JIMMY).Lennox is'nt my fighter by the way. He did however grow up about 100yds

he was just turning professional...|

it, I have to agree that Charles would edge Jerry, based on his aggressiveness
,quickness and accuracy as a puncher. Jerry would not go easy and both fighters
would probably cut, but Charles was a better defensive fighter. It is a shorter
list, as I've said, of fighters than Ring Magazine has led many to beleive, the
heavies who are better than Jerry, certainly not 26. But Charles is on that
short list, in my opinion. I don't think Ez could knock Jerry out, but he would
outbox him.|

early morning walk this morning, I saw someone who looked quite a bit like Mike.
He was riding a bicycle and he had the same close cropped hair that Mike had in
the tribute video to Jerry. If it was Mike he is looking well, which is good
news as the Quarrys have been having a rough time of it lately. I was deep in
thought and I didn't realize it could be Mike until the man was well past me up
the street. Last I heard, Mike was living in La Mirada or Whittier, which both
border my city of La Habra, so it is quite possible it was him. If I see him
around town again, I will stop and chat with him if I can. |

LEWIS WAS A LITTLE,PREMATURE.WHO BY THE WAY WAS A GREAT FIGHTER THAT MR. TYSON
BEAT?? I CAN NAME MORE HE DUCKED (ALL PUNCHERS!!).I DO NOT REMEMBER EVEN
MENTIONING MACHEN! AND HIS BOUT,AS FOR QUARRY-CHARLES I DID NOT COMMENT. BECAUSE
I FELT I'D BE A LITTLE BIASED FOR JERRY. ITS HARD TOO SEE JERRY LOSE TO A
SMALLER OPPONENT, WHEN HE WAS BEATING MONSTERS LIKE
LYLE,SHAVERS,FOSTER,MATHIS,ETC.I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AT THIS TOURNEY FOR A
LONG TIME, AND SEEM TO BE HAVING FUN WITH IT,PERSONALLY AS MUCH AS I LIKE AND
RESPECT EZZARD CHARLES, HE WAS BEFORE MY TIME,LIKE I HAVE A TENDACY TO DOWNGRADE
MARCIANO,AND SAY FRAZIER, ITS HARD TO ARGUE WITH 49-0 43KNOCKOUTS.|

many many top rated fighters...|

that the person I saw who I thought might be Mike was probably just someone who
looked like him. I hope Mike is doing well. |

heavywieghts;First,how would you guys rate Bob Foster vs Ezzard Charles? Foster
had no success against any heavyweights of his era.Yet has to be considered one
of the top two or three lightheavy weights of all time.Ezzard Charles had mixed
success against the heavywieghts of his time.We could either assume that
Charles' heavywieght opponents where superior to Foster's,Walcott
Louis,Marciano,ect., as compared to Ali,Frazier,ect.,or not.Having said this,I
think Charles vs Foster would have been a fasciniting fight. Does anyone think
Foster could have stood up to Quarry's weight and power advantage? I do not
think Quarry would lose to any fighter 15,20,or 25 lbs lighter.He was much too
powerful for his size, and too used to wrestling with much bigger,stronger
fighters like Lyle,Frazier,Spencer,Mathis,ect.|
|7/6/02 04:38:08 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|While I'm on the
subject.If you belief Charles could defeat both Quarry and Bob Foster,then that
would surely put him in amoung the top ten heavywieghts of all time.|
|7/6/02 06:30:00 PM|Joe Krause|Chicago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|I have Charles
and Quarry in the 15-25 range all-time heavies. As far as light-heavy the
