all the Quarry's out there. I know everyone who contributes to this site is
praying for all of you. I think Foreman would take out Dokes in 7 or eight
rounds. Dokes was a good fast boxer and would win some early rounds but George,
in his prime, is just too strong and powerful. Very few great heavyweights could
handle George's power and Dokes is not a great heavyweight. Holmes vs. Walcott
on the other hand is a battle between two great prizefighters. Both men are
solid punchers with beautiful boxing skills. I see both men hurt with solid
shots, in the end Larry would take a very close decesion. Thats hard to say.
I'm from Jersey, and Walcott was always one of my favorites. I've met him
several times and have an autographed program from the Qwai-Holifield
Cruserweight bout. A very nice man. But in thier primes I think Holmes would
get the nod.|

took the second Frazier fight because Foreman, who was the champion at the time,
wouldn't give him a shot probably because Foreman had a chance to fight Ali and
he didn't want to risk blowing getting the Ali fight. Jerry took the second
Frazier fight because it was thought Jerry could Frazier at this point because
Jerry had been on a roll. Joe proved everyone wrong just as Jerry did against
Lyle and Shavers. Jerry's plan was to box and counter punch, which is what he
did for the first two rounds with some sucess but by the third round he reverted
back to slugging it out with disasterous results. I didn't think Jerry looked
too bad in the Chuvalo fight he just got caught with a good punch in the seventh
round and it was being careless and not keeping track of the count more than
anything else that beat him. I do believe that if Jerry had beat the count that
he would have won the fight as he wasn't hurt too badly and he had been handing
Chuvalo a beating up to the knockdown. The second Ali fight has always been a
sense of frustration for me as a Quarry fan in that after the second round until
near the end of the sixth round when Ali stepped up the pace to try and get
Jerry out of there and Jerry fought back hard, Jerry just seemed to be going
through the motions and he didn't seem to fight hard like he always had before.
He just plodded after Ali throwing half hearted punches one or two at a time
while at the same time eating numerous Ali jabs and right hands. I am not sure
why he didn't seem to be up for the fight. |
