January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

after he beat Spencer in 1968. Where as ring magazine had JQ NO.2 citing Ali as
the undetroned Champ and Joe Frazier the no.1 contender, Kent( Curly Q. Link
THEY GLUE of the original defunct fearless leaders club). I agree with Noam and
Duran was an alltime warrior. I can forget New Orleans, When past his prime he
takes the most feared pound for pound fighter of the time Marvin Hagler,and
loses by 1 point, and I believe a draw on 1 card, Duran was an alltime great, I
very much felt for the fans in New Orleans on that one, But I also have to
believe there was a lot more to that situation then Duran taking a walk (DON
KING MAYBE????)|

that he was fighting out of his natural weight division against Leonard when
that happened. Duran claims that Leonard was fighting like a sissy (or similar)
and he'd just had enough and waved him away with 'No mas.' Doesn't excuse it,
sure, but it adds context, especially seeing that Duran wasn't physically
injured. He claims he was merely exasperated at Leonard's style in that fight.
It was more a protest about Leonard, rather than quitting because he was beat.
Duran was one of the greatest warriors of all time, any division, no doubt.
Using your Duran rule, Kent, we must also rule Tyson out for quitting.
How many times did he quit ? The last guy he quit against, McBride, wouldn't
have held a candle to Leonard, despite the weight difference. But I don't think
you're writing Duran off entirely, Kent.Jimmy: re the Ring magazine,
they do call it the annual rankings, and they make a point of doing that. I
still suspect that the annual rankings are a compilation of all that year's
rankings. What do you think, Massimo, since you put me on to that site ? Are
they annual rankings or just the rankings for December ?Trivia, this
time on anatomy. Which part of the human body is capable of predicting the
future ? I don't think any of you guys will get this one. None of you guys are
doctors.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I very much understand yur thinking Noam,
but it is kinda funny how the December current rankings of the magazines, are
they exact same as the years annual rankings I can send you the lists for i have
done a ton of research on the rankings for ring magazine, for overall they were
the best, One underrated (and very good) were they old top 15 for world boxing
and international boxing of the 60's and 70's which were actually the same
thing|
|9/23/05 10:44:51 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Jimmy - I take your word for it, of
course. It looks like The Ring has placed its final rankings of the year - the
December ones - as its annual ranking. While it seems a bit strange, December is
the finish line for each particular year.So therefore my past posts have
stated on good authority that Buster Mathis was NEVER in The Ring rankings for
the month of December, EVER. Seems like Buster closed down the year early
approaching December. Perhaps he snacked up on turkeys way before Xmas. Probably
explains his weight problem.Thanks for the info Jimmy.|
|9/23/05 10:47:31 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|I'll end the suspense on the trivia,
which you were all falling over yourselves to answer.The question: What
part of the body has the ability to predict the future ? Answer: The
nostrildamus ! Sorry..............|

the "nostrildamus" is a part of the human body. Anyway, I have some serious
doubts that Nostradamus could actually predict the future. Regarding the Ring
Magazine subject, listen to what Jimmy Dorsey has to say, he knows his stuff.|

agree with Duran's assesement that Leonard was fighting like a sissy as Leonard
was hitting him with good shots even if he was moving a lot. There is nothing
wrong with him fighting his fight and hitting and not getting hit.In
their first fight Leonard stood in and fought toe to toe with Duran and he lost
