January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

against the hardest hitter in the wordl:Tua. Mc Call has a good record, maybe
the sturdiest chin in the wordl and a good punch ! Even Ali' almost lost
against Cooper,Jones and Banks ! Lewis is big, is skilful, he can punch and he
showed against Tyson that he doesn't fear anybody ! I have two matchup for all
of you:Mike Tyson-Zora FolleyChuck Wepner-Primo CarneraBoth prime vs
prime, of course|

the Giant was 6'11" tall. I have seen this figure as being his correct height
on a couple of sourses, which I can't name at the moment, but I am sure they are
somewhere on the internet.|

going through Folley like a hot knife through butter - stoppage before five at
the longest. Wepner and Carnera? :-) How about a 50 round fight? Then I'd go
with Wepner, after da Preem collapsed from exhaustion. Wepner was sort of like
the heavy bag - your workout's over, you're tired and sweaty and ready to stop,
and there it is, still there waiting for more. Marciano said the same thing
about Chuvalo - have fights of 25 or more rounds, and no one would ever take
George.Thad Spencer was well touted at the time, and seemed to have the
goods to at least give good fights to some of the greats. Wasn't he lazy and
reluctant to train though?|

McCall was not an "excellent" fighter by the stretch of even the most active
imagination, and Rahman does have potential, but hasn't shown himself to be
excellent, or an all time great either. No, a draw against Tua doesn't catapult
him to be the next coming of Joe Louis! And let's face it, Tua is no Joe
Frazier. Now, I'll even go as far as saying that as an "old man" of 40, Ali
showed more guts in his loss to Trevor Berbick than Lennox Lewis did in those
humiliating losses. Ali finished on his feet. We've talked about it on the
Quarry board many times before: The great ones have almost all been knocked
down, but they climb up and rally, ala Holmes-Shavers. And "almost" losing, but
actually winning is what makes a legend---a great. In contrast, getting your
clock cleaned by Oliver McCall shows a major chink in the armour, and having the
same thing happen against Rahman confirms the worst. |

the Superstar compitition between Greg Pruitt and George Foreman. Pruitt won
the weight lifting event and Foreman came in second. I think the weight was well
over 300 pounds. Pruitt lifted the weight with his legs while Foreman just
walked up to the bar and lifted the weight up with his shoulders and back. Talk
about super strong. I think George would KO Tyson before the 5th round.
Foreman had a chin of iron and had too much heart for Tyson. Not to mention the
power. I think the most telling fight for Tyson was his bout with Bonecrusher
Smith, who I thought he would blow out. He tied Tyson up, out muscled him and
in the final round buckled his legs. Tyson did win the fight going away but if
Smith had opened up a few rounds earlier he might have put Tyson away...maybe
not. Tyson and Lewis never get up after geting knocked down. Just a few
rambling thoughts. |
