like to opologize for any delays with video and T-shirt orders. The last 8 weeks
have beencomplicated. At this point I have been told I have lung cancer. All
kinds of test and treatment havebeen performed. Therefore, I have not been
on the computer much and have been to sick to stay on top of things.Please
remember the magazine has not been printed yet and the people who promised this
have not kept thier word.Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Sincerely.|

sorry to hear that James. It seems strange but my father was diagnosed with both
lung and bowel cancer last week and my whole family are devestated and trying to
deal with things in the best way for my parents. It is so important to keep
positive and 'upbeat' through the hard times. The power of 'self belief' goes a
long long way and I prey you will be fine. My dad has yet to start treatment but
he is already negative and I am constantly trying to gee him up (putting on old
fights). My thoughts are with you and I empathise with you and you family at
this hard time. Best Wishes, Evren|

hopes and prayers are with you and your family. You seem to me to be a kind and
decent man and I wish you a safe and speedy recovery from your illness. I know
you will take on this challenge with all that you have! After all, there is no
quit in a Quarry!|

champion, if boxing didnt have tko's I very much believe Jerry Quarry would have
slugged the whole 15 rounds of both matches he had with Muhammad Ali and
possibly could have beat him Quarry was a tough guy.|

TORNAMENT ON HEAVYWEIGHTS.COM? IT HAD HOLMES STOPPING JQ WITH A SINGLE BODY
PUNCH FOR THE TEN COUNT. THIS WASN"T MAXIE "PAD" KELLERMAN'S DOING,OR WAS IT?
THE WHOLE BOUT, IT ALLEGEDLY WENT 7 JERRY WAS HURT BY BODY SHOTS FROM HOLMES, I
WOULD SAY HOLMES COULD NOT HAVE KNOCKED JERRY OUT WITH A HOWITZER MUCH LESS, A
SINGLE BODY SHOT AT 43 SECONDS OF THEY 7TH ROUND. IT WAS THEY 1969 JERRY QUARRY
VS THEY 1979 LARRY HOLMES. I AM NOT SO SURE HOLMES WOULD HAVE EVEN WON.ALTHOUGH
I WOULD HAVE MADE LARRY AT LEAST AN 7-5 FAVORITE. THEY "EASTON ASSASIN" WAS THEY
MOST UNDERRATED CHAMPION OF ALLTIME. BUT JERRY ONLY HIT THE DECK 6 TIMES HIS
ENTIRE CAREER, AND ONLY LOST IN TWO OF THOSE, THEY HARDEST BODYPUNCHER OF
ALLTIME JOE FRAZIER COULD ONLY GET A 4 COUNT ON JERRY IN 1974 AND THAT DID NOT
EVEN STOP THE FIGHT . AND THEY OTHER CHUVALO, COME ON , JERRY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN
UP AND STOPPED GEORGE IN THEY 8TH, (instead of watching the clock). ONE OF THE 6
KNOCKDOWNS IN JERRY;S CAREER WAS A SLIP VS PATTERSON. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 100-1
ODDS JERRY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY A SINGLE BODY SHOT FRO HOLMES!|

This is a message for you dad. It would be real easy to be negative to my
situation.If I did become negative then it woulf effect my whole family.
Even though i may have cancer in the lungs,this doesn't mean the signing of
my death certificate. John Wayne has lung cancer for 15 years. I must remain
possitive.Not for me but my family. I do not intend to walk around feeling
poor me. If it is the case that I must die. Then I will leave myfamily with
only possitive thoughts with my family after I am gone. Please, if not for me,
please stay possive for your family!!This part is for Jimmy Dorsey, There is
no way that Holmes could have stopped Jerry with a body punch. Because of his
style, it is quite possible that Larry could have a win over Jerry, but only
