those fights. "<strong>The</strong> Truth" I think was made pretty visible. I enjoyed watching<br />

Larry, who was a real thinking man's boxer, but his lack of punch and chin are a<br />

good walk, to me, from Ali. Larry probably could discision <strong>Jerry</strong>, but lacks<br />

<strong>Quarry</strong>'s list of quality performances. I give <strong>Jerry</strong> the edge based on that.<br />

Thanks |<br />

also glad that some newcomers are joining in. I know some of the other regulars<br />

haven't been contributing as much lately and I hope it isn't because James<br />

hasn't been here lately because obviously he has more important things to take<br />

care and I am sure when he is feeling better he will join in again as before. I<br />

have to run at the moment but I will post not only the top 27 from the holiday<br />

issue of Ring Magazine 1998, I will post the entire top 50 as I have a copy of<br />

the issue.|<br />

|5/23/02 04:32:44 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Gerry you are entitled to your<br />

opinion. <strong>The</strong> facts are Frazier beat <strong>Jerry</strong> twice, without a tremendous amount of<br />

trouble. Foreman would have beaten <strong>Jerry</strong> easily I believe but I appreciate your<br />

points on that match-up. Holmes would have beaten <strong>Jerry</strong> easily, in my opinion.<br />

|5/23/02 09:48:10 PM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|<strong>Jerry</strong> beat<br />

Holmes,Foreman,Frazier? I don't think so. <strong>The</strong>se men are three of the greatest<br />

Heavies of all time. And I don't think saying <strong>Jerry</strong> couldn't win against these<br />

guys has anything to do with not being on <strong>Jerry</strong>'s side, it's just being<br />

realistic. <strong>Jerry</strong> proved what he could do against Frazier and I don't care what<br />

kind of fight plan he had, the result would have been the same. Joe was a<br />

better fighter. Yes <strong>Jerry</strong> did beat Ron Lyle a guy who had Foreman out on his<br />

feet, but I think <strong>Jerry</strong>'s style would have been his undoing against George. And<br />

Holmes, he did take some easy fights later in his reign, as most long time<br />

champions do, but he dominated the division, scraped himself of the canvas<br />

several times and I don't see <strong>Jerry</strong> winning this fight either. I wouldn't keep<br />

coming back to this site, and I certanly wouldn't add my two cents in if I<br />

weren't a <strong>Quarry</strong> fan, but I just don't see him beating these three guys. |<br />

the three, Foreman, Frazier, and Holmes, <strong>Jerry</strong> would have had his best chance<br />

against Foreman because of his counter punching style for the same reason <strong>Jerry</strong><br />

decisioned Lyle. <strong>Jerry</strong>, if he followed his fight plan against Foreman could
