January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Bobby Chyze!I know that Bobby chyze has an I.Q.that is of the charts.Maybe
Chavulo does too.|

?.it||||10|On Chuvalo-I have seen a synthesis of his first fight with an
in prime Muhammed Ali' and he gave him a very tough fight. Ali' won clearly on
points but Chuvalo's were maybe the hardest punches.He fought toe to toe
with the likes of Bonavena, Terrell and Patterson and maybe got robbed in some
of these fights. He beat somehow Jerry Quarry also. He knocked out Doug Jones.
It's strange that a guy who fought so well against the best in the division had
so many losses in his record. Asked who were the three hardest punchers he had
ever fought in his career, he said: George Foreman, Mel Turnbow ( a journayman
with a very dangerous punch ) and Mike De John. He added: Mike De John was a
real good banger.He didn't mention neither Ali' and Frazier.|

Chuvalo in 12. George knocks Vladdy down in the 8th round with a hook to the
body and it looks like big "K" is through, but Klitschko comes back behind his
jab in round 9 & 10. George continues to bang to the body but is missing wildly
to the head. Klitschko hangs on with his jab to win a split decesion. Both men
are cut and look exhusted at the end. Spinks wins a decesion over Weaver.
Spinks at 203 out boxes Weaver at 208 to win 8 rounds to 4. neither man was in
serious trouble during the bout, the plodding Weaver couldn't find a way to get
past the Spinks jab to do any real damage. |

Chuvalo beat Quarry, but I do still consider him one my favorite heavies.
Chuvalo does have a website against drug use, which is worth a look. Against
Ali, he notes he went dancing with his wife after the fight. Ali reportedly went
to the hospital... Wilt was a professional athlete and businessman, is that the
question? Kareem was 7'3" reportedly, Wilt said he was a shade shorter than
Kareem, which most agree with. Shaq is listed at 7'1" , but the truth about all
three is anyone's guess. Three giant legends, anyway you measure them. The
Lakers paid them all very handsomely for their time. You can add George Mikan to
that list too.|
|6/8/04 02:21:39 AM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Gerry-I was only joking with
the fact that Wilt looked an amateur in comparison with Shaq. Shaq has been
really devastating in game 1, when he is motivated and focusated, nobody can
stop him. He can't win the games by himself, tough. He shook hands with Kareem
before game 1 with the Pistons and didn't look shorter than him. I know people
who would look short beside Jabbar.|
|6/8/04 03:54:15 PM|Evren|Turkey||@||||10|I pick Klitschko to eek out a decision
over Chuvalo after faltering..but hanging on in the last. I also pick Spinks
over Weaver by 8-4 decision. Next two fights tomorrow. |
|6/8/04 10:32:18 PM|Gerry|Cleveland||Big Fat Shaq.com||||10|Massimo, had to
comment on you assessment of Shaq. No one can stop him, yeah, because there's
only five decent centers today in the whole watered-down league. I get the
feeling you think he's the best ever, a lot of people would even agree. But it's
just not true. He's easily an all-time Top Ten Center, but not the best ever.
You may resume your cheering, thanks. |

centers over the years as it is to evaluate boxers. If I were starting a team,
I'd take Kareem Abdul Jabbar over Chamberlain, O'Neal, Russell and Olajuwon. But
it really depends on teammates and matchups against rivals. Each of these Hall
of Famers did different things. Is Oscar de la Hoya going to handle
Bernard Hopkins, if they actually have the fight? I have my doubts. How
many of you were glad to see Roy Jones, Jr. KOed? I don't like fighters who
clown around, with the exception of Ali. Where is schoolmarm or whatever
her name is, the woman who liked Frazier as her all-time best?Neither of
