January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

were still very beatable. Many of the heavies today are more athletically
gifted. I believe. A prime Tyson and Evander Holyfield would kick
Quarry's ass too. As well as Ellis, Bugner, Chuvalo, Bonovena etc. etc. What do
you think of that?You guys seem to think that the boxing world revolves
around the old era. As if competetive boxers ended when we still had 8 tracks
and disco. GET OVER YOURSELVES!Boxers are human beings not gods. And
that goes for your beloved Ali, Frazier and Foreman as well.You old
foggies need to get your arses out of the 60's and 70's and realize THAT BOXING
STILL EXISTS! Yes there is boxing now in the 21st century. Sheesh!!!When
I have the chance I'm going t take the time to research and respond to the
absolute nonesense that being written by all you grandfathers on this site. I
realise it will take some work so I'll probably be off the scene for some time.
Cause you people need some serious help. The way you react to those who believe
that there are modern heavyweights who can beat those of the past is downright
scary.There are talented boxers in the late 20th and early 21st century
as well. It's true, it's true.Kent tries to be funny with the Nicoley vs
Jerry bit.Well I wonder what you would think of the GREAT Chuck Wepner vs
today's heavyweights. Well since Wepner is from the GODLY 70's era I guess he'd
kill them all. Eat em all for breakfast. Even in their prime. Poor Vitali,
Tyson, Holyfield, Ruiz, Toney, Brewster, Peter, Lewis etc. wouldn't stand a
chance. Eh? PS: If there's anyone born between 1970-1990 please join in.
It's tiresome dealing with these farts who were around when John Sullivan lost
to "Gentleman" Jim Corbett.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Hello Max: I WAS going to ask you,if you
knew Tony Licata, Edgar (Mad Dog) ROSS, MIKE BAKER, JOEY VINCENT, Then I see you
fought them all! Did you ever know our own COCKY KO KING MIKE NIXON? Mike did
not have a big Knockout record, but when he landed and pulled his punches over
he would knock people like South African and 3rd ranked GERT STEYN AND MIKE
AVANS (WHOM NEVER BEEN DOWN FOR THE COUNT FOR 5 PLUS MINUTES!! TAKE CARE|

RAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|MARKHAM: YU bring up some very good points,JQ has not a
victory over the fighter's you mentioned,ELLIS,CHUVALO,BUGNER,BONAVENA. Yur
right,however his all time ranking is much higher then any of they above, and I
think right fully so, Just on the fact he beat better fighter's. Bonavena alone
can only beat a top ten fighter, if he could get that in Buenos Aires, where
they would get DQUED FOR HITTING RINGO IN THE MOUTH, say AL "BLUE' Lewis and
ZORA FOLLEY, FOLLEY BEAT HIM EVEN WORSE IN ARGENTINA THEN HE DID IN NY AND THEY
STILL GAVE IT TO OSCAR, YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THE 60'S AND 70'S WERE THE BEST ERA IN
BOXING AND ADMITTEDLY MAINLY BECAUSE OF ALI FOR HIS ABILITY AND SHOWMANSHIP DUH!
AND I KNOW WE SORT OF EXAGERATE JERRY'S TALENTS SOME TIMES, HE WAS NO OPPONENT
OR JOURNEYMAN, BUT AT THE VERY TOP OF HIS PROFESSION, AND A CLASS ACT TO SAY THE
LEAST|

Information, if the heavyweights of today are bigger and better than ones from
our golden era, then why has Chris Byrd been IBF champion for quite a while now?
What does Byrd weigh? About 212, hmm, let me see, that is way bigger
than Ali, Foreman, Holmes, Shavers, Lyle, and Frazier isn't it?Not even,
and if Byrd, who is the same size or smaller than a lot of the oldtimers, than
it is very possible the oldtimers could compete just as well today as Byrd
does.Also, one of the top heavys of today is Lamon Brewster, who is
around the 220 mark himself, again, about the size of ones from the earlier
era.In addition, James Toney if came down to under 210 pounds, he would
still be strong enough to handle most if not all of the heavys around today as
it is skill, not size that gives him the edge.Not to mention that John
Ruiz, long time contender from this era and WBA champion lost to both Roy Jones
Jr. and Toney, even if Toney's test results kept Toney from keeping the belt.
