Larry Middleton gave <strong>Jerry</strong> a pretty tough fight over in London. I think <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
just won by a quarter of a point decision. |<br />

Gerard, I have a tape of the Bonavena-Chuvalo fight. And it was a very hard<br />
fight to score. It is not an exciting fight, over the years I've watched it<br />
twice. I could easily understand how someone could vote for Chuvalo, or Oscar,<br />
or even make it a draw. <strong>The</strong>re was a lot of clinching and shoving. Although they<br />
both staggered each other at different times. And Chuvalo went down once and<br />
the referee ruled it a slip, or a push. Actually, I thought Oscar knocked him<br />
down.Either one of them stops Cooney in the late rounds. |<br />
|7/18/03 08:35:16 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|Oscar Bonavena<br />
was a tough guy. Hard puncher and from what I hear a hard partyer too. I know<br />
in his early fights he had Charlie Goldman training him. I always thought he and<br />
JQ would have made a good fight. I believe they signed but Oscar broke his left<br />
hand and had to pull out. No one ever fought Oscar and had an easy time of it.<br />
Not Frazier, Lyle, Ali, or anyone else. I think his lowpoint was loosing to<br />
Ellis and actually getting floored twice. That really surprised me.|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|JOHN GERARD: Yes I know BIG JOHN,When I<br />
rated these 12,it was more or less by there overall stature,and how I think they<br />
would or did line up against each other,not necessarily there bouts with JQ.I've<br />
always said that 1972 MIDDLETON was a little underrated,<strong>Jerry</strong> won more like 6 0r<br />
7 rounds,Writer's at ringside said it shouln't have been that close,like the NEW<br />
YORK TIMES,W.B.A. RANKED Middleton fourth, when Lyle took him out.|<br />
|7/18/03 11:47:26 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|I wonder how<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> would have done against Henry Cooper? Since Cooper had been kayoed by Ingo<br />
and Patterson, I would have to bet on <strong>Jerry</strong>. Cooper did have a good left jab<br />
and hook though. |<br />
|7/18/03 03:34:18 PM|Paul Maduros|midwest||pama42@yahoo.com||||10|To his credit<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> was able to compete w/fightersmuch bigger than himself. <strong>Jerry</strong>'s<br />
training habits are in question. Like his brother James told me, when he was in<br />
top shape, he stood a chance against anybody. I carry a picture of jerry in my<br />
wallet, anytime someone wants to bring up great fighters I tell them about<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong>. I don't see my self carrying around a picture of Gerry Cooney, <strong>Jerry</strong> was<br />
way cooler than him.|<br />

the visitors of this site: To date, as the Chief Counsel/Legislative Director<br />
of the American Association for the Improvement of Boxing and TJQF, I have<br />
written and mailed four letters to many individuals expressing support for the<br />
passage of Senate Bill 275, <strong>The</strong> Professional Boxing Amendments Act of 2003. If<br />
passed and implemented, this bill would establish a federal boxing commission--a<br />
badly needed organization. Boxing needs this ---especially to protect the<br />
fighters. Please email your U.S. Senators to express your support for it.<br />
Thanks|<br />

Francisco||DGCSOCCER@AOL.COM||||10|Concerning carrying boxers photos in wallets:<br />
First:I would never carry a photo of any fighter in my wallet because boxing is<br />
what they do as a living and that does not make them better than the common man<br />
outside of the ropes (although I would have to say that as a lot, boxers are a<br />
lot more spiritual than other athletes). Secondly, John Gerard:Are you for real<br />
or are you kidding me about your analogies of Cooney in the Foreman fight? You
Change language
