CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|KENT; I agree, JERRY should have stayed
right there in that broadcast booth,for CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR,and been
happy,there were a lot of heavyweights around making ungodly money that were far
inferior to JERRY'S CAREER. And of course the lure of $ included JQ TOO.Even
BOONE KIRKMAN WAS MAKING A COMEBACK!! i had a ring magazine "comebacks in
jeopardy" AND IT WAS AN ARTICLE, on DON KING, and JERRY'S Bout with ZANON.JQ was
getting pressure from friends,even the networks were bidding for his comeback
including CBS. TO "get in there". Of course when you see EVANGELISTA going 15
w/ALI. FOR MORE DOUGH THAN JQ EVER MADE IN ONE FIGHT! When your doing the
commentary!? I also remember seeing on the news were JQ had broken his back,
than sometime later he's on a comeback in "VEGAS" and also,I BELIEVE THEY BEST
TIME FOR JERRY to retire permanetly would be after that terrible cut vs ALI . AS
you selfish me would have wanted him back on the scene. Although we were all
ready for him to call it a day after NORTON permanetly. also "CURLY" I MEAN
"KENT". i have that clipping of that truck wreck i could send a copy. He was
also doing a lot of television at the time. TAKE CARE!|

Sunny Sardinia - what a place - great food and wine lovely scenery great company
- WOW ! Anyway - In a fight greater than their actual three Ali will eek out a
decision over Joe. I'll go for Foreman over Louis by 5th round ko. |
|9/16/02 12:16:23 PM|Joe Krause|Chciago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|Ali wins by
decision in a 8-6-1 type fight. Frazier fans say they were robbed, and they
might have been right, but Ali gets the nod. I already stated previously that
Foreman KO's Louis in about 6.|
|9/16/02 03:25:45 PM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|AGAIN ON LOUIS: I
will go a step further--I think Frazier would have beaten Louis. Joe had a
real hard time against a crouching, plodding Arturo Godoy. Frazier was faster,
smarter, much harder punching, and heavier than Godoy. Please don't get me
wrong, I think Joe was great for his day, but he fought small men and fought
none of the top African American heavies of his day. If a white fighter had
avoided fighting a black fighter for as many years as Louis did, he would have
beencrucified by the press.|

the 'great black fighters' of Louis' era that he avoided ?|
|9/16/02 07:30:34 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|Ken and Jimmy,my
strongest apology if I've caused any problem with your computers! I failed to
update my virus scanner and was infected with a virus that attaches itself to
your e-mail address and sends out infected e-mail to to people you have sent
mail to previously.I received e-mail from both your scanners allerting me of the
virus!I have have reformatted my windows 98 and installed a new virus
scanner,again,my apologies.On a lighter note,Gil Clancy rated the Quarry vs Lyle
fight as the fourth greatest fight he ever worked.Remember,Clancy worked in
Frazier's corner for the first Ali vs Frazier fight! That's saying something
about Quarry vs Lyle.I watched that fight on tv and was ecstatic at the end.I
can't remember enjoying any fight that much,except the DeLaHoya unmasking of a
deluded Vargas. Quarry vs Lyle was the best
overall fight of Jerry's career.He was perfect against a guy who was as big,
strong,tough and hard hitting as Forman.I'ts the only time I've seen Jerry adapt
perfectly for the occasion.He combined his punching power with his excellent in-
and-out boxing skills and his true gift,counterpunching. |

been having some trouble with my computer lately. I haven't had any kind of
virus alert come up. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem? Also,
would I be sending it to other people I have E-mailed? I have never set up my
address book and I send each E-mail seperate. I am hoping this means that I
haven't sent the virus to anyone else. |
