January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

gave Muhammad Ali fifteen tough rounds, and fought Larry Holmes closely twice,
knocking Holmes down in a title fight. Quarry knocked out Shavers in one round.
Ron Lyle knocked down George Foreman twice in their exciting fight, before
Foreman won---and Lyle also fought very well against Muhammad Ali in a title
match, yet Jerry Quarry won a very impressive decision over Lyle, one of the
most dangerous punchers of the 70's. Quarry is best remembered for the losses
to the greats, and also losses later in his career---against Frazier and Norton-
--and his amazing victories are overlooked by "ESPN Classic" and others who
don't know any better. Do some research on his career---try to find his wins on
video---you'll see what a great fighter he was. Our own Jimmy Dorsey can give
you the blow by blow details on what a great career Jerry had!|

point. ESPN Classic sucks. They show Rumble in the Jungle, Thrilla in Manila,
and Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson. I have rarely seen any other bouts not
involving the guys who fought in those matches. They had Ali/Wepner on last
night, and it looks like Frazier/Bonavena 1 will be on tonight.I'd like
to see more fights from more weight classes, with much different opponents. The
only fighters ESPN Classic honors are Ali and Tyson.|

come to and English speaking country - America, Britain, etc - and you'll hear
'niggling' used in a non-racial way. Other than silly Pete, no one gets
offended. Crocodile tears from him.Pete, how many times do you want it
answered. Yes, I say 'niggling' to people, even blacks. The dictionary
defination allows me to. Read the dictionary, fool.Now Pete. Answer me
questions:1) Did you tell anyone on this site that you are black
?2) Is the name Pete peciliar to blacks ?3) How did Noam or
anyone else know that you are black before you began shedding crocodile tears
?Answer them 1), 2), 3). |

Pete, stop your relentless niggling. The list Noam posted on your past comments
prove niggling, carping, nagging, and petty cheap shots. Everytime someone you
didn't like posted you told them to stop being "boring". You stop being boring,
you obnoxious fool. (Now that I got that out, I feel much better.) |
|10/28/05 06:20:20 PM|Charles|UK||UK||||10|Niggling is a word used all over the
English speaking world and it has no racial slur or meaning. A simple Google
check demonstrates that for those wishing to take the time, for those wishing to
be fair. Even today this word was used in English speaking newspapers. For
example,The Indian Tribune published today: "The niggling detail that
President Bush and his White House staff have so far been unable to swat away is
Valerie Plum, the CIA agent whose cover was blown..."Was the paper being
racist ? Of course not. Niggling is a word used regularly in all parts of the
world with no racial inference attached to it.Does anyone here believe
that the word niggling was used as a racial slur by the poster Noam ? There's a
difference between not knowing the meaning of this word as pleaded by some
Americans here, or using it as a deliberate slur. There are plenty of
on-line dictionaries to confirm what I am saying. Try them. Ask Pete to explain
away the millions of definitions of the word 'niggling' on-line and none of them
allege a racist element. Ask Pete to find just one entry out of the millions of
on-line references to the word 'niggling' that alleges a racial slur. There are
none. Pete is a word killer. We must nurse and pet the language to
appease his feigned sensitivity to every imagined slight, however trivial.
Innocently used words are mangled to pretend offense when none was ever
intended. His alleged distress at the use of the word is feigned and he uses it
as a weapon. Political correctness gone made. Suckers born every second.
Take the time and do a google check on the word 'niggling' and see Pete
for what he is. I'll give a prize to any of you who can find an entry on the
word niggling demonstrating that it is a racial slur. |
