to keep his opponents from getting the ball. Wilt was also a better passer,
Wilt was faster up and down the court. He also had better timimg on blocking
shots. Wilt would let an opponent think he had gotten the shot off and then
Wilt would time the ball at the top of its flight and he would block it at the
last mmoment.Most of Shaqs moves are pure power and while Wilt was also
very powerful and he could dunk with a couple of guys hanging on him like Shaq,
Shaq is the stronger of the two players and harder to stop when he is intent on
dunking (as Wilt was too). Another thing in Shaq's favor is he has more guys
his own size and sometimes even bigger to compete with. Wilt was guarded by
guys around 6'10" or 6'11" compared to his 7'1" height. There were not that
many players over 7'0" when Wilt played|

was better, Shaq is very close to him, anyway... I have seen Raptors-Lakers, and
Shaq was unstoppable !Another pivot I like very much is Sabonis ! Another is
Warren Coolidge...|

regards to which champion JQ would have beaten. Here are some off the top off my
head: Braddock, Sharkey, Schmeling, Carnera, Ingo Johanson, Patterson. AND
MAYBE: Charles and Walcott.|

thought it boring that RS has returned to the gay subject ad nauseum, calling
whomever she does not like homosexual, cheats or fight fixers. The list of her
targets is long, but the evidence for her accusations is non-existent. If that
type of behaviour is allowed to continue, Angelo, then this site will live in
the gutter. There should be some standards of decency, particularly when the
author is anonymous and the targets of her venom are former boxers who are also
decent, honorable human beings with families and friends. RS should not be
allowed to use this site to slur the reputations of good people on a whim as she
has been doing. We've ignored her in the past but that hasn't worked. Others are
entitled to object. |

which champion JQ would have beaten. Here are some off the top off my head:
Braddock - could be. The "Cinderella Man" got lucky winning the crown
anyway, over a nutty, inconsistent, sometimes not in shape Baer. Sharkey
- pretty hard puncher, but really just a place holder waiting for someone decent
to come along. Schmeling - he could fight, but his win over Louis wasn't
indicative of his ability, but rather of an ability to capitalize on a stylistic
flaw of Louis's.Carnera - I wonder what Massimo has to say about this?
:-) Ingo Johanson - it still amazes me that he beat Patterson. Not that
Floyd was an immortal or anything, but he was better than Ingo. Just got caught,
I guess... Patterson - he drew and won a split over him. How would JQ
have done against a super prime FP? Patterson didn't have a super chin, but very
quick hands, a decent punch (not Foreman!), and good fundamentals.
Charles and Walcott - think so? I think there's a chance too, though
these guys held in there pretty tough with the Rock.|

some recent Champions who Jerry Quarry would have beaten. Starting with Ali's
loss to Leon Spinks, some men have held the title, who Quarry would have taken.
While Holmes held the WBC title, there were a few different guys who won the WBA
title. And before and during Tyson, a few more "Champions" who Quarry would
have outclassed easily. Michael Dokes? Greg Page?Gerrie Coetzee? These
names represent talented, top notch sparring partners for an in-prime Quarry.
Holmes, Tyson and Holyfield would have managed to beat Jerry, but "other"
Heavyweight Champs in the same eras as these "real" champions would lose. |
