chance to do the same to Larry Merchant who was very hostile to Lennox in the
afterfight interview. I find the Americans very anti-Lewis (the reporters,
commentators etc) and I think this is down to the fact that they cannot get a
fighter to cope with our 'British Champion'. Kent - he was'nt lucky he just
attained victory in a different way. I do agree that it was disappointing that
the fight was stopped on those terms but it makes for a great rematch I guess.
In my opinion I feel that Jimmy Young was never the same fighter after his close
decision loss to Ken Norton. He was still a good fighter to beat in '81, '82 but
not the force he once was. The same applies moreso to Norton and Lyle at the
time they met Mr Cooney.|

think Lewis had an off night. I think he is starting to show his age and
should seriously consider quitting and going out a winner. At first I thought I
fight between him and Roy Jones would be a horrible mismatch because of the size
factor, but now I am not so sure.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I agree about Merchant,(hasn't he made
enough money? does he have a pension? Him And Lampley and Kellerman have a NEW
team "STOOGES 2003" I take that back the stooges knew more about boxing!!Yes he
was rude to Lewis,but consider the source!Lennox handles himself with class at
least 90% of the time,thats a champion's trait,And a lot of NATURAL ability.I
HAVE SOME ARTICLES ON JQ MERCHANT WROTE: how he was too "IRISH" VS Frazier,in
69' And how he was worried for Chuvalo's safety! When he signed for JERRY
QUARRY!|

to agree with John that Lewis may be showing his age and should condsider
stepping down while he is on top. Yes, we Americans were happy when
Americans, Hasim Rahman and Oliver McCall beat Lewis, the only fighters to ever
beat him. The same way you like it that he is champion because you are from
England. Yes, he did win the rematches but the fact remains that two American
fighters beat him. |
|7/23/03 12:56:11 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|He lost to two Americans but he has
beaten 20 of them in his time. The most dominant Heavyweight of the last ten
years was from Britain. Hmmm..now just imagine that!|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|ON PAPER: Quarry would have to be a big
favorite,punchers really never bothered Jerry,Throw out "SMOKIN JOE!" and I do
not think JQ would have had much to worry about.Jerry defeated 8 top ten
fighter's and was ranked #1 Longer(4 months) than any other non-champion during
his career.Those guys had size and reach differance's and thats about it,if
we're discussing "WHITE BOYS" I'D pick Morrison over both Cooney or Bobick! WHY?
he beat better fighter's.|

with you about Lennox. In my opinion he'd have an excellant chance against any
heavyweight in history...his 2 loses were by 2 guys weighting about 240 and
hitting him flush on the jaw and one of them (the Mccall fight) he might have
even won if given the chance to continue and like a true champion, he totally
wiped the guys out in the rematches.About the Klitschko fight..he found a
way to win. Wiping a mans eye out like he did took a lot of punching power (what
