January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

dealt with age and other factors Cooper dealt with.Read them and use
them. I didn't write all of that for nothing. For you guys just to ignore.
The next time I return here I want to actually see comments on what I
wrote. Thanks.I wonder if this Cooper character is related to the real
Henry? I mean is he mad that Ali beat and bloodied his dad or something? Or is
it uncle? He he he.|

Your intentions might be good, but I'm not sure if I understand the reason for
your post. Kent usually gives his e-mail address, so if this is really a
sincere concern about the site that you wish to share with Kent, you could have
written directly to him. Lately, I think the tone has improved here, especially
since members of the Quarry family chastised us carrying on the way we were. I
think that for the most part, we've managed to get back to boxing lately. We'll
always have spirited and sometimes bitter debate---some of us are emotional
about the sport and our favorites---but we've toned it down and have gotten
constructive again. By posting your opinion about how the site has deteriorated
and how it's gone downhill, what does that accomplish? The timing seems weird
because like I said, with a few exceptions, we've been doing well lately.
Writing publicly to Kent and "dissing" the site will just cause people here to
get defensive and start bickering again. Also, you recall fondly that we "used
to" put our e-mail addresses down and correspond---but you didn't do this on
your own post! I know you asked Kent and not me, but I'll answer anyway---no,
this site is NOT a cesspool. I still think it's a great tribute to Jerry, Mike
and the other Quarry's, and I still like the letters page. Again, I don't want
you to think this is a knock on you---I hope you stick around and talk boxing
with us. |

must have forgotten the days of the Koo Koo Klock, Foolface, and Brother DKS.
It wasn't civil thenIt goes in cycles, people fued and then things calm
down.Some of the old regulars pop in every now and then but I think it
is just people get on to other things in their life, they don't come here
because of that, not because of the fighting here.I hope you post more
often. You input is missed.|

insult me good, much less make a good argument. I'm done verbally whipping you
all. So long, fools!|
|11/29/05 06:09:02 AM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|I think Lennox Lewis at 36-38 was
clearly better than Ali' at the same age. I also believe that Tyson at 19-21 was
better than Clay at the same age.But between 1964 and 1975 Ali' was
probably the greatest ever. I think the first Liston fight was the real
beginning of Ali's career. By the way, I don't think that both the Liston fights
were fixed. I think the second one was probably fixed but the first one was
regular. Liston fought hard for 5 rounds in the first fight and hit Clay with a
good left hook in the fourth round. He even tried to blind Ali'. What did he do
that for if the fight was fixed ?|
|11/29/05 02:31:31 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Joe Louis promoted the Ali v Logan
fight.Ever stopped to think that guys like 'Paul' are really the old
guys coming back every so often to argue the same stuff they did before they
left. Someone comes on and ridicules Ali and then immediately after that Paul
turns up saying how much better the old site was. Guys are suddenly turning up
trying to pick fights just so they can so "I told you so". |
|11/29/05 02:40:17 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo, Lewis was far less war
weary than Ali at age 36. He had less mileage on the clock. Ali was an old
36.Regards the second Liston fight. Ali won the first convincingly so
why would he need or bother to fix the second one as you suggest. Ali was an
overwhelming favourite for the second fight. Fights are usually fixed for
favourites to lose, not win.That second fight also had an almost
