Jonathan, you are right, the tone of recent posts has not been good but there
have been a couple of newcomers who have rocked the boat and while we should
have ignored them, some people felt a need to respond, sometimes in
kind.Again, it is good that you returned home safely.|
|4/21/06 07:37:36 PM|steve |NA||NA||||10|Well Jonathan,wellcome back and God
bless you.You'll be different now.I was an airborne Ranger in Nam, I don't know
about what you had to witness or actually do yourself,son.I do know you should
carry no guilt.I'm sure you did your duty.|

talk to about your combat,or even witnessing the results of close quarters
combat,Please say so on this site.I am a representative for the V.A.WE can
always try to find a way to shake that old,past stuff away.Remember,none of it
means a fuckin thing.|

greatest heavyweight of all time. Wladdy KO1 Ali.|
|4/22/06 07:31:38 PM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Yes, Wladimir
K, did beat the crap out of Byrd but the greatest of all time, he has a ways to
go.For those that don't know, Wlad K won the IBF heavyweight title by a
seventh round knockout and he won almost every round. I only saw one round as
even, the first and the rest for Wlad.|

right when I said that Cristiano Byrd was going to win on points...Now, when
Vitali comes back, a fight between Vitali and Wladimir for the crown seems
inevitable. If Vitali wanna be the king of the wordl he has to whip his dear
little brother. It's like Kent against Toney ! |

visitors to this site, below is a fairly recent article written by New York
attorney David Berlin who has been a strong advocate for change in boxing. His
comments reflect many of the beliefs and efforts by The Jerry Quarry Foundation
as espoused in the past 11 years.Wednesday Mar 29, 2006
Boxing and the Lawby David BerlinAs Joe Mesi
looks to make his comeback in sunny Puerto Rico, far from Buffalo’s bitter
chill, he has found not only warm weather but a warm welcome which he probably
would not get from his home state’s commission. There might be differing points
of view on whether Mesi, who suffered three late knockdowns and bleeding on the
brain in his 2004 battle with Vassiliy Jirov, should be allowed to fight again.
But the fact that he can choose to avoid Nevada and New York – states that
likely will not license Mesi because of the danger to his health and life – and
instead find a soft commission that will allow him to enter a boxing ring
highlights the need for reform in boxing.Boxing needs a single set of
safety standards to protect fighters, a single set of rules to protect the
integrity of the sport, a single ratings body to determine champions and
contenders and a single national commission to govern the sport.Inside
the ropes, boxing remains “the sport to which all other sports aspire,” to
borrow George Foreman’s words. Pure. Elemental. Like the men inside the ring,
stripped down to the bare essentials. Man against man, matching strength against
strength, speed against speed, skill against skill, will against
will.But the purity of what takes place inside the ropes is too often
tainted by what takes place just outside those ropes. Too often we see
incompetent judges, negligent commissions and corrupt sanctioning bodies all
making questionable decisions. When Dave Tiberi outworks James Toney over twelve
rounds but is robbed by incompetent judges of the title he has earned in the
ring, boxing suffers. When Brad Rone, overweight and with 26 straight losses
under his belt, is denied a license to fight in Nevada and then dies in a boxing
ring when he is permitted to fight in neighboring Utah, boxing suffers. When Zab
