January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

selected group of guy's, and could not defeat the top rated guys like Holyfield
and Morrison, he was lucky Moorer was champ, I always thought he was a bum and
he proved it against Foreman. Of course when a 45 year old guy can take you the
distance or KO you what does that say for you. It does say Big George is one
hell of a fighter and has a heart that would be be hard to beat. Oh, yeah
Massimo quit your cussin'. And Steve from NJ, It's hard to 'dis a Bro from
Jersey, but Jerry was a much better fighter than Ernie Shavers. Shavers had one
thing...the right hand. He didn't jab, had slow hands and footwork,a weak chin
and no endurence. He beat alot of set up's with a few top 20 fighters thrown
it. Jimmy Young was a good prostpect when Shavers clocked him, he was in line
for Frazier's title when Ron Stander pounded him out. He did drop Ron Lyle and
had him hurt until he succumbed to his lack of training and skill. Ernie
Shavers in no way compares with Mike Tyson, who early on, was a fairly complete
fighter. Tyson stops Quarry in 2.|

Geez, R.S. just because a guy has streach marks doesn't mean
he on the juice>Along with obviously oversized musculature for a given
size, usually combined with dazzling definition, stretch marks are the single
most obvious sign of steroidal use, and are rare in someone who doesn't take
drugs. I'd be curious if Tyson's suffered a lot of little nagging muscle pulls,
also a side effect of steroids, since such a body's frame isn't designed for the
amount of muscle the drugs produce. Tyson's weight is appropriate for an in
shape man of 6'4" at least.. As far as Tyson vs.
Frazier, the early Mike would have KO'ed Joe before the fifth
round. The more recent version on Tyson it's a toss-up. Iv'e
always thought Foreman could KO Tyson.>Foreman would likely knock out
Tyson the same way he did Frazier. JF was the greatest inside fighter in boxing
history. Tyson would be in a phone booth with Joe, who would have started faster
than was customary with him. Tyson wouldn't have found Frazier's head, and his
short punches wouldn't have mattered. I'd take five rounds too, but the other
way around. Tyson might have quit from the body punches. I always thought he had
a lot of dog in him.
George is one hell of a fighter and has a heart that would be be
hard to beat.>One of the top five all time greats. I can't think of
another champion who could have even fought at the age at which GF won the
title, let alone captured it. Of course, he didn't take it away from an immortal
or anything, but how many fighters at even 40 are anything but a wreck? In his
prime, there are few who could have stayed with George. Plus, when considering a
fighter's greatness, I like to (along with thinking of his best night, and
overall record), imagine how he'd do if dropped down into the fight of another
great, either against them or their opponent. There isn't a fighter ever, or
their opponent, in any fight, who wouldn't have been in trouble against Foreman
(or Ali, Frazier), though the same can't be said for Tyson, or most of the
current group, save Holyfield. Tyson stops Quarry in 2.>If he
didn't cut, I think Quarry would have done a little better than that. There were
some who were trickier than JQ, but it isn't a real long list, and Tyson wasn't
one of them. Cleverness was one thing with which Tyson had trouble. As with any
bully, he also had problems with someone who wouldn't quit and threw volumes of
punches, which would have been his downfall against Frazier, and a big part of
it against Quarry. |

an 29 years Holyfield much better than a 30 y. old Tysondid against a 34 y.
old Holyfield. I don't thinkMoorer was so beat. He was surely a legitimate
top 10, he hadn't a good chin, but he could punchPS; I don't understand what
the espression "quit your coussin " means... Is it an offense ?If it's an
offence I want you in the ring ! You don't have a chance with me, you are too
short, too slow, you have no footwork ... You would be in trouble against me
