outs of such magnitude.(pitiful)|

think Liston was near 40 when he fought Ali. Wepner said when he first saw
Liston in the ring when they fought, he thought to himself "Wow, this guy really
looks old"|

the Ali'-Folley fight were a little misterious and strange, I can't see them
clearly. But from the way Zora reacted to the punches and fell down there's no
doubt that they landed and landed hard. Sometimes, when the young Ali' fought a
blinking could be enough to miss his punches. He was so fast ! |

were rigged, He was a great fighter, his early years he was great, as he got
older than yea his fights maybe were rigged. It sounds like you need an
English class.|
|8/27/04 02:06:37 PM|Mike|Philly||yammagamma300||||10|Tony -nothing personal
just busting your stones. I was reading some of the comments, And i think JQ
could have easily beat Liston, getting cut is always a issue. But i think if
there's anybody out there who could beat Liston it would be JQ & Ali. Smoking
Joe it would be another war, the outcome ???|
|8/27/04 03:08:45 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Read an interesting article on Tommy
Morrison as he is today. He admits that during his prime he used to shoot up on
Steroids because all his contempories were (this isn't verified). He said that
he had to to keep up! I find this most upsetting indeed. He said boxers knew
exactly when to take drugs as to not get caught during comission tests! I know
that Roy Jones failed a drug test once (nothing was done). What a sad state of
affairs. Anyone keeping up with the Olympics - the Americans have only one
finalist which is at Light-Heavy. Very disappointing. Cubans have seven
finalists. Massimo - watching your Super Heavy representative I was watching
the reincarnation of 'Da Preem'. He got a well deserved bronze.|
|8/27/04 03:43:00 PM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Evren-Thanks. Yeah,
Cammarelle is a good fighter, just (or only) a little slow in defence(or
defense). He got a bronze medal like the unforgettable Giorgio Brambini. Ask
Giorgio Eduardo Foreman about (or on)Giorgio Brambini and he will say :" Ah yes,
Brambini, I kicked his ass in 1968 ! ". Too bad that, when Primo Carnera was
around there weren't Olimpic competitions yet. He would have won a gold medal
hands down and not in the light-heavyweight division, like somebody else did (
TSK ! TSK !). What did upset me the most was USA's loss in the basketball
tournment against Argentina. Was Wilt a bum ?I still love USA though !|

heartbreakers for Jerry Quarry are, the Ellis fight, in which during the 13th
round Jerry had Ellis hurt from a great left hook and a couple of follow ups and
he could have finished him if he had just jumped on Ellis like he did to M.
Foster, Spencer, and later to Shavers. It is a heartbreaker because Jerry would
have been a world champion even if only briefly.The second one is the
Chuvalo fight in which Jerry is knocked down but not badly hurt. He should have
beaten the count and lasted the round and he likely would have stopped Chuvalo
in the next two rounds as Chuvalo had taken a lot of punishment. There is no
way Chuvalo should have won that fight.The third heartbreaker is the
second Ali fight in which for much of the fight, Jerry plods after Ali throwing
one punch at a time meanwhile absorbing Ali's arsenal. This is a tactic that
could never hope to work against Ali and at least in the first Ali fight, Jerry
was aggresive and pressing the action and it is a shame that he got cut. Still,
I don't feel the frustration as a Quarry fan that Jerry hadn't done his best
that I feel in the second Ali fight. I know a lot of people say Jerry
wasn't mentally in the fight because of his concern for his brother Mike, who
was brutally knocked out by Bob Foster in the CO feature bout, but this just
gives fuel to Jerry's critics who say Jerry's fans are just making excuses for
