CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Yu are very well right,Big Buster had<br />
nothing to be ashamed of 35-4 at least 23 knockouts or so,Bonavena was good,But<br />
to me a little overly ranked,case in point,he won outright robberies vs LEOTIS<br />
MARTIN,AL "BLUE" LEWIS,and ZORA FOLLEY,and FOLLEY'S Boxing lesson he dished out<br />
to Oscar,would have been his second win over RINGO,I remember the W.B.A. was<br />
they only one to rank Oscar over JQ, for the number # 1 contender spot in late<br />
1970.after Bonavena's DQ Loss to Paez,and <strong>Jerry</strong> had just KO'D 24-0 MAC FOSTER.|<br />

was a master of boxing ( or boxing's master ?) ! Anyway, Bob Foster, one of the<br />
greatest boxing' s champions of all times, said "he taught me how to box". I<br />
think that Sonny ( or I think Sonny ?) was great when beat him in 1960<br />
(unfortunately I never could watch the fight but Ihave read about it) within<br />
3 rounds. I think Sonny Liston (or I think that Sonny Liston) of the period<br />
1958-1962 was a real champion and would have beaten even a prime Mike Tyson<br />
because he had the same power and areach twice longer...|<br />

careful on the internet, so I will remain anonymous. Even though my question<br />
was not directed to you, thanks for the answer |<br />

just discovered that in the Clay-Sabedong fight the weights were exactly: Clay:<br />
194 1/2 Sabedong:225I give you this information freely ( what a great<br />
person I am !).|<br />
|8/18/03 01:25:31 PM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|I've been reading<br />
the Cooney thing here for the last few weeks and thought I'd through in my two<br />
cents. Gerry was a big strong guy with a deadly left hook. He was also quick<br />
of both hand and feet. He had a good left jab, fast and straight and a good<br />
powerful right hand. Larry Holmes exposed him, the good, bad and ugly, for what<br />
he was. A big strong guy with a deadly left hook. He did hurt Holmes several<br />
times and it was not one a one sided fight. What it came down to was Cooneys<br />
heart, maybe not even his heart but the deamons inside himself. Faced with<br />
adversity he withered away. <strong>The</strong> Spinks fight, the Foreman fight,same thing.<br />
Maybe he was drinking or snorting coke or what ever, that's nothing new in the<br />
fight game. Remember Mickey Walker, the old saying was "He won a hundred<br />
fights, many of them sober". Or what about Aaron Pryor. He was getting high<br />
DURING fights. Bottom line on Cooney is he just didn't have it inside, where it<br />
counts. And to Massimo, I don't think Liston would have beaten a prime Tyson.<br />
Tyson was too quick for Sonny. And did you know both Shaq and your buddy Primo<br />
Carnera wore the same size shoe? Size 22. Oh yeah before I forget, no way <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
beats Foreman. Ever. |<br />
|8/18/03 04:38:49 PM|Massimo|Rome||shaqbetterthanjabbar.com||||10|Bob, thanks<br />
for the answer ! I don't think Carnera ( thanks for the free English<br />
lesson...)wore the same shoe' s size ( or shoes's size, bah ! ) of Shaq. I<br />
don' t know the American sistem for shoes measure but in the Italian sistem Shaq<br />
wears 56 or 59 ( sorry, but I'm not sure ) and Carnera just 52 ( poor Primo<br />
!).<strong>The</strong> Primo' s measures were exaggerated bythe despicable fascism !<br />
<strong>The</strong>y told he was 6'7""1/2 tall or more, but we know he was just a little<br />
over 6'5''. Shaq is 7'1'' ( I don't know if with the Reebok or without ) and<br />
weights about 335... Twice bigger ! I' m twice bigger than Shaq !! Everybody<br />
call me " the Italian giant " but this is another story and we'll talk about<br />
another time ( I hear the question: how tall are you 1000 times a day ! ). I<br />
suspected Primo wasn't the greatest boxer ( pound for pound ) of all times, I<br />
just tried to say that maybe he was a top 10 contender. I don' t think I could<br />
become heavyweight champion of the wordl ! Maybe Primo was better than me !
