CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|KENT:(the famed CURLY Q.LINK of our
FEARLESS LEADERS CLUB).Very good observation,Did Boxing people think Ron LYle
was thru after JQ? or "SUGAR RAY LEONARD" AFTER DURAN?? Saw the Tyson story last
night,The jury is still out on the quality of Mike's opponents and he did miss
at least 6 top ten punchers, in BOWE,WITHERSPOON,FOREMAN,MERCER,MORRISON,AND
MOORER, How many contenders did Ali miss?? I haveta say "IRON MIKE" had GREAT
PUNCH SPEED AND POWER!! (just kill ya!!).|

CHUVALO. It must have been a hard fight to score as lots of people tell me
Chuvalo got robbed and others tellme that Bonavena should have gotten credit
for scoring a knockdown which apparently was ruled a slip. I never saw a film
soI have no opinion. Sounds like a good match up though. Two iron men. One
thing which I universally hear is that Chuvalo gotrobbed in his "draw"
against Alongi. |

Larry Middleton gave Jerry a pretty tough fight over in London. I think Jerry
just won by a quarter of a point decision. |

Gerard, I have a tape of the Bonavena-Chuvalo fight. And it was a very hard
fight to score. It is not an exciting fight, over the years I've watched it
twice. I could easily understand how someone could vote for Chuvalo, or Oscar,
or even make it a draw. There was a lot of clinching and shoving. Although they
both staggered each other at different times. And Chuvalo went down once and
the referee ruled it a slip, or a push. Actually, I thought Oscar knocked him
down.Either one of them stops Cooney in the late rounds. |
|7/18/03 08:35:16 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|Oscar Bonavena
was a tough guy. Hard puncher and from what I hear a hard partyer too. I know
in his early fights he had Charlie Goldman training him. I always thought he and
JQ would have made a good fight. I believe they signed but Oscar broke his left
hand and had to pull out. No one ever fought Oscar and had an easy time of it.
Not Frazier, Lyle, Ali, or anyone else. I think his lowpoint was loosing to
Ellis and actually getting floored twice. That really surprised me.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|JOHN GERARD: Yes I know BIG JOHN,When I
rated these 12,it was more or less by there overall stature,and how I think they
would or did line up against each other,not necessarily there bouts with JQ.I've
always said that 1972 MIDDLETON was a little underrated,Jerry won more like 6 0r
7 rounds,Writer's at ringside said it shouln't have been that close,like the NEW
YORK TIMES,W.B.A. RANKED Middleton fourth, when Lyle took him out.|
|7/18/03 11:47:26 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|I wonder how
Jerry would have done against Henry Cooper? Since Cooper had been kayoed by Ingo
and Patterson, I would have to bet on Jerry. Cooper did have a good left jab
and hook though. |
|7/18/03 03:34:18 PM|Paul Maduros|midwest||pama42@yahoo.com||||10|To his credit
Jerry was able to compete w/fightersmuch bigger than himself. Jerry's
training habits are in question. Like his brother James told me, when he was in
top shape, he stood a chance against anybody. I carry a picture of jerry in my
wallet, anytime someone wants to bring up great fighters I tell them about
Jerry. I don't see my self carrying around a picture of Gerry Cooney, Jerry was
way cooler than him.|
