January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Luke's Hospital treated by Dr James Giuffre where he was laid on a bed of ice
and where he hallucinated in his sleep. Joe was in the hospital for at least two
weeks. Joe even says that he released information saying he was only
hospitalized from blood pressure because he didn't want anyone to know he was
injured. The book's called Smokin' Joe - The Autobiography. By the way,
Joe was knocked down 11 times....once by Mike Bruce, twice by Bonavena, and
eight times by Foreman. Knockdowns are knockdowns, green, yellow or
blue.Anyways, what are your top 10 heavies, Willard ? |
|10/18/05 01:46:27 AM|Noam|same||same||||10|Also, Willard, I don't doubt that
Ali was hurt in fight 3. However, Joe was hurt worse, and he didn't come out for
the 15th round. That isn't a woulda situation. It's fact. Joe's corner stopped
the fight and it's good that they did as he couldn't see and his head was
grotesquely swollen. Joe should be proud of the effort he put in, and
you should be proud of him, too, despite the loss. But Ali won fight 3, same as
Frazier won fight 1. It's all in the history books. Regards. |

I'm a lifelong Pittsburgh Pirates fan, and now we have Jim Tracey (former
Dodgers Skipper) managing us! I'm not thinking World Series---but it would be
nice to flirt with .500 and not be out of contention in June! I think Jim
Leyland, one of the best Pirates managers ever, came from the White Sox
organization. And if I recall, so did Gene Lamont.Thank you for your
service to our country---and that comes from my heart---a sincere thanks for
looking out for me, my wife and one year old baby. What you're doing literally
means the world to us. |
|10/18/05 01:08:00 PM|Pete|Cleveland||N/A||||10|Howard C I asked you to name
your top 10 welterweight champions of all times; and you can give me only 2
names: #1 Robinson and #2 Armstrong?You really disappointed me. I was
hoping to finally get you off of your all time favorite boxing argument Frazier
and Ali, and branch out into other boxing area's. Are you afraid to commit
yourself? But sadly (for this site), you are only limited to one sided
Ali and Frazier ramblings.And not very funny sarcasm.. Start reading some of
Noam's and Kent's posts (excluding their opinions about Frazier and Ali). You
might learn something about boxing. Besides Ali and Frazier babble|

a top fifteen heavyweights of all time.1.Ali2. Louis3.
Holmes4. Foreman 5. Lewis6. Frazier7. Marciano8.
Dempsey9. Johnson 10. Tunney11. Holyfield12. Liston 13.
Tyson14. Charles15. WalcottI don't have Liston or Tyson in my
top ten becauwe heart is the missing ingredient to go with their great physical
skills. Holyfield's superior courage would prevail, even prime verses
prime.Lewis' height advantage would give him the nod over the middle of
the pack, Frazier, Marciano, and Dempsey but he would not be that much of a
favorite as any of them could catch his chin napping with their
power.Tunney beat Dempsey twice in the ring, a great feat but Dempsey
was on the way down but Tunney might not have been able to do it prime verses
prime but it would always be a tough fight for Dempsey.A lot of people
don't realize that Tunney only lost one fight in about fifty career fights, as a
light heavyweight to Harry Greb, which he avenged his loss later, a great
record.Holmes' great jab would get him into the later rounds verses
Foreman, so I rate him above George F, and Holmes would wear him down for the
win.I don't see anyone, prime verses prime, having better boxing skills
and power combined, despite his smaller size than some of the guys on the list
than Joe Louis. The only one being Ali, the best of the best.It is hard
to leave off someone like Jack Johnson, the absolute best of his era with great
