class guy, a lotta people did not know THAT JIMMY Q. fought professional in a<br />
bout on the "vegas strip" series promoted by BILL MILLER IN 1966.About the time<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> had a bout with ED LAND.I WROTE to him a write up about it, i wonder in<br />
modern history , had there ever been 4 brothers fight pro,Jimmy also worked<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> and MIke's corner. when they took on the "soul brothers" i have a tape of<br />
that. I have to admit, personally haven't shown a whole lot of respect for<br />
Marciano, When your the champion of the whole wide world and 49-0. kinda hard to<br />
argue that point,lets put it this way,Ali,Frazier,foreman,louis,dempsey had been<br />
49-0. they would be unopposed "greatest" WITH ROCK its like why pick that guy??<br />
as far as MAXIE 'pad" Kellerman goes,Forest Ward is right he acts like he's some<br />
kinda badass on tv with the black shirt, and "pencil neck". he really<br />
disrespected <strong>Quarry</strong> once, said he was a soft touch!!? But thats not my opinion's<br />
on his fight knowledge,VERY VERY OVERPAID!!and not a stooge like our respected<br />
and friend moe(MR.JIMMY).|<br />

ANYONE REMEMBER,WHEN THE WELTER'S WERE GOING STRONG,JOHNNY "the heat"<br />
VERDEROSA?? THE HEAT WAS HOT!! UNTIL HE RAN INTO BOZA EDWARDS, AND GOT HIS FLAME<br />
EXTINGUISHED,AS WELL AS HIS LIGHTS?|<br />
|3/15/03 05:16:24 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|Jimmy Dorsey,did<br />
Kellerman actually say <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> was a soft touch?How does this loudmouth kid<br />
stay on TV?He seems to have a perspective on boxing history that is at best<br />
strange,at worst uninformed.I know he reads alot and watches films on boxing<br />
history.He lacks , whoever,the experience of having been alive and watching or<br />
discussing these fights when they occurred.This kid can't even make an educated<br />
guess on today's fighters!I enjoy the way Teddy Atlas sort of snickers and<br />
smirks at Kellerman's remarks on Friday night fights. Based on old time films<br />
I've seen,didn't Dempsey have a distinct advantage over Marciano in that he<br />
could hover over a fallen opponent, and hit him as soon as he tried to get<br />
up,with no neutral corner rule?|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|STEVE: BEFORE JERRY'S UNTIMELY DEATH AND<br />
RIGHT BEFORE THE FOUNDATION, HE SAID THEY QUARRY-ALI FIGHT,WAS THE SOFTEST TOUCH<br />
IN BOXING HISTORY FOR ALI,WE ARE TALKING THE FIRST BOUT,SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE TOLD<br />
HIM, HE WAS VIEWING THE SECOND BOUT,THAT THE FIRST BOUT WAS STOPPED ON THAT BAD<br />
CUT, HE WAS GOING BY THE LAS VEGAS BOUT, THAT ESPN SHOWD OVER AND OVER AND OVER<br />
AGAIN, JUST HAPPEND TO BE HIS WORST PERFORMANCE,SLAPSIE MAXIE, COULDN'T EVEN GET<br />
HIS BOUTS STRAIGHT,AND MAKES BIG BUCKS $ FOR HIS LACK OF EFFORT,FOR YEARS!!THEN<br />
ON THE SAME PROGRAM,HE SAID BONAVENA WAS THE "REAL" fighter,over <strong>Quarry</strong> and his<br />
bout with Ali.I'D SAY jERRY WOULD HAVE BEATEN bONAVENA HANDILY, AND MAYBE EVEN A<br />
KNOCKOUT!!|<br />
|3/15/03 06:37:26 PM|Paul|Australia||PlMls||||10|Just a few comments on<br />
Marciano. We can question the quality of his opponents, but as everyone knows<br />
he can only beat whoever is put in front of him. Probably a more debatable<br />
issue is whether the legend of Marciano would ever have begun had he been<br />
fighting under today's 12 round championship rule ? Was he doing enough at the<br />
end of the 12th round of his fight with Walcott to justify him taking the title<br />
from the champion on points ? Probably not. And would he have won his first<br />
fight with Charles had it also been over 12 rounds ? Probably, but it was<br />
close, and under today's rules that fight might have been stopped much earlier<br />
because of that wicked cut on Rocky's left eye. Also, Marciano weighed 184<br />
pounds and would be a midget by today's standards and his short frame probably<br />
couldn't fit any more bulk on it even with today's improved training techniques,<br />
diet, etc. However, imagine how easily Marciano would have dominated the<br />
cruiserweights of today with his devastating power. But the real measure of<br />
Marciano's greatness was that no fighter was ever the same again after they<br />
fought him. |
