it's remarkable, I've said it before when I see your comments, fell like I am<br />
looking in a mirror. I agree with your post about LaMotta a 100%. A lot of<br />
people don't realize he was not a hard puncher, and did not knock out many<br />
people. <strong>The</strong> same is true for Fritzie Zivic, and Jack Sharkey|<br />
|3/17/03 11:53:46 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|FOREST: I agree,<br />
LaMotta was not a particularly hard puncher, but he was an awkwardly clever<br />
swarmer who hit both the head and body. Aside from a great chin, he had<br />
excellent stamina in spite of the fact he often had to lose 30 pounds to make<br />
the middleweight limit. LaMotta and Zale would have been a good fight also. Both<br />
men were iron men, but I think Zale had a better punch. And when Jake won one,<br />
he won it on the level. Nobody ever fought him "with handcuffs on". I believe he<br />
was the number one ranked middleweight for six years without a title shot.|<br />

the other day. He was really podgy looking. I think he fought as an amateur at<br />
Light-Heavyweight.|<br />

thats a hard one to pick Zale-LaMotta. Another hard one to pick would be Dick<br />
Tiger and LaMotta, or Tiger-Zale. LaMotta was very cute with the head,<br />
shoulders, crouching (a lot like Marciano, except no great punch), but still<br />
anyone who goes straight in on Dick Tiger. Wow! <strong>The</strong>n again it could be a<br />
boring fight a lot of clinches. Who knows? Styles make a fight.John, about<br />
2 years ago I studied some films of Oscar Bonavena, and I was surprised. Oscar<br />
was not the crude slugger I mistakenly remembered from years gone past. He<br />
actually jabbed, and hooked off the jab, albeit he was clumsy, but he knew the<br />
fundamentals of boxing. He had good stamina, and a lot of balls, and he didn't<br />
cut. He lost to Ellis pretty easily. But most other guys had a hard time with<br />
him, including, Ali, Lyle, Frazier twice. I think <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> would have his<br />
hands full with Bonavena. <strong>Jerry</strong> would not knock him out,and Oscar had a style<br />
that discouraged a lot of opponents. Like I was saying styles make a fight, and<br />
Bonavena was all wrong for <strong>Jerry</strong>. Once again because of their styles it may<br />
have been a boring fight. Oscar was much better than Chuvalo. I still believe<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> Q lost to Chuvalo because Zack Clayton gave him a fast count (he did the<br />
same to Foreman against Ali, although it made no difference, the result was<br />
inevitable). <strong>Jerry</strong> was getting discouraged against Chuvalo, and there was still<br />
3 rounds left in the fight. <strong>Jerry</strong> may have stopped him in the next round on cuts<br />
but, that's only conjecture. God bless Chuvalo, he always came to fight, and<br />
gave 100%. One more note about Bonavena and Chuvalo. I have the film of their<br />
fight, Bonavena knocked Chuvalo down but the ref called it a slip. |
