January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

was the last time Tua beat a quality fighter)5. Trevor Berbick vs
James Toney Very good fight. Berbick coming Toney slipping. I like Toney by
Decision using the angles.4. Renaldo Snipes vs Vitali Klitschko
1982 may have been the last good year for Snipes. But I think this fight plays
out alot like the Holmes fight with Klitschko controlling the early rounds but
like the Holmes fight sometime around round 7 or 8 Snipes lands that right hand
fired from hell only difference is Viltali dont get up like Larry did. Snipes by
KO.3. Gerrie Coetzee vs Roy Jones You gotta like Roy in this
fight, but hold your breath if Coetzee lands that bionic right. Jones by
Decision. to fast for the slow footed Coetzee.2. Mike Weaver vs
Corrie Sanders Sanders wins the first three rounds against a very slow
starting Weaver. Weaver starts to come on around the fourth or fifth round and
catches up with a tiring Sanders around the ninth or tenth and stops
Sanders.1. Michael Dokes vs Chris Byrd Dokes at this point in
his career was a very very fast swarming heavyweight with decent power. Byrd a
very good boxer doesnt have the punch to keep a young Dokes off him. Dokes by a
decision.World Champion. Larry Holmes vs Lennox Lewis 1982 may
have been Larry's last very good year and 2003 may have Shown signs of the last
of Lennox Lewis. I like Larry behind that very good jab and nice foot work.
Holmes by a late round stoppage maybe 11th. or 12th.|

my earlier posting regarding which champs JQ would have beaten. I should have
included Leon Spinks and don't know if Mike Weaver was a legit champ or not. If
he was, put him on that list too. |

WBA champ once, KOing "Big John" Tate. I'm not sure when the paper trail
nonsense began in earnest, with no end in sight, but there have been runs of
chumps, er, I mean champs who could almost qualify as a cast of lumberjacks such
as the five George Foreman beat one after another on the same night.|

description of Sharkey " just a place holder waiting for someone decent to come
along". Now I got ( I try with "got" instead of the trivial "have" )a question
for you: WHO WAS THIS DECENT GUY ? Another question: what was Wilt' s shoe
size ?I'm sure that everyone in this site would love to know that even if
somebody would never admit it to himself !|
|2/5/04 06:39:47 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Massimo, but
who knows the shoe size of Mel Counts, a player who was a back up center on the
Celtics, with Bill Russell and later with the Lakers, with Wilt? Counts was
about 7'1" tall and when he played with the Lakers, he often played at the same
time alongside Wilt. I believe it was the first time two seven footers ever
played on the same team, at the same time. Counts was rather skinny though, he
only weighed between 225 to 230 poinds compared to Wilt's listed weight of 275
pounds.|

that Yao' s shoe size is only 18 or 19 ( Cinderella' s feet ! ) ! For your
information , my shoe size is 40 ( in the Italian system ), but I'm a pituitary
giant ! Primo Carnera' s shoe size was 52 ( you know, he was still bigger than
me ),Robert Wadlow shoe size was 37 ( in the American system ). He had the
largest feet ever ! This discussion about shoe size is so fashinating ! Paul and
RS, what the hell are your shoe sizes, guys ? |

Sharkey was knocked out by none other than da Preem!I don’t know
what Wilt’s shoe size was. From pictures I’ve seen, he changed in appearance at
the two ends of his career. At the beginning, he was a beanpole, but at the end,
he looked like he’d lifted weights – still lean, but more rangy/muscular than
