Bob. <strong>Jerry</strong> beatLyle and Shavers... Why don' t you give him achance to<br />
beat Foreman ? I think Foreman would have been largely favorite ( maybe 5-<br />
1)but... Give <strong>Quarry</strong> a chance !|<br />
|8/18/03 08:56:48 PM|steve|n.j.||dmmsrm@||||10|Does anyone on this site who is<br />
old enough to remember the 70's heavyweights<br />
{Foreman,Frazier,Ali,<strong>Quarry</strong>,Liston,Patterson,Norton,Lyle,Shavers,to name some of<br />
the best,really think the guys from the 80's are as good?I'm getting real tired<br />
of this Cooney debate!Larry Holmes beat a very well worn Ken Norton.He made Mike<br />
Weaver look like He could soon be hall-of-fame material.He got past Shavers on<br />
sheer,{I don't know what to call it}He lost to Michael Spinks,Twice!He allowed<br />
Gerry Cooney to extend him into the eleventh round.Michael Spinks KO,D<br />
Cooney.Spinks was crushed by Mike Tyson,another heavyweight of some repute.<br />
My point is {and I do have one,}that the <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> who lost to Frazier,even<br />
in their second fight,would have walked through Michael Spinks.<strong>Quarry</strong> would have<br />
given Cooney a systematic beating.Much like the one he gave lyle.Comparing the<br />
opponents Holmes faced to the guys <strong>Quarry</strong> faced just ain't realistic!Mike Weaver<br />
and Pinklin Thomas doen't measure up well against Ali or Frazier.|<br />

Ali,Frazier,Forman,and <strong>Quarry</strong>,and juxtapose {is that a real word} them against<br />
Holmes,Tyson,and Hollyfield,what would be your conclusion about the difference<br />

|8/19/03 05:25:35 AM|EVREN|LONDON||@||||10|A man I very much respect - the<br />
editor of Britains Boxing News wrote recently after watching the Ali-Bonavena<br />
match that both Chris Byrd and Roy Jones would'nt have had as much trouble with<br />
Bonavena as Ali did. <strong>The</strong>y would have been too quick and good for him. Opinions?|<br />
|8/19/03 07:16:17 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|EVEREN: <strong>The</strong> Ali-<br />
Bonavena fight was scheduled for 15 rounds. It was a hard, rough fight. I don't<br />
know how Bryd or RJ would be after going 15 rounds against a bruiser like<br />
Bonavena. Bonavena was what I call awkwardly clever, not great by any means but<br />
a hard guy to count our and who never should be taken lightly. Also the odds of<br />
reluctant Roy getting into the ring with someone like Oscar is slim indeed. |<br />

Ohio||jgschultz11@msn.com||||10|Wow, a lot on Cooney. I agree with Bob B.'s<br />
assessment of him, and will add that Gerry was one of more than a few substanceabusing<br />
underacheivers from the late 70's- early 80's. I don't see you guys<br />
piling on John Tate or Leon Spinks. Gerry was a very good boxer with long levers<br />
and a light chin. Let's leave it there... I too thought Oscar Bonavena got the<br />
benefit of rankings. He was very strong, ackward puncher, but may have received<br />
more credit than he deserved. I don't think Ali pushed very hard versus Oscar,<br />
needing the rounds to scrape the rust off him. Ali did take <strong>Quarry</strong> very<br />
seriously, though, didn't he ? Without the early cut, I think JQ would have made<br />
that a very active bout. Ali/Liston II was a weird match in that the fight ended<br />
with Liston standing and unhurt , trading with Ali after Jersey Joe left them<br />
unsupervised to go to the other side of the ring. While Ali was clearly better,<br />
was Liston beaten at that point? Not yet in my opinion, though it might only<br />
delay Ali for just a while. I too do not rank Larry Holmes as high as many<br />
apparently do, but he was a master boxer and generally a very good guy who had<br />
to be champ after the greatest wave of talent in the history of the division had<br />
left and retired. I'd have liked to have seen Larry about six years earlier and<br />
really seen what he could've done. I think that if Foreman could have stayed on<br />
track, he'd have defended his belt against Larry about 1977-78 and knocked him<br />
cold. I saw Floyd Patterson and Ingo Johanssen II a few nights ago, made me<br />
think of JQ --- IF <strong>Jerry</strong> had come along then, say 1960, would he rank any higher
