thanks for the info it was interesting. Kirkman as never the same after the<br />
first Foreman fight - his confidence vanished after that beating. I think that<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> and Bonavena would have been a very good fight. Another very good<br />
forgotten fighter is Larry Middleton who <strong>Jerry</strong> just barely beat over in England.<br />
Bugner gave Ali and Frazier very hard fights and was much bigger than <strong>Jerry</strong>. Too<br />
close to call in my book. |<br />

of the late <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> being published in the future?|<br />
|10/3/02 09:10:02 PM|Gerry Schultz|Ohio||jgschultz@firstam.com||||10|It is<br />
almost unfair to compare eras when Ali and Louis are paired. I agree, they are<br />
the two best ever. But Louis is a victim in that his movement and physical<br />
attributes as a fighter, while ahead of the class for his day, pale when<br />
compared to athletes who came later. A prime vs. prime does not do justice to<br />
Louis ,who would be even better had he came along later. Still, Ali is nearly<br />
unbeatable anyway. Despite what some have said, I think highly of some of the<br />
heavies mentioned, Jimmy Y, Bugner, Bonavena, and Chuvalo. I think <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
probably would have all their numbers, though. I also agree, as I've said, that<br />
JQ was rushed, and took too many real fights too soon. It had a big impact on<br />
the way his career unfolded. As good as he was in 1973, he'd have probably been<br />
even better with a climb less steep. |<br />

been working on the JQ Biography for months. I still have a dozen interviews to<br />
get, and could used all your help with any special stories and memories. Call<br />
my cell phone 661.703.4444........ this will be a very positive book with no<br />
cheap shots. My goal is to have this book hit hard---just like <strong>Jerry</strong>.|<br />
|10/4/02 04:46:28 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|Gerry - that Louis reached the final<br />
is testament to his abilities regardless of era's. It is no shame to lose to<br />
Ali.|<br />
|10/4/02 11:22:06 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I am picking<br />
Ali by decoision over Louis. Ali had the advantage of movement and handspeed as<br />
well as at his best, he was very hard to hit. Add to this his ability to take a<br />
punch and we have Ali winning by outlanding Louis over the distance. Louis had<br />
trouble with Billy Conn because of his movement and boxing ability and Ali was<br />
bigger and better at it than Conn. So the winner and still THE GREATEST OF ALL<br />
TIME, MUHAMMED ALI!|<br />

journalist you are gonna have to learn how to spell the greatest heavyweight<br />
fighter of all times name !! (joking)|<br />

was o.k, he let the action speak for itself most of the time. I really enjoy<br />
Dick Enberg's call of the <strong>Quarry</strong>-Orbillo fight in Los Angeles I believe. Any of<br />
you Californian's know what network Dick was working for back then? Was he a<br />
west coast NBC guy?|<br />
|10/7/02 10:57:31 PM|Kent Appel|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Joe,<br />
Enberg was with California independent station KTLA, channel 5 during this time.<br />
I don't think he went to NBC until much later. Enberg was the voice of<br />
Southern California major league baseball team, the Angels, for quite some time<br />
and they broadcast on KTLA. |
