others' careers and boxing in general in our conversations on the<br />
telephone.As some of you know, I write for some other websites and Jimmy<br />
always was very supportive of what I was doing and he encouraged me to sometimes<br />
post to plug what I was up to. He also went to bat for me on occasion when some<br />
of my "friends" were less than friendly on this and my other favorite message<br />
board, the old Joe Frazier's gym site.He also went to bat for <strong>Jerry</strong> when<br />
some people would post not so kind posts about <strong>Jerry</strong>, but he did so with the<br />
attitude of letting people have their say so. My favorite comment of his was,<br />
"if someone buys a computer it is the same as a fan buying a ticket to a fight.<br />
If they want to boo, then let them boo." He would not let them push him around<br />
too much and he would sometimes lash back but he did so with an air of dignity.<br />
YES, HE IS MISSED! |<br />

CHUVALO. George Chuvalo went 30 rounds against Ali, was the only man to ever<br />
put <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> down and out, and as far as I can recall, was the only man who<br />
took George Foreman's biggest bombs and stayed on his feet. Does anyone honestly<br />
think Gerry Cooney could have done ONE of those achievements? George Chuvalo<br />
lasted four rounds against a 24 year old Foreman and finished on his feet,<br />
Cooney was kayoed cleanly in two rounds and hit the deck twice against a fat,<br />
balding, forty two year old Foreman. God only knows what would have happened to<br />
him had he faced the Foreman that Chuvalo did. Chuvalo would have played the<br />
national anthem on Gerry's rib cage.|<br />

don't know what some of the people on this websites relationship to George<br />
Chuvalo is but both <strong>Quarry</strong> and Cooney would have defeated him 9 out of 10 times.<br />
If my memory serves me correctly, the referee of the <strong>Quarry</strong>/Chuvalo fight was<br />
about to stop the bout in favor of <strong>Quarry</strong> before <strong>Quarry</strong> was knocked down, arose<br />
and went back to his knees in an odd ko and mistake on <strong>Quarry</strong>s part on the<br />
count. Cooney would have chopped up Chuvalo and you would have said "so, Chuvalo<br />
was too old" etc.... I'm not trying to convince anybody anything, just stating<br />
opinions. Taking the generic assumption of Cooneys ability is apparently yours<br />
and is not based on anything other than lack of boxing knowledge/ignorance. By<br />
the way, Young should have been given the decesion over Ali, 4 yrs. prior to his<br />
match with Cooney and yes Young was a brilliant boxer. Who did Chuvalo defeat in<br />
the top ten of any substance besides <strong>Quarry</strong> on a fluke ko?|<br />
|7/7/03 02:13:55 PM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|TO DAN: I have no<br />
"relationship" with George Chuvalo except utmost respect for a very good figher.<br />
Cooney's performance against Spinks left something to be desired as did his near<br />
decapitation by 42 year old George Foreman. Yes, I think he was a very nice guy<br />
-- and still is, but that does not negate the fact that he had a glass jaw.<br />
Someone far more eloquent than myself wrote on either this board or another one<br />
"Cooney only had size, a left hook, and good accountant and when they failed him<br />
he was lost". I agree, Young was robbed against Ali and he should have gotten a<br />
rematch. Also just because some posters don't agree with you please don't<br />
question their knowledge of boxing or imply ignorance-- believe it or not some<br />
people can disagree with you and still be in the know. One of the things I
