four more pounds and am heading into the New Year at least 35 pounds less than I
was in August 05.My goal at this point was about 40 to 45 pounds so I am
near my target.Funny, when I talk to so called fitness experts, you know
guys that work at health clubs, they tell me it is possible for me to have
ripped abs and toned arms but if I can lose 120 or 130 pounds in about a year to
a year and a half, then I will have acomplished something special.They
will still say I need them when I reach my goal as I will still have a little
bit of a belly and probably flabby arms but that is OK as I don't need them as I
know what to do and the little gut and smooth arms is fine.|

bch,fla||maxhord@adelphia.net||||10|Valuev is an interesting fighter.He lacks
the skills necessary to beat any of the top ten bums out there today.If he had
an American trainer and boxed out of a good gym he may be able to learn a little
about boxing.He might do pretty well.I can only compare him to Too Tall Jones as
far as size goes.Too Tall couldn't fight a lick and almost lost a fixed fight
against a Mexican light heavy back in the day.We'll just wait and see but I
suspect the handlers of Valuev will put him right back in there against another
half ass heavyweight who'll probably end his career. |
|12/27/05 08:39:25 PM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Max, are you
sure that fight that Too Tall Jones almost lost was fixed?The other
fighter, a jouurneyman light heavy or crusierweight who's name I can't think of
at the moment, looked like he tried to win as he almost knocked out Too Tall in
the last round.It is amazing how much disrespect casual fans of boxing
had for our Jerry Quarry.I remember when Too Tall Jones started fighting
and I remember telling some of my friends that he will get knocked out if he
ever fights someone as good as Quarry. My friends laughed at me because they
thought that Jones was so strong that he would beat Jerry easy.They
weren't laughing when that Mexican fighter almost knocked out Jones as the
Mexican guy wasn't even half the fighter that Jerry was. |

last post, recently I mentioned that the one fighter who was almost as big as
Valuev was Mike "The Giant" White, who was a decent fighter who acutally had a
win over Buster Douglas. Douglas had won nearly every round until White
knocked him out in the last round. White also gave Michael Moorer a good fight
but Moorer knocked him down about three times and Moorer got the
decision.White was 6'10" 270 pounds and although, except for Douglas, he
never beat a world ranked fighter, he was a decent fighter. I would even say
better than Valuev is at this point.Max, do you remember Mike White?|

bch,fla||maxhord@adelphia.net||||10|Kent,maybe I should clarify my comment about
the fight between Jones and Meneses.The outcome wasn't predetermined like most
fixed fights but should have been an easy win for Jones.A no brainer to say the
least.I know that because my matchmaker also made the fights for Too Tall.And to
mention Quarry and Jones in the same breath is ludicrous to say the least.One
right hand from Quarry and Jones would have been out in the first.|

shame Joey et al FOR SHAME! I had a feeling this would happen. Out of emotion
you didn't READ PROPERLY. Not only did I state that Vitali was much bigger, I
also stated that QURRY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE JAB! I gave other examples of this.
Quarry didn't do a good job of avoiding the jab. Any boxer with a good jab boxed
his ears off. Quarry himself didn't have much of a jab. He relied on his hook.
When Quarry threw a hook it left him wide open for Ali's jabs. DO YOU GET IT
NOW!Vitali couldn't be in the same ring with...SAY WHAT!I see
there's an obsession with worshipping the boxers of the past. WOE THERE! Let's
not lose touch with reality. Though the heavyweights of the past may have had
more competetive matches or even more exiting matches (ie Foreman vs Lyle) they
