overachieved rather than underachieved. Personally, I don't think that Bugner
really had that much ability that he should have lasted all the way against Ali
and Frazier like he did. I think he lifted above his ability for those fights.
The thing is though, in other eras Bugner probably would probably have won a
version of the championship. |

dissapoints me about Joe Bugner is that if he would have reached down inside a
little bit ,he could have made those fights against Ali and Frazier alot more
competitive.He had all the physical tools,he just would not commit.Hey Paul and
R.S.,I'm sorry,but Joe Bugner reminds me of the Klitchko Brothers.Now,give them
enough time hanging around,and pick the most vulnarable champion,and one of them
might stumble into a title.|

era was the greatest ever - you had a small handful of all time greats, backed
up by underachievers with talent and overachievers with determination, the
latter two groups of which might have won a title in other times. As for the
elite bunch, I'd only give two or three champions from any era even a chance
against Ali, Frazier, or Foreman.Steve -Bugner might be
something like what I was wondering about Ken Norton once - if he'd gotten into
the completely right sport for him. Bugner might have been better off playing
something else, but of course, if you aren't in school, the only sports open to
you are boxing, tennis, and golf. Potential rewards in all three are enormous,
but so are the odds against ever getting them.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I have to agree with my stooge buddy
Steve(SHEMP) Bugner's eyes intimadated me about as much as a MAXIE "PAD"
Kellerman fight prediction. Marvis Frazier was ok (he just had his mother's jaw
line).Anyone whom did not think Jerry Quarry had quick hands, OUTTA! buy some
fight tapes.And i'm not talking his bouts with Lorenzo Zanon (WHOM BUGNER MIGHT
NOT EVEN HAD BEATEN). OR ESPN'S OWN signature patented bout ALI-QUARRY II.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Massimo:I do not really have any idea
what your deal is,Obviously your not talking about me (chump etc.)Maybe I
OUTTA!! give you a little history lesson Boxing 101.I grew up in Quarry land,
only lost one amateur bout in STELICH STADIUM May 1st,1974 which is now the
DOME, To a guy whom later won the IBF Welterweight title,Dennis Mullhollland,he
was a southpaw and managed by WALLY TUCKER who literally owned half of
Bakersfield (WHERE JERRY WAS BORN).I've forgotten more about Jerry Quarry
escapades outside they arena, then you'll ever know.(STREET BRAWLS) And if
saying OUTTA MAKES ME A CHUMP OR A BUM,Every interview JQ ever had he used these
slangs,very definetly,you want to discuss anything with me on this post,make it
your great boxing knowledge, or better yet an heart felt opinion about something
that means something,for I do not get into trivial B.S.|

slang. I don't understand where is the offence ! |
