never made it big professionally. |<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|BOBICK BASHING,is kinda common on the<br />
site,I personally did not mind Bobick,he had too many international amateur<br />
bouts, had like a 61 or 62-bout win streak.Great over blown pro record,that<br />
would be nice to have,never beat a top tener,unless you count Wepner and his # 9<br />
W.B.A.I said on this post he'd have won a ten rounder in the states vs<br />
Bugner.For anything else Bug's lack of agression and punch.Bunny Johnson might<br />
have beat Bugner(WE'LL NEVER KNOW).Bobick had big words at times,im sure to help<br />
the gate,and he said in a mag tha JQ was stale in 1975,and doubted <strong>Jerry</strong> could<br />
come up with anything new.He would not have needed anyhting new for you Duane!!|<br />

good fighter who had some flaws which were exposed at the upper levels of the<br />
sport. He had poor defense and he could not take a punch well. He in no way<br />
deserves the ridicule that is sometimes sent his way. He worked his way up to a<br />
deserved top 20 world ranking by beating many of the same trial horse opponents<br />
that are on most of the contenders and champions resumes coming up. How many<br />
people on most boxing boards can say they were good enough to even be rated that<br />
high? We all know the answer, none! and unless Mike <strong>Quarry</strong> happens to write in<br />
and I happen to know Mike is not on line, the answer will stay none. I will say<br />
this though, people on this board have been better in their treatment of Bobick<br />
than some of the others I visit. Ironic in that Ken Norton himself was<br />
on the receiving end of several early round knockouts, including, a first round<br />
knockout loss to Gerry Cooney, a first round knockout loss to Earnie Shavers,<br />
and a second round knockout loss to George Foreman. Shavers himself was a first<br />
round knockout victim to our own <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong>. But when people think of first<br />
round knockout losses, Bobick's loss to Norton is what comes to their minds.<br />
This is unfair to Bobick.|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|KENT:(<strong>The</strong> Curly Q. Link Of our feerless<br />
leaders club).Duane Bobick did get a # 1 contender ranking from both,W.B.A. AND<br />
THE W.B.C.when he was 38-0,Ring Magazine had him at a more legitimate # 4. and<br />
World Boxing # 3.If I were Bobick,I wouldn't be ashamed of a thing!!He did own a<br />
very good fighter in Scott LeDoux!Which I consider his best wins,Young Sanford<br />
was not exactly a pushover,and Chuck Wepner thou no great fighter,would give<br />
anyone a good fight,and caught Bobick with a very harsh uppercut coming in,John<br />
Tate was a little underrated,He would stand-out on mr.Tyson's record!But Kent<br />
would Bobick know <strong>Quarry</strong> ko'd corletti at the Fabulous Forum?!|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|One more final thought on Duane,between<br />
his amateur loss to TEOFILO STEVENSON,AND NORTON,Bobick was 100-1,counting his<br />
62-bout win streak,as the nations top amateur,and 38-0 pro record,there's not a<br />
whole lot of room for humility,when you have a record like that,yet Bobick,who<br />
was a gentleman 9o %of the time,did have!(who in the world can say they won 100<br />
of 101-bouts,DUANE BOBICK).THAT amateur record of his,had few slouches at the<br />
end,before that he was ko'd by his later stablemate RON LYLE,iF i COULD WIN 100<br />
OF 101 BOUTS AT THAT LEVEL,I'D FEEL LIKE THE SECOND COMING!!|<br />
|6/10/03 11:49:04 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|Bobick wasn't<br />
that bad a fighter but when you're built up like he was and then go out in the<br />
first round against Norton, you've got a long way to fall. In no way did he ever<br />
deserve to be rated in the top five or six. Based on what? He had the bad luck<br />
that two of his one round kos were shown live on home tv and seen by millions.<br />
White heavyweights today are still suffering from the Bobick Stigma.|<br />
|6/10/03 03:33:44 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Jimmy D, I<br />
know Bobick was rated higher than the top twenty but I was making a point that<br />
while he didn't deserve a top five ranking, he did earn at least a top twenty
