Dundee, I guess)-I'd like to know exactly how big are Shaq's hands in
inches. They keep saying that he ain't good in free throws because his hands
are too big. Are they bigger than Carnera's ? Biggerthan Liston's ? Bigger
than Andre's ? Bigger than Lane's ? Bigger than Coolidge's ?|

Mr. Jimmy AKA James Quarry to those who don't know, was a nice guy. I know I
only got to know him because his brothers were professional fighters but I am
glad I did as he would have been worth knowing even if his brothers were not
boxers. One thing you forgot to mention about Jerry and knockdowns is
that Jerry was 4-2-1 in the fights in which he was knocked down. Jerry usually
got up and fought back harder. In the fights he didn't win, one was the draw
against Patterson in their first fight, one was the freak loss to Chuvalo, and
one was in the second Frazier fight. Jerry just as easily could have been 6-1
in fights he was knocked down. I don't think he could have won the second
Frazier fight as Joe was very good that night and Jerry just didn't have it.|

cannot be serious !Everybody cares about that in the bottom of the
heart, but it needs courage to admit it !|

it's kind of freakish when you consider Wilt at 7'1" had a size 14 and Tyson at
5'10" has a size 13.5 shoe. The great Jazz/Blues musician Jelly Roll Morton was
5'7" over 200 pounds and had size a 15 shoe and his hand spread was enough to
cover a quarter of the piano keys. Quite a ladies man I hear. I would think
Shaq's hands are quite a bit bigger than Da' Preem's though...I don't know. I
don't think a fighters hand size has anything to do with punching power, three
of heavyweights hardest hitting champions had a smaller fist size, Dempsey and
Louis had an 11.5 inch fist while Marciano's fist measured 10.5. Massimo, I
guess it's not the size, it's how you use it. Although.....|
|7/9/04 04:51:02 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Cooney and Norton are
through.Next two matches : - Leon Spinks vs Jimmy EllisBuster
Douglas vs Joe FrazierGreat matches I think. Ali wore a size 12
Massimo!|
|7/9/04 05:27:13 PM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Evren-What a disappointment !
I thought Ali's shoesize was 13 ! Muhammad Ali's legend is over in my book
!Bob-I wonder whether Andre's hand was big enough to cover
Serena Grandi's or Pamela Anderson's breast !|

WASHINGTON||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Kent: Jerry was knocked down vs Roy
Crear,Al "MEMPHIS" Jones (twice) Floyd Patterson,George Chuvalo,Joe Alexander
and Joe Frazier.so he was 3-2-1 3-knockouts.His knockdown vs Rufus Brassell was
after the bell and did not count.(no pun intended!).In the Jones fight alone
Jerry suffered a broken jaw and lost 4 teeth!! And still came back for the KO.
Some of that Microfilm stuff will drive you crazy,if your not already there.|

Buster Douglas. After a slow start, Frazier finds his rhythm around the 3rd or
4th round. He begins to smoke heavily around the middle rounds, ending the
fight with a 10 count knockout with a vintage power hook---Frazier by knockout,
round nine, over a very tired Douglas.Jimmy Ellis wins a unanimous decision
over Spinks. Spinks wins one or two early rounds, actually hurting Ellis in the
second round. But Ellis settles in and picks Spinks apart, making him look very
wild and amatuerish at times. Ellis by decision, and it's not close.|
