President (among other things ) with a very good but not great heavyweight
boxer. Let's keep this inside the ropes, gentleman, ok?. |

knew Jimmy Carter was born here in South Carolina, and fought out of New York.
Jimmy Carter was considered to be the all-time champion of the "lend-lease"
champions of the Carbo, Palermo era. Jimmy Carter won the Lightweight
Championship 3 times, and was managed by mob front man Willie (Friedman)
Ketchum. Ketchum was from the Bronx, and moved to California during the Boxing
Investigations in New York in the late 50's. I stand corrected, I was not aware
that Jimmy Carter accomplished so much after he retired from the ring.|

"Ward"..where do u get of dissing a fighter? any fighter! Your a little man
sitting in front of a computer screen poking fun at people that make u look like
an ant by comparison.I am no fan of Mr cooney infact i didnt even remember him
till reading this but he deserves respect like any other fighter whether they be
a 4 round prelim or heavyweight champ. I know you've never been a pro and
probably never even an amateur because someone retired from this brutal sport
would never talk about another fighter like you do. YOu think JQ would diss a
fighter like u did?Never! Any fighter can be critized. Some idiot like you could
say JQ lost to a built up middleweight, lost to an old Eddie Machen, gave a
fight to Chuvalo, etc and what would it prove, that the writer of such remarks
is an idiot.So Cooney didn't fight a lot of tough guys and found a short way
to a title shot. Good for him, its a murderous game and he played it that way
and if makes small minded people like you jealous thats great too.As far as
your other accusations go, are they a result of your investigaton or something
you "read". If theres any truth to it bring it to the proper authorities not on
a message board where you like to spew your kiddie vomit.OOOH and gee you
got a political comment too! They're so rare! Only thing that shows about you is
that you're an old man. Have a good day you Nobody!|

we are discussing different Jimmy Carters, Forest. Hopefully, you don't know any
fighters named, say, Richard Nixon. My mistake I guess.|

it's against the law to drink and write in some towns, so be careful with your
writingRick, I don't attack broken down 3 round fighters, so you are
safe I have never said a bad word about Jerry Quarry on this site, I
have written repeatly that he was a geuine fighter, a gladiator.My
feelings about Cooney can't be denied, put down the bottle and look at the ring
record bookAs far as reporting Cooney to the authorites, there is no
point in that. What he is doing is not illegal, but it is certainly unethical.

COONEY: I have nothing against Gerry Cooney. He was one of the few fighters who
used the system rather then allow himself to get used. The only problem with
that was sometimes the fans got screwed in the process. How? By paying good
money to see jokes like his fights against Norton and Lyle. But I guess you pay
your money and take your chances. I would rate Cooney a good puncher with his
left hand, a glass jaw, average technical skills, and no desire. He was a
financial success but not a artistic one but that seemed to suit him fine. The
best way to describe him comes from the lead line of an article covering his KO
