tell, which of course he’d embellish, with him going “toe to toe” till someone
broke it up. He’d probably say, “Naw, he wasn’t much!” about the fighter.
Massimo – who’s Earnie Cab? Primo would probably be in the class
of Lyle and Shavers in the late 60s-late 70s, an opponent to respect, but no one
who’d take the monsters.vAngelo – once, on the gulf of Mexico, a shark got
trapped by a sand bar and currents, and you wouldn’t believe the artillery guys
were hauling out of their cars to shoot at it! No one waded in to punch it
though. LOL! I wonder if that’s true? Well, six feet and 190 is a big guy, and
if he were recognized, I can imagine some drunken fool wanting to test himself
against Quarry. Liquor turns mice into lions sometimes. What the ordinary guy
could do too, seeing Frazier and Quarry, and Frazier winning, would be to
normalize both of them, and see Jerry therefore as a soft touch, not realizing
that these were two extremely gifted, highly trained, conditioned, and ferocious
men, waaay out of the orbit of the ordinary person’s realm. The average barfly
would be hit six times before his brain even registered what was happening, and
the boxer wouldn’t have to fear anything of his, even ~if~ it landed by a
miracle. I’d like to hear some of these stories! What I’d fear as a fighter
would be one, a lawsuit in this day and age, and two, that I’d break my hand. Of
course, a real “guy” wouldn’t do anything, having a great story to tell, which
of course he’d embellish, with him going “toe to toe” till someone broke it up.

story of a pro fighter that I heard about here is back in the 60's a retired
fighter by the name of Nick Barrone, (who gained fame here because he was only
fighter from Syracuse N Y to fight for world heavyweight title..Ezzard Charles
in the 50's). Nick drove a cab having long retired from the ring and a customer
got out and threatened him when it came time to pay his fare.Nick got out of the
cab and the guy put his hands up to fight and Nick hit him so hard the guy went
down and bounced up and ran away. He hit the ground so hard he tore his pants.
Older members of my family know the guy this happended to and he told them as
soon as the guys hands went up he knew he was doomed..he had no idea who Nick
