Holyfield easily, you might as well give him the title now. Ali's gifts were
numerous, the height when on his toes, the rope-like reach, weight at least even
or above most of the competition of his time, mental edges, I could go on and
on. Holyfield was great at Jerry's weight, and clearly a very good fighter, but
nowhere near what he was made out to be at his peak. He would have to be much
better defensively for Ali. He'd probably try to head-butt Ali! He never
honestly beat Tyson, could not handle a prime Bowe or Lewis. Jerry vs. Evander
would be a better match. |

outpoints Evander Holyfield over the distance on the basis of better defense,
footwork, reach, and hand speed. We Quarry fans have at times been accused of
being biased in favor of Jerry but we have shown more objectivity than we are
given credit for by voting Jerry out of the all time tournament on his own
website (although he did well to get to the final 16 out of 64)|

very good at alot of things, they 1974 SUPERSTARS, (NOT 1975).Jerry did so good
he earned enough points to be called back, set records in bowling and baseball
hitting,second in golf and went out at 22olbs in the lifting, finished second in
the bike race. (no one seems to have a tape of it ). But it was filmed right
after JQ KO OF SHAVES. HE was in shape and there to win,TAKE CARE|

Jerry, doing so well. He was in shape all the way til the end. Its great that
people remember all the shows he'd been on, Batman, KnightRider, I Dream of
Jeanie, and there are others.|
|7/23/02 08:02:21 PM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|I remember Jerry on
the Superstars too. I think it was the same one that Joe Frazier sunk to the
bottom of the pool and needed help getting out. Jerry was an athlete, Joe was a
prizefighter. I also recall other shows, Erine Shavers coming in second to
O.J. in the 100 yard dash and Foreman's epic battle with Greg Pruitt in
weightlifting. I almost forgot that show. Ali vs. Holyfield. Ali KO's Evander
in 8. Holyfield was (is) not a big banger, Evander would press Ali early, Ali
circles and jabs, the endless jabs. Holyfield try's the classic "Atlanta
Headbutt". (I've heard rumors he opened a school to teach it to welterweights).
Ali gets pissed, a whurl of punches and the fights over. Evander doesn't have
the power to neutralize Ali's speed. If you don't have it against Ali, your
doomed. Sabrina, I feel for you. I lost my Mother and Sister within a year and
my dad's not doing well. Life does go on, but it's never quite the same. You
are in my prayers. |

Jerry on the Superstar's when he is in the bike race. It looks like he has a
chance to win the race - then a fellow cuts him off (he may even bump him) and
slow him a bit. Jerry hops off the bike after the race and tracks the fellow
down who cut him off and jokingly with his fists in the air says "Hey, how about
you and me go 3 or 4 rounds...". Keith Jackson interviews him and they show
some clips of his fights - Jerry tells Keith that if he doesn't get a Title
fight within the year, he will probably hang up his gloves. Jerry is in a
swimming contest, but this is not the one where Frazier swims. I got a copy of
the tape from a fellow named (if I recall correctly): Kent Noltimier in
Minnesota. As I recall, he had most of Jerry fights on tape (as well as other
fighters). I paid him to put a few fights and a VHS tape for me. If you need
his phone number, let me know and I'll email it to you.|
