just flashes in the pan and had no longevity. They are up against solid seasoned
pro's from another era. Spencer over SmithCharles over DokesSome of
these guys on a given night would look great and be much bigger and stronger but
the old pro's with all the tricks and expeirience would prevail most of the time
in a chameeeeenship match.|

Nixon a top middleweight and Jerry's brother in law. Whatever happened to him?
And aren't you the sister that sang with Jerry on the Ed Sullivan show? |

singing with Jerry, Although I should not be speaking for Brenda,who did a great
job speaking on the Donahue show,No Kent your right it is no big deal about the
street,And I'll always confide in the Curly Q. Link of our famed "Fearless
leaders club" I also no longer have unlimited long distance,so I have to watch
my bucks since I'VE moved. I'll try to send an updated record of Quarry, real
soon. And whats new that I found out. One thing about Jerry Quarry being your
favorite fighter, his career bouts never bore you. I also looked up some stuff
on Mike Nixon,and got a few pictures of his Las Vegas bout with Rossman.Which I
witnessed "live" Nixon was too cocky,And liked to got his head took off, by a
big Rossman right hand,Nixon had no dog in him,just had the bad rep of not
taking all that great a punch,his Ko's should have been at least twice as many
as he had, for despite only 10 ko's in 37 bouts. Was a big slugger with both
hands.|

pretty good website to view boxers records is "boxing rec".Not completely
accurate but close. |

the local star, Micheal Dokes over Charles. I think Charles would go about 190
pounds, Dokes would be too big for him. I'll take Bonecrusher in his match too,
same reason. I did see that boxrec site to see Quarry's record, he beat alot of
guys with good records, even if some of those guys are not well known. Spencer
and Foster were too very high ranked guys, nobody I know has ever heard of them,
it's like they disappeared after Quarry beat them. Jerry had 15 or so more wins
than Frazier had total fights when they met the first time, and Frazier started
his career sooner! Maybe Quarry had too many before reaching the top? He was
very close to being champ, but there were four big champions in his era it seems
to me. Foreman's compliment of him is very good, but I think George would have
been way too big and strong for him. Quarry did have his respect, which is not a
small thing. Really interesting reading about Quarry's era. Thanks again. |

as clearly better than Dokes, and very tough. Charles was very, very close to
beating Marciano,and was a great boxer. Dokes was vulnerable to accurate
punchers like Coetzee, Charles would win a lopsided decision. Spencer-Smith is
tough to call. Smith could punch, is a lot like today's guys in that he is a so-
so boxer. Spencer could really box, he would really bother Smith, I think. Could
go either way, I'll take Spencer by close decision, taking Smith's best punches.
As far as Foreman-Quarry, not to beat an old horse, Foreman would have taken
Quarry as a very serious opponent if they had met. Whatever their diff in size,
that really says something more than the kind compliments. Thanks. |
