know if Marciano was going to buy <strong>Jerry</strong>'s contract or at least a piece of it. I<br />
read he droped the idea after <strong>Jerry</strong> lost to Machen or after the first Patterson<br />
fight. I don't know anybody who knows boxing that would call <strong>Jerry</strong> a "soft<br />
touch". Like I said Maxie is young. |<br />
|3/15/03 10:08:16 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|I don't think that<br />
even Ali considered <strong>Jerry</strong> a "soft touch" in either of their fights.I think <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
on a good night would have easily outboxed Bonevena.After absorbing some hard<br />
shots.I still have a problem with comparisons of Jack Dempsey and most modern<br />
day champions.Again I refer to the old films where Dempsey is standing over his<br />
opponent, and clubbing him when he starts to get up.|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@yahoo.com||||10|YOU SEE FELLOW STOOGES!!(AND I SAY THAT<br />
WITH THEY UTMOST RESPECT KNUCK! KNUCK KNUCK!).IF MAX CONSIDERED JERRY A "SOFT<br />
TOUCH".I HAVE NO QUALMS IN CONSIDERING HIM "MAXIE PAD".THATS HOW HE WOULD FARE<br />
AGAINST JERRY,AND ESPECIALLY AS AN ANAYLST,PEOPLE FORGET,JERRY WON AWARDS OVER<br />
HOWARD COSELL,HIS VERY FIRST YEAR FOR CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR,WITH TOM<br />
BROOKSHIER,FOR HIS COMMENTARY,USED TO LOVE THEIR OPENING THEME AND MUSIC,(THEY<br />
MADE IT EXCITING).MAXIE COULDN'T EVEN BEAT JERRY AS AN ANAYLST.AND HE'S BEEN<br />
DOING IT AT LEAST SINCE 1992(YOU HAVE TO GROW UP SOMETIME,MAYBE THE BIG BUCKS<br />
FOGS HIS BRAIN.OKAY ENOUGH OF "maxie pad"(SORRY LADIES).TO BOB:YES MARCIANO HAD<br />
A BIG INTEREST IN BUYING THE QUARRY CONRTRACT.AND RENEGED AFTER HIS DEFEAT TO<br />
MACHEN.|<br />
|3/17/03 02:44:25 AM|Evren|London||evren@btinternet.com||||10|<strong>Jerry</strong> was never a<br />
soft touch for anyone. He had 2 one sided losses to Frazier 2nd and Ali 2nd. Are<br />
we to say the Tyson is a soft touch as he lost so onesided to Lewis? I don't<br />
think so! When you see who <strong>Jerry</strong> beat and also who he lost to there is no shame<br />
at all, other than I wished he could have been champion. Beating Ellis would<br />
have been his best chance. |<br />
|3/17/03 03:37:45 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I agree that<br />
Max Kellerman has a long way to go to be as good of a commentator as <strong>Jerry</strong> was.<br />
I had a couple of friends who were convinced that <strong>Jerry</strong> was a second rate<br />
fighter because they remembered his performances agaisnt Ali in their second<br />
meeting and in the Norton fight. I played them round one of the first<br />
Frazier/<strong>Quarry</strong> fight, round six of the Mac Foster fight, round one of the<br />
Shavers fight, and round twelve of the Spencer fight. <strong>The</strong>y were speecless for<br />
at least a minute afterwards until one of them said, "that <strong>Quarry</strong> was a bad ass<br />
motherf***er!" My other buddy just nodded his head in agreement, still shocked<br />
by what I had shown him. <strong>The</strong>y now know how good <strong>Jerry</strong> really was! |<br />
|3/17/03 07:31:02 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|FOREST: I<br />
personally rate Jake LaMotta as one of the ruggest, most fearless fighters who<br />
ever lived. He is one of the few oldtime white fighters whom the old African<br />
American boxers speak very respectfully of today. He fought all comers and took<br />
alot of tough guys out of Graziano's way. What really makes me laugh is last<br />
week on the classic sports cable channel they did a pretty good special on the<br />
histor of African American boxers. <strong>The</strong>y mentioned they great Sugar Ray with a<br />
comment something like "whom Jake LaMotta had been ducking" Ducking!! they<br />
fought SIX TIMES. That's ducking? I think Graziano hit harder than LaMotta but<br />
I would have picked LaMotta in 8 or 9 rounds. <strong>The</strong> signed to fight twice and both<br />
times Graziano pulled out. Supposedly Graziano's "friends and backers" did not<br />
want to give LaMotta a big pay day. |<br />
