|8/13/03 04:36:52 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Anonymous, I<br />
am not sure why you wouldn't want to be known just because you asked a simple<br />
question, but Max, of course, is talking about Mike <strong>Quarry</strong>. I do have<br />
some information about Mike, I am not saying it is good or bad, but I will leave<br />
it to the <strong>Quarry</strong> family to comment.ALSO, ARE WE DONE WITH THE COONEY<br />
DEBATE YET? I THINK IT IS GETTING A BIT OLD.|<br />

Cooney, at his best, was a great fighter !He fought toe to toe with the<br />
champion of the wordl and he destroyed Lyle and Norton withina round !!<br />
He did' nt lose against my aunt, but against Holmes, Spinks and Foreman, three<br />
Hall of Famers ! Everybody say that, after thelayoff, Ali' wasn' t the same<br />
fighter, but it seems to me that maybe he had his best victories after his come<br />
back ( Foreman, Frazier III). Which is Ali' s best night in your opinion ? Ali'-<br />
Foreman, Ali'-Frazier 3 or Ali'-Clevaland Williams ( a masterpiece but against a<br />
fighter a little over the hill). Which was the best Ali' ? I doubt that the<br />
Ali' who beatDoug Jones could beat a monster like Foreman... Another<br />
question: was the Ali'-Bonavena fight beautiful ? How much beautiful ? Is the<br />
beauty of that fight comparable with the Ali'-Frazier I-II-III sublimebeauty<br />
? I know for sure that Shaq is great !!|<br />
|8/13/03 05:41:27 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Please lets leave the word great for<br />
fighters like Ali, Frazier, Marciano etc, not Cooney who was a good unfulfilled<br />
fighter. On another note I have just finished watching Foreman vs Dino<br />
Dennis - a great fight. <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> is the second commentator on that fight<br />
alongside, I believe, Tom Brookshire. In the commentary he mentioned that he had<br />
sparred with Foreman and that George was the strongest human he had ever met. He<br />
also mentioned that George was the most Awesome specimen he had ever seen in the<br />
ring. Also I just watched the fight George had against LeDoux and it is<br />
interesting to hear <strong>Jerry</strong> commentating again. He states that they way to fight<br />
Foreman was to go at him, et within his reach but not to go at him in a straight<br />
line - but come forward side to side.I am not trying to open up the<br />
Foreman-<strong>Quarry</strong> can of worms again!|<br />
|8/13/03 06:18:46 PM|Massimo|Rome||il solito||||10|You' re right, Evren ! Gerry<br />
Cooney was just good, not great ! But George Foreman was a great champion !<br />
Beating Ali', he would have been the greatest heavyweight of all times,<br />
buthe lost that fight... Have a nice time, I go to sleep because it' s very<br />
late !|<br />

ordering boxing videos ? If I try now I read: THIS PAGE IS TEMPORARILY... And<br />

choose ? Thank you very much !|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Kent: I sent off for 8 more <strong>Quarry</strong> bouts<br />
from Newspapers,Seattle,Albuquerque,Canton Ohio,Denver,St.Paul,Kansas City,And<br />
now I know who was the biggest pro JQ fought,non-other than you guessed<br />
it,Charley Reno! All 251 pounds of him, and had 50 pounds on the 201 1/4lb<br />
<strong>Quarry</strong>.I've figured for a long time Ring Magazine had made a mistake on the<br />
weights <strong>Quarry</strong> 212 to RENO'S 221,just did not seem right to me,Especially since<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> never came into the ring at even 210 pounds, 209 3/4 vs "Scrap Iron" In<br />
Hawii,Was <strong>Jerry</strong>'s heaviest. take care!|<br />

guy ! He fought his first pro fight in 1965 at 300 lb against Bob Maynard and
