Frazier 2 in 74 june or july. Going into the fight I think he may have been
favored or even. He was comming off a great year in 74 and the Alexander
knockdown was considered a flash knockdown and written off. The plan I believe
was to box move and counter Frazier and not go to war with him. Jerry boxed
beutifully and showed his skills off but it seemed to me at the time he was
burning alot of energy and not really hurting Frazier. I thought he'd beat
Frazier fairly easily in that fight but the loss was devastating. That fight
would have led to a fight with Foreman who was to win the title from Ali later
in the year. The 2nd Frazier fight was the last shot for Jerry. |

to bash my Uncle Jerry, maybe you should just stay away and visit another site.
How dare you say people on this site don't know him, and he was a family man,
and a very good person. Who the hell are you to say anything when you don't
know him, and you never will. Give us all a break and don't come back. Sorry
to the rest of you, but for this person to come on to bash him, me being me had
to say something about it. Anyways the rest of you keep posting, and coming
back|

bring up an interesting point when you mention your expectations from Frazier
and Quarry in their second fight. The mystery of why different bodies react in
different ways to the same things, or same sorts of things isn't really
explainable. Medicine knows there're reasons held in the body's chemistry, but
really don't have a clue what they are. I think both men in that fight looked
way different - in opposite directions - than many thought they
would.Jerry had just taken Lyle and Shavers the year before, while
Frazier had been demolished by Foreman, then fought Ali in their second go
'round. Ali was given the decision, and it wasn't that exciting. It would have
seemed that each was headed in a different direction than the fight showed.
However, Jerry Quarry was just destroyed, yet Frazier still had Manilla in him.
JQ had probably hit, then crossed his peak with the Lyle and Shavers fights,
Frazier was inexplicably getting a second wind.Being a boxer is almost
like being a dog in terms of how fast a person ages, so everything's speeded up.
The plunge can come anytime. While Foreman's success was inspirational to Joe
Couch Potato, it'll drive a lot of fighters to lie to themselves and think they
can do it too.|

Giancarlo: a wise man (wiser than me and especially you) said "judge not, that
thee be judged". Jerry Quarry was undoubtably a flawed man as are all of us
(yes even you Giancarlo, maybe especially you). I will take the word of Sonia
over you any day. You are wracked with bitterness. Look in the sky, take a
walk in the sun, and try to enjoy life. On a lighter note, has anyone read
about or seen any of the fights in the 30's and 40's? I did not know Buddy Baer
fought Abe Simon. Who won? Also who won the fight between Lou Nova and Tami
