thing about Dokes is he wasted his talent by using drugs. He admits to snorting
Cocaine before the Coetzee fight. Coetzee was a bit of a plodder, with the
upright, stiff European style of boxing, although he did have a good left jab to
go with a hard right hand. Dokes was not at his best when they fought and maybe
he could have outboxed Coetzee if he had been but who knows, Coetzee may have
dropped the right hand bomb on him anyway. In any case, I tuned into the fight
expecting a good fight only to see Coetzee dominate most of the rounds leading
to a tenth round knockout. Dokes would have made the fight close, even if he
lost if he had been at his best.|

been clearly underdog against George Foreman, let's say 1-4 or 1-5. Jerry
did beat Ron Lyle. Lyle was almost as wilt* as Foreman, could punch hardand,
as far as skills go, ( eh, eh, I'm learning English)he was at least as good
as Giorgio Eduardo.If Peralta could give George a pretty close fight, I
think Jerry would have had a decent chance of doing the same. I think Peralta's
chin was one of the sturdiest in boxing history, but Jerry's chin was very good
too. And Jerry wouldn't have been intimidated by Foreman. Nobody could
intimidate Jerry ! Eeeeeeeeeeeeh gia', gia', gia', gia' !!!!!!!!!!!Don't you
agree Cunningham ?I got it, I still got it !* "wilt " it's slang ! It
means " tall ".|

you guys mean about Buster Douglas. Anyone who is his size with skills has to be
respected. It interested me that he has diabetes. Any other outstanding fighters
with diabetes?All I can say is this Porkchop character must have had a
baseball bat or brass knuckles to down JQ, or maybe caught him after too many
beers or something. Of course, it couldn't have been a bat or knucks, as Jerry's
brothers would have retaliated massively. A lucky kick that caught JQ? I can't
imagine anyone stupid enough to take JQ on, unless maybe the stupid guy's twin
brother was King Kong. One of my good La Habra buds was Xavier Campos, known
as X, Kent. He's an LA fire captain now, somewhere in East LA, unless he
retired. Real big dude, maybe 6'1", 240. Good football center. I wear a
size 13 but was not a good fighter. As the old saying goes, I enjoyed it until
the other guy hit back! Anyone know is Joey Orbillo is still an LA cop? An
outstanding guy, and brave against old pal JQ even though very much outclassed.
I wonder what shoe size Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb or Rosey Grier wore. (They
were huge American footballers, Massimo. Buon giorno, paisan!) Didn't basketball
center Bob Lanier wear a 22 or so? Are any of the young Quarrys boxing now?

Campos does not ring a bell although I remember Leo and Rene Campos who lived
around the corner from me. Maybe he was related to them. They would have
graduated between 77 to 79. Both of them were average size guys, around 5'10"
or so, maybe 160 to 180 pounds or so.Massimo, isn't American television
great? or at least it was great. Sincerely Richard J. Cunningham.|

feet in NBA history. They all wear a 22 size shoe. Andre' Rene' Rousimoff ( the
famous wrestler Andre' the Midget did wear a size 5 1/2 shoe ). He was affected
from nanism.These things should be taught at school !!Angelo-
Morris Thorpe, who ? I'd trade Kobe Bryant for Warren Coolidge, that's for
sure ! Warren rappresents the biggest waste of talent in basketball history ! He
was potentially way better than Wilt. But you just can't achieve greatness with
a coach like Ken Reeves and ateam like the Carver ! Come on ! Warren was the
