January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

push Fonda under a train, wishing her a painful and slow death. I guess it's
easier to put the boot in to a 'soft' target like Noam rather than Forrest who
Kent looks after. Personally, Gerry. I think Fonda is the lowest form of
life in the universe. Did you know that she's about to embark on a magical bus
trip to protest the Iraq War ? It's a bit late to protest, isn't it ? The wars
over. Its an insurgency now. The reason she didnt protest earlier when the war
was on was because Jane was launching her book. Gotta put commercial needs in
front of saving Iraq, I suppose. Prioritize, I say. Whats Jane
protesting against about Iraq ? The fact that its citizens can vote ? That women
are no longer second class citizens ? Bad America, removing a murderous tyrant
and installing democracy and rights for women. Gerrys throwing his handbag
around in protest. Noam: I enjoyed your stats. They do tell a story.
I did a rough calculation of career rounds fought by a few boxers - Holmes 575
rounds, Ali 546, Louis 429, Patterson 420, Quarry 415, Bonavena 409, Terrell
375, Shavers 364, Ellis 342, Norton 314, Liston 271, Foreman 255, Marciano 241,
Lewis 225, Douglas 224, Frasier 214, Bowe 175, Lyle 169.These might not
be precise because I did it in a hurry and used Noams stats for Ali and Frasier.
Stiil, its interesting. Lyle only fought 169 rounds. I guess because most
finished early with his big punch. Holmes fought more rounds than Ali. Jerry is
right up there in history.Whilst the other guys were busy, Joe Frasier
didn't fight a lot. Boxing was more than just money and celebrity for guys like
Holmes and Ali. They loved the sport and couldnt get enough of it. |

Kents being sneaky here. He never says bad things about Ali because he lets
others do it for him. When the person calling himself Forrest rejoiced in
Muhammad's poor health and the fact that Frasier was boasting and taking credit
for it, Kent didn't say anything.Yet if anyone says anything about Frasier, Kent
jumps on top of them. Its open slather with Kent on Ali, but its mud racking if
you post something on Frasier. Kent is sneaky and smooth. |

think of the war in Vietnam, realize that Fonda standing on an anti aircraft gun
was a slap in the face of our fighting troops in Viet Nam. This was a weapon
that was used to kill American servicemen and I totally understand why it is
hard for people to accept her apologies. At least she is alive to apologize
while others who were shot down by that very gun are not alive to discuss
it.I too have questions when our leaders commit troops in some foreign
war thousands of miles away but it still doesn't take the harm, no matter how
naively she did it, that Fonda did. She needed to direct her protests at the
leaders of our country not the troops. The troops don't set policy, the leaders
do.I will say it again here, a lot of the war protesters of the 1960s
owe a collective apology to our troops. It is one of the most shameful periods
in our history the way the returning troops were treated and Fonda's actions in
North Vietnam were along the same lines, shameful.|

actualy suported the Vietcong when she went to Hanio. Clay oposed the war and
did not suport the NVA. Thats the diference.Is Gery saying troops should
pull out of Iraq. We have tossed its government out and replaced it with a new
one, and ruined its infrastructure. We have a duty to stay until we restore
order and fix it. Puling out as Gery wants would be cowardly.|

sometimes I get tired of all of the mudslinging one way or the other. Believe
me, I have no adgenda against Ali. I have no control over someone who says
negative things about him.I feel Ali has plenty of support here without
me adding my two cents worth while I believe Frazier is at times unfairly put
down.Notice I have not mentioned anything about the personal failings of
either Frazier or Ali other than to point out some people tend to try and find
anything negative they can about Frazier.I will even go as far as to say
