January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Who has he ever beaten? World champions have to defend their title against the
best opponents in the world. The WBC should strip him of the belt and award it
to Rahman. Klitschko should pay Rahman for all of the time he’s wasted training.
They had to force him to fight Rahman and he still pulled out. What does
Klitschko mean in Russian, chicken? He quit on the stool with a shoulder injury
against (Chris) Byrd in the 10th round of a 12-round fight that he was leading
big. A doctor gave him approval to fight Rahman, but he chose not to fight. He’s
tall, big and may look like a heavyweight champion. But he doesn’t have the
heart and soul of a world champ. It’s not what’s on the outside, it’s what’s
inside that counts.|

Vitali Klitschko. I consider him a very strong heavyweight champion and I can't
beleive he is afraid of Has Been "Who" Rahman. I don't know exactly what
happened to Vitali and how bad is his injury. I hope to see him back soon in the
ring. The heavyweight division needs Vitali Klitschko.|

Promise and potential do not a good fighter make. The guy seeems hollow to me.
Quarry stepped in with Ellis, presumably with a broken back. Vitali has strung
us along now and it's gotten to be absurd. Maybe it's just the era, but my view
is you fight the toughest guys out there. You go after the biggest fish, not
the little guppy. Prove yourself by taking on the best and do it often. This
is a cream puff champion until proven otherwise. Hand it to Rahman for pity's
sake.|
|11/9/05 08:10:03 PM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Well it looks
like Vital has retired and the WBC will declare Rahman champion.Maybe
Vitali really has some cronic injuries that haven't healed and he doesn't want
to fight at anything but his best but who knows?I like the idea of the
eight man tournament to get one champion but doubt it will happen that way. Too
much money to be made with the split champions, at least in the near
future.King has said he wants some sort of tournament. Will see what
happens.|

Most fighters and most athletes in general have chronic pain and injuries. Ask
Jim Otto. You compensate and you play hurt. Unless the injury is something
severe, rendering Klitscho utterly unable to perform, my feeling is that he just
doesn't really have the heart for boxing. There's nothing wrong with that---I
would never fight professionally even if I had his ability. Some people have
the "eye of the tiger" and others don't. It just seems as though it was always
something.|

update: He, along with 12 others, received some sort of "Medal of Freedom"
honor yesterday from the White House and President Bush. I saw photos. He joked
with Bush---and appeared to look the same as he has for the past few years. I'm
not sure what the daughter's book said exactly, but his condition doesn't seem
too much different than it has for several years. He needed escort help to move
around and he was gesturing with his hands more than speaking---but looked fine.

interpreted me correctly about Ali keeping the memory of other great fighters
alive.Angelo,I'm letting you know that I honestly believe that Ali was a better
overal fighter than Frazier.However,I still like Jerry
Quarry,JoeFrazier,Marciano and Joe Loius as Great representitives of this sport
at times when we really needed it.Noam,I sometimes let outside factors,you know
,personal shit,influence my big mouth on this site.I apoligize to you.You are a
reasonable, logical poster.Don't bail out because of any disagreements,this site
is too important to me.Even when I have to put up with Kent and that
Nazi,Massimo. |
