CHECKS FOR FREE" with the boxing people he was around Sly surprises me.|

Tyson to KO Vitali in 4 rounds, I guess the fist and shoe size thing threw you
off. I beleive Tyson, the "prime" Tyson could have KO'ed most of the past
heavyweight champs without much of a problem. I'm not suggesting he was
unbeatable of course but from 1985 to 1988, when he had good people around him
and he was focused, he would have given any former champ a very hard night.
The fist size thing, if you look at "Tale of The Tape" measurements of past
heavyweight champs, and you do have to take these with a grain of salt, Louis
and Dempsey, two of the most savage punchers the division ever produced, had an
11.5 inch fist measuerment. Liston had a 14 or 15 incher depending on the list,
who hit harder Liston or Louis? I think the record speaks for it self, so I
don't beleive it matters how big your fist or knuckle size is as it relates to
punching power. Hey, Vitali Klitchko is 6'7" with an 11.5 inch fist, he hits
pretty hard. And as much as R.S. knows about Frazier I'm surprised she thinks
his fist is small, I'm 5'11" and mine is a little over 11 inches Frazier is/was
5'11.5" and he has 13.5 inch ham hock....seems pretty big to me.Rocky Balboa
vs J.Q.? I don't know Kent, Balboa is a pretty tough cookie, the Clubber Lang
rematch and the fight with Drago, he might be too much for Jerry, even in a
street fight Ol' Rock is tough. Now Paulie, he might be a better matchup.|
|7/22/04 09:37:57 PM|Kent|La habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Even sillier
question, the real Tommy Morrison verses Tommy "The Machine" Gunn. A great
card? The battle of Philly, Joe Frazier verses Rocky Balboa, Supported by Jerry
Quarry verses Union Kane, Big George Foreman verses Clubber Lang, and a special
added attraction, Trevor Berbick verses Spider Rico. Rico gets both Mickey,
Rocky's trainer, and Apollo Creed, to train him and be in his corner. Spider
gets to prove he wasn't a bum to Mick because Mick called him and everybody else
Rocky ever fought before Apollo a bum.|

Quarryologist, thanks for the career breakdown. Between this and boxrec.com, a
wealth of info on JQs matches. I never knew Jerry was friends with the massive
Ron Yary, a lineman's lineman ... Klitschko-Tyson would be THE monster sellout,
the equal to Godzilla-Rodan. What a dream fight! Klitschko would impress with
his toughness taking Mike's best for 6-8 rounds, and would floor Mike at least
once, winning a couple rounds. Both men would be easy to hit, the crowd on it's
feet throughout. But a bleeding Klitschko would eventually succumb by KO. They
would play highlights from this one for months. The other match would be more
chesslike early on, with the Truth appearing on the verge of a huge upset,
catching Holyfield with his reach and jab. Evander would wear him down after
round four for a late round KO. The truth is, Williams was better than given
credit for, he showed well for Holmes, would have given Tyson a very good match
if allowed... Rocky fights are very entertaining cartoons, I loved Burgess
Meredith. Fight scenes and story lines were comical, but still cool because,
hey, it's heavyweight boxing. |

Gunn was unbeatable in the ring,but was a bum for the street fights. Even I
would have beaten him in a dark alley !If Rocky had fought Mickey,
Mickey would have easily outpointed him. He was a little over the hill (some
kind of slang, why not over the mountain ?)at the time of the Rocky fights, but
stilistically was just perfect.In Canastota, in the Boxing Hall of Fame,
there are the fists of some of the great fighters from the past ( not the real
fists, of course, but just i calchi in gesso ). Bob-That post wasn't
the real RS. I suspected that ( there was something strange in that post ) and I
asked her personally. That wasn't RS ! That was a chump ! Bob, Frazier is less
wilt than 5'11.5 !He is under 5'11 tall, let's say 5'10", same height as
