January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Either Frazier really ruined a good fighter with his dominating performance over
Daniels, or maybe, just maybe, Joe lacked a "quality opponent" here. Dogmeat?
I'll let Joe be the judge of that. Of course, one of those last 20 losses was
against Ron Stander, who also fought for the title against Frazier. |

an ally in WW2.Mao was worse. Nixon shook hands with him. Bush loved China.
Repubs still don't care what goes on there. Sorry, Pete, you can't have it
both ways.It may sound like I'm here to stir up trouble,but I'm just
answering my hate mail, and it's obvious I know alot more than some of
you.Ball's back in your court, or we can get back to sports. I did. |

competing website. I'm not sure I'd call it a website at all. It's a small thing
in Yahoo for the Quarrys, which I'd think Quarry fans might
appreciate...From what I've read, Marciano was the shortest reach at 68". He
took a lot of punches on the way in against most of the guys he fought. None
could match his stamina. I love to rewatch his fights with Walcott and Moore. |

interesting, but this place is really losing control lately. One guy posts in
riddles, another wants to talk about homosexual impulses. There has even been a
Delieverance reference. I know this a boxing site, at least I thought it was?
Let's get back to boxing before this place shuts down for good!|
|8/9/05 05:36:27 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|John - you are right, Marciano's reach
at 68" was shorter than Tyson's at 71". Please, if you detect any other errors,
tell me as I'd like to have an accurate list for my 'stats' file.
Thanks.Angelo - you know I agree with you on the Frazier
subject.Pete - no, I wasn't accusing Stallion of repressed
homosexuality. With Forest it was obviously that something was bugging him,
given his a brooding hatred of Ali and intolerance of other posters, and I was
guessing what was bothering him (after, I think, he gave a character assessment
of me).Putting my profiler's hat on regards Stallion, it is something
different. He's someone we already know on this site, upset at the way an older
guy here got treated by a younger guy. Stallion is of an earlier generation when
settling disputes was nobler and fairer and less violent than it is
today.The 'street cred' of which Stallion speaks is, sadly, outdated. If
an older boy knocked on the window of a younger boy today, with 'attitude', he'd
better take a knife and a gun, even if he is Bernard. Otherwise, it'd be HIM
getting slapped around. I like Stallion's world better, even though I'd guess
his message is aimed at me. |

Roadscholarette ? I couldn't find that word, not even in the best
dictionaries!!!!!! I guess it's slang.|
|8/9/05 10:07:30 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo - 'cred' means something like
'law of the street'. Rather than laws that are actually legislated and policed,
'cred' is the rule that applies among the polulace, usually petty street
criminals, not 'cosa nostra'.Italian Stallion is a guy in his 50s. He
drew the name from The Rocky era (if he was younger he'd probably call himself
'Doggy Dog Do' or similar). He comes from a trained and disciplined background -
military but more likely law enforcement - because he can suppress anger even in
the face of insults and he doesn't use foul language. He had an old
style education where you spelt correctly without needing a computer spell check
and you take pride in the presentation. Notice how he uses good grammer; not the
deliberately bad stuff of today's youth vandalizing our language. His
use of the term 'street cred' points to a law enforcement background because he
has knowledge of such things as a street cop would. He believes in good guys and
bad guys (just like cops do; military guys are good versus evil guys). Being
middle aged, he believes in old style discipline where the father makes the son
face up to his mistakes. Justice is meted out by the older youth to the younger
