. Kent, the "tradition" of a couple easy defenses in between
tough fights shouldn't wave in a stiff. Come on now, you know better than that.
This is clearly ridiculous. A slow, 22 year old, unaccomplished, unknown
fighter outweighed by 20 pounds? Frazier had him in every single category.
What a crock. One "Did You Know" question that I do not have the answer for---
apparently, Daniels "earned" this shot at Frazier by beating the #9 ranked
heavyweight. Who the hell did he beat? Who could this have been? |

take a Volkswagen into the Indianapolis 500 unless you know a shortcut." Did
you know, the person credited with this quote is Mrs. Ron Stander. Did you
know, Ron Stander was ranked # 30 in the world (no Kent, that's not # 3, please
add a zero, it's # 30) when Frazier granted him the title shot? Did you know,
Stander finished with a career record of 36-21-3? Now, another question I DON'T
have the answer to: Is the combined won-loss record of Frazier's title defenses
the worst ever? What about the career won-lost record of all of Frazier's
opponents, title defenses or not? This guy fought some very questionable
competition, that's for damn sure. |

Daniels was a cream puff, how many cream puffs did Joe Louis defend against? A
lot, Joe Louis' bum of the month club wasn't called that for nothing.
Does that mean Louis wasn't great, no way!I just saw again Ali's
defense verses Zora Folley. Folley had the same stand up boxer style as Joe
Louis and he was about the same size as Louis too. Yet Folley, even on the down
side of his career, gave Ali some difficulty, tagging the greatest at Ali's peak
on quite a few occasions before losing by seventh round knockout.Louis,
who carried more of a punch than Folley woud have given Ali perhaps his toughest
fight ever with the outcome having a high degree of doubt,|
|7/12/05 04:52:02 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|You take on
some cream-puffs and you're also supposed to take on the tigers too. At least
Joe got half of it right. Look, Ali fought Leon Spinks, who had about 7 or 8
pro fights and Spinks beat him! Of course, Ali was old at that point, and
Spinks was a well known Olympic champion who fought on national television a few
times before he fought against Ali. But along with the Wepners and the Spinks,
Ali also fought every viable contender in site, some more than once. Ditto for
Larry Holmes. The issue with Frazier is that he didn't fight a few easy marks
to stay busy---it seems as though this was his steady diet. Ron Stander and
Terry Daniels. Washed up Ellis instead of a live opponent. Heck, I'm still
waiting for the rematch with Cummings. |

problem is that you read half the post and then make assumptions, which usually
turn out to be wrong. I didn't call you a homosexual; I said that your abusive
and irratic behaviour was consistent with that of a repressed homosexual. Given
your subsequent announcements of dedication and affection for Fandom, my comment
was prophetic. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.Now
regarding Quackin' Joe Frazier. I was going to say that Howard C. made some very
insightful comments, but Mrs Fandom-Forest gets upset when I praise Howard. So I
can't do that. Quarry and Frazier, same age, turned pro same year. Yet
they took different paths. One explored new horizons and took risks; the other
doubled up on fighters he'd already beaten. One fought often; the other didn't.
One didn't duck hard punchers; the other.....oops, not allowed to use the 'd'
word. It upsets the Dead Parroters. Mrs Fandom-Forest: do you deny that
you once said that you'd been absent from this site for months as there was no
web in jail ? Do you also deny on another occasion that you said that you were a
