thanks again to Evren for running the tournament. It was a long hard road from
beginning to end. You know, my spell check kept saying I was spelling Muhammad
wrong, but I just ignored it. That means everything I have ever written, in
posts and articles, is wrong as I never bothered to check it. Thanks Evren.|

tournament was interesting, as it allowed for comparisons between fighters from
different eras, and gave us a chance to appreciate what made each of them
remarkable. Again, I don't think the more classic guys, except Louis, received
their full due, but it is all fun and opinion anyway. Particular to Jerry, who
fight 3 of the Final Four, it again gives him credit. He took rounds from
Frazier in their two matches and outboxed him before succumbing to Joe's power
and steam. Had Jerry fought Foreman in '73 or '74, some think he might have made
history. In this tournament I think Jerry just made the Sweet 16, showing that
the difference between some of these guys is pretty slim. I'm glad there's a
site like this, with these kinds of discussions. Fun stuff. |

still wondering if anyone knew what kind of relationship jerr had with howard
cosell? who was his favorite boxing commentator? kent, i know you have some
idea. thanks|
|10/16/02 11:12:12 PM|Kent|La Habra, ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Charles, I
don't have any direct knowledge on how Jerry got along with Cosell. I know
Jerry was cordial with him, but I am not sure why. Cosell at times said some
unkind things about Jerry. For example, in the commentary leading up to or
during the Ali verses Lyle fight, Cosell made a snide comment when he mentioned
Lyle had lost to Jerry, he said, "not many can make that claim." Which is to
say that Jerry almost always lost, which we know isn't true. Cosell was very
much a fair weather friend who didn't have much use for someone who wasn't on
top anymore. |
