January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

this time, or even go for a knockout as to not leave the fight in the judges
hands, or is hopkins at the point where it just isnt there anymore, is this
going to be the same situation as jones v tarver where hopkins will come back
for the fight and lose convincingly, i am just hoping to hear some opinions on
this fight, other then that everyone take care and for everybody that responded
to my last post thank you very much, also mr anderson thank you for the e-mail
and sorry to drag this on but i still have to say and my dad would probably kill
me if he ever had known this, but my favorite baseball team the whitesox are in
the world series.... sorry pops i know you are a dodger fan. Take care everyone
and god bless|

Charles, I am picking Taylor by decision over Hopkins. Taylor has youth on his
side and it is time for a changing of the guard.Hopkins has had a great
career and he is one of the best the middleweights have ever had but his time, I
believe, is past.Jonathan, I am a Angels and Dodgers fan but the White
Sox are the best team the American League has to offer and quite likely better
than any team in the National League as well.Just like your dad Jerry
would let you know it that you like the White Sox better than our Dodgers. I, a
life time Angels fan thought that one play, when the umpire ruled the catcher
dropped the ball on a third strike and the batter made it on base and he was
able to score, that the catcher really didn't catch it and my fellow Angels fans
would not be happy with me saying it but I believe the call was fair and the
better team won the right to go to the world seris.I think it has been
over forty years since the White Sox have been in a world seris so this is a
special event and I will be rooting for them to win.The Angels had a
good season and it is always worth it if they find a way to be better than the
Yankees.|

|10/18/05 12:22:06 AM|Willard|Florida||a||||10|Noam, first off, he was in the
hospital because of his high blood pressure, like that other poster said. And it
wasn't several months. It was about one month.When he fought Bonavena,
he was green. He had something like 11 professional fights. He wasn't in his
prime.Actually, I believe it was 10 knockdowns, not 11. And 8 were at
the hands of George Foreman. To say that he's weak against big punchers is
ridiculous. Foreman was one of the 3 hardest punchers in heavyweight history.
You also forget the fact that he got up after EVERY SINGLE knockdown. Your boy
Muhammad Ali would have had the same fate as Norton and Frazier if he had fought
Foreman like they did.|
|10/18/05 12:27:39 AM|Willard|Florida||a||||10|I'd also like to add that Ali
didn't escape unscathed, either. He couldn't walk right, and was urinating blood
after their first fight, and was almost killed in the third one. He hit a blind
Joe Frazier with 1000 punches in the last 3 rounds of Manila, and HE wanted to
quit the fight. He told Dundee to cut his gloves off at the end of Round 14.
That fight also is the main reason why Ali is in the condition he is today.|
|10/18/05 01:34:29 AM|Noam|same||same||||10|Willard - Joe's high blood pressure
was exacerbated by the fight. He says so himself. You should buy your man Joe's
autobiography because it's a good read.Joe admits (in the book) he felt
exhausted and drained and he lost 10 to 15 pounds fighting Ali. Joe says he
couldn't stand and couldn't urinate and couldn't walk after the fight. Blood
pressure wasn't the cause of those impairments. His eyes were puffed and
sensitive to light. So they kept the shades drawn for him. For relief Joe had to
stick his head in a sink filled with ice. His body shut down after the fight.
That was the diagnosis. He couldn't leave the hotel room.Dr Campbell
said that he need to be hospitalized for all these conditions. He was in St
