January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

it happened I thought Holmes was very dominant throughout the fight but after
seeing it again recently and taping it and rewatching it a couple of times, my
opinion has changed and I now think it was much closer than I initially thought
it was. |

thanks for your clarification. I agree with you about rating fighters. When I
rate a champion I try and look at him on his best night and wonder how he would
do against someone else on their best night. There are other factors that of
course come into play when I use this method. The champions I rate must have
longevity and great fights behind them. For example, I could not rate an Ingomar
Johanssen, or a Buster Douglas on the basis of their greatest fight, since that
incorporated just one night, and involves no longevity of greatness. |

am not sure why you wouldn't want to be known just because you asked a simple
question, but Max, of course, is talking about Mike Quarry. I do have
some information about Mike, I am not saying it is good or bad, but I will leave
it to the Quarry family to comment.ALSO, ARE WE DONE WITH THE COONEY
DEBATE YET? I THINK IT IS GETTING A BIT OLD.|

Cooney, at his best, was a great fighter !He fought toe to toe with the
champion of the wordl and he destroyed Lyle and Norton withina round !!
He did' nt lose against my aunt, but against Holmes, Spinks and Foreman, three
Hall of Famers ! Everybody say that, after thelayoff, Ali' wasn' t the same
fighter, but it seems to me that maybe he had his best victories after his come
back ( Foreman, Frazier III). Which is Ali' s best night in your opinion ? Ali'-
Foreman, Ali'-Frazier 3 or Ali'-Clevaland Williams ( a masterpiece but against a
fighter a little over the hill). Which was the best Ali' ? I doubt that the
Ali' who beatDoug Jones could beat a monster like Foreman... Another
question: was the Ali'-Bonavena fight beautiful ? How much beautiful ? Is the
beauty of that fight comparable with the Ali'-Frazier I-II-III sublimebeauty
? I know for sure that Shaq is great !!|
|8/13/03 05:41:27 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Please lets leave the word great for
fighters like Ali, Frazier, Marciano etc, not Cooney who was a good unfulfilled
fighter. On another note I have just finished watching Foreman vs Dino
Dennis - a great fight. Jerry Quarry is the second commentator on that fight
alongside, I believe, Tom Brookshire. In the commentary he mentioned that he had
sparred with Foreman and that George was the strongest human he had ever met. He
also mentioned that George was the most Awesome specimen he had ever seen in the
ring. Also I just watched the fight George had against LeDoux and it is
interesting to hear Jerry commentating again. He states that they way to fight
Foreman was to go at him, et within his reach but not to go at him in a straight
line - but come forward side to side.I am not trying to open up the
Foreman-Quarry can of worms again!|
|8/13/03 06:18:46 PM|Massimo|Rome||il solito||||10|You' re right, Evren ! Gerry
Cooney was just good, not great ! But George Foreman was a great champion !
Beating Ali', he would have been the greatest heavyweight of all times,
buthe lost that fight... Have a nice time, I go to sleep because it' s very
late !|

ordering boxing videos ? If I try now I read: THIS PAGE IS TEMPORARILY... And

choose ? Thank you very much !|
