on that. Nothing I wouldn't do to defend Jerry. RSThat was very
interesting however The old time fighters didn't face the black athelete as much
as Jerry did because he came up in an era completely dominated by not good but
great Black fighters and it is for that reason I think his level of competition
that he fought and overcame was more impressive that that of some of the old
timers and because of that I feel his place in history was higher than some of
the previous champs. You have some great insights and you write some great
posts. Steve, Do you remember Uper Darby PAL at 69th street. that has
been my home for 32 years now and I still go there. Great place to "grow up". I
only had a handful of pro fights. 4-1. Great people life long friends. |

seems that lots of people, the ordinary person on the street, the casual
situational fan, and the boxing enthusiast alike, have the tendency sometimes to
go to extremes with fighters. They can build up a current one excessively, and
sometimes with ones of the past either make them into invincible gods or into
near palookas (compared to whomever is champion at the time).Running the
risk of doing this, but I don't think I am, I see the 70s as being top tier,
with all other fighters, even the best of other eras, having to pass muster in
comparison. Some could have with flying colors. Most could not
have.However, as I said, not being able to take Frazier, Ali, or Foreman
doesn't make a fighter a bum. A notch on Joe Frazier's gun can still be a rout
with anyone else. I'm sure some guys on the street who challenged Jerry, or even
way down to Terry Daniels or Ron Stander, or Jean Pierre Coopman, etc. thought,
"Well, Frazier and Ali handled them, they aren't that hot." Tragic failure of
perspective.I remember once when a niece and a nephew stayed over for
the weekend, my nephew was hitting the bag with my husband, and said, "Wow, I'll
bet you could beat Mike Tyson!" My husband really goes at the bag and looks
impressive, but he had to laugh about that later. I did notice a certain swagger
in his step the rest of the day though! LOL!|

|11/21/03 04:51:14 PM|Fran|PA||Plc7755||||10|Kent Why do we need differing
viewpoints on this site about Jerry. He never got his due then, but he is
getting it now. |

only problem I got with Evren is that he thinks it "subjectiveness in life" and
"offering a wider spectrum in views" when the intellectual snob Giancarlo calls
the dead host of this site awful names and then refers to the rest of us as
uneducated and unintelligent illiterates. Those comments began the name calling
and Evren implies that we should accept it as a "wide spectrum of views". But,
while we are supposed to calmly accept being called names, Evren didn't like it
when he gets criticised. I don't give a damn if you don't like what I said
Evren. Also, Evren, I couldn't care less that you are a Muslim who doesn't like
President Bush. What's that got to do with this site ? Out of nowhere you came
on this site, bagged President Bush for something he said, and when you got
criticised, you say something about you being a Muslim. Nobody cares, Evren. Why
the hell would you bring that up ? It's none of our business. Go pray somewhere
else. |
