yes, agreed Jerry did have hand speed over George. But the Foreman who destroyed
Norton had legs that were just as fast as Jerry's. Also, even though the
Foreman-Lyle fight was one of the most exciting and re-watched fights of all
time it was actually George at his worst. He was very rusty after the Ali fight
and had still had some mental things to work out after that loss. He was wild,
slow, and rusty in that fight. But in his next major fight, the second Frazier
battle he overcame all that and looked very good. We can't judge Foreman soley
on the very sloppy (but fun) Lyle fight. It was George at his worst, even though
he won. I saw Jerry fight Joe Alexander (who I believe scored a knockdown) and
Randy Neuman and even though he won, they were by no means a fair indication of
how good Jerry really was. All fighters have performances like that but they
can't be extrapolated and have their entire career evaluated on that.
Personally I think George peaked with the second Frazier fight. And since he
retired way too early we will never know how good he could have been. |

not sure what you mean by Foreman had just as fast legs as Jerry. If you meant
to say hand speed, that is true For Norton, as Norton (not Foreman) was quick,
but if you meant leg speed, while Jerry was not quick footed, he could move and
fight backward while Norton (and Foreman also) were more effective moving
forward. That Norton could only move into Foreman made him more varnible to
Foreman's attack than Jerry would have been. Remember that throughout Jerry's
career, Jerry was very good at Nailing figthers coming in with counter punches.
This is why although Foreman would be a favorite going into a fight with Jerry,
I would say about 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 odds, Jerry would still have a better chance
of beating Foreman than Norton or Frazier, who also had difficulty moving
backwards in a fight|
|10/25/02 02:24:27 PM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|TO KENT: Agreed
Jerry could fight moving backwards much better than Frazier. Not sure about
Norton. I think George just cut the ring down on Ken. Peralta fought pretty well
on the run against a very young George. All things considered, I still think
George's size, jab, power, combined with Jerry's tender skin would have done it
for him. But Jerry could counter punch and early in his career Georgelacked
stamina and maybe Jerry would have gotten to him in a late round. I would still
pick George.|

on a Saturday morning and low and behold, something is not right in Quarryville!
I have spoken to Bobby several times, mainly about the event he is putting on
(which I am helping get the word out on) and boxing, and though I don't know him
well, some annonomous comment does not make me form an opionon on Bobby.
Besides, it is not my place to get involved in Quarry personal matters anyway.
