virus!I have have reformatted my windows 98 and installed a new virus<br />
scanner,again,my apologies.On a lighter note,Gil Clancy rated the <strong>Quarry</strong> vs Lyle<br />
fight as the fourth greatest fight he ever worked.Remember,Clancy worked in<br />
Frazier's corner for the first Ali vs Frazier fight! That's saying something<br />
about <strong>Quarry</strong> vs Lyle.I watched that fight on tv and was ecstatic at the end.I<br />
can't remember enjoying any fight that much,except the DeLaHoya unmasking of a<br />
deluded Vargas. <strong>Quarry</strong> vs Lyle was the best<br />
overall fight of <strong>Jerry</strong>'s career.He was perfect against a guy who was as big,<br />
strong,tough and hard hitting as Forman.I'ts the only time I've seen <strong>Jerry</strong> adapt<br />
perfectly for the occasion.He combined his punching power with his excellent inand-out<br />
boxing skills and his true gift,counterpunching. |<br />

been having some trouble with my computer lately. I haven't had any kind of<br />
virus alert come up. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem? Also,<br />
would I be sending it to other people I have E-mailed? I have never set up my<br />
address book and I send each E-mail seperate. I am hoping this means that I<br />
haven't sent the virus to anyone else. |<br />

black fighters Louis ducked: in 1942 alone, Jimmy Bivins defeated Bob Pastor,<br />
Lee Savold, Tami Mauriello, GusLevenvich, and Joey Maxim. Thats not<br />
enoughto rate a tile shot? I rest my case.|<br />
|9/17/02 08:30:14 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|That is one fighter - Louis beat him<br />
in '51 when both were old anyway. You can argue that most fighters in any era<br />
'ducked' certain challengers. |<br />
|9/17/02 09:54:48 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|EVREN: Who did<br />
Frazier or Holmes duck?ditto Ali.|<br />
|9/17/02 11:14:44 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|I don't think Ali or Frazier ducked<br />
anyone. Holmes you could argue Pinklon Thomas, Tim Witherspoon (rematch). I<br />
agree that Louis had poor opponents as did Larry. Ali and Frazier met them all<br />
between them.|<br />
|9/17/02 12:52:18 PM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|Joe did duck Jimmy<br />
Bivins, Archie Moore maybe, Charley Burley was too small to fight Louis. Ezzard<br />
Charles was avoided for a couple of years. But Joe was old and soft by then.<br />
All of these guys were too young for Louis to fight during his prime years 1937-<br />
1941. Not a lot of great black heavies of that era, at least no one Louis<br />
couldn't handle. Besides, there was no money in two black guys fighting for the<br />
heavyweight title. No one would back a fight like that in 1940. White people<br />
liked Joe Louis, if Joe lost to another black fighter and didn't regain the<br />
title he would have never been forgiven and blacks would not have been given the<br />
chance at the title. Lose to a white guy and Joe is still a hero and we have<br />
our Great White Hope. As for Ali, Holmes and Frazier. Frazier has the worst<br />
record here. After "<strong>The</strong> Fight", Frazier fought Terry Daniels and Ron Stander,<br />
Stander KO'ed Shavers to get the title shot. I don't know where Daniels came<br />
from or where he went after he got out of the hospital. Those two were not<br />
world beaters. Ali, on the other hand fought 9 times including Mac Foster,Blue<br />
Lewis,Euro Champ Jurgen Blin, Bob Foster. Maybe Frazier was taking it easy for<br />
a couple of fights while Ali went right to work. Holmes fought every one out<br />
there at the time. He didn't duck anyone. <strong>The</strong>y may not have been the greatest<br />
bunch of fighters, but no worse than some and far better most. I still don't<br />
think he lost to Spinks. I think it was a bad decision.|<br />
|9/17/02 12:55:33 PM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|I agree that<br />
Holmes got robbed against Spinks -- and the rematch decision was even worse. As<br />
for Louis, as an up and coming young fighter, I don't think he bused a gut<br />
trying to get a fight with Leroy Haynes who twice knocked out Carnera.|<br />
|9/17/02 02:02:48 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Larry Holmes<br />
fought almost every major contender of his era with the exception of Thomas, who<br />
has been mentioned, Greg Page, and Gerrie Coetzee. <strong>The</strong> bout with Coetzee was
