I don't think Cooney was as great as Quarry. The skill and experience was on another level.

I agree. He was underselling Lewis here.

Kenny Norton said in his book that the Jerry Quarry fight was his very best performance in his boxing career.

@@JimmyPlato1and Jerry’s worst as he was leading the party lifestyle and was crazy enough to walk in out of shape for the fight. Have said that Jerry’s reflexes were shot, he had no chance against Norton today Jerry would be in a different division called cruiser weight. Just too small for a heavyweight 😐

I totally agree with you. You cannot come into a big match with a perfectly in shape Ken Norton out of shape and semi unprepared like Jerry did. It is amazing how well Quarry did in the Norton fight considering this fact....

No. His car accident in 1986 that nearly killed him did this.

Maybe he didn’t remember 😂

There's an impromptu interview in three parts (about 30 min. total) that Luke Ford uploaded to his YT channel. He interviewed David Carradine in the foyer of a movie theater, waiting for a movie to start. He got Carradine's full attention and also some revealing answers. The trick? Ford made good questions. Another long (like 2 hours!) and interesting interview can be found at Hikari Takano's website. Carradine was an individualist, but when people made him smart questions, he gave good and often smart answers.

We all do it. When I was in school we used to handle it like men coming from people who peaked in high school and if you go further in life just like them we all will say we worked for it earned it blah blah. People 30000 yrs ago probably we're annoyed with the younger kid's thinking less of the way they hunted. It's also visa versa kids are generation will fix things were smarter more advanced. Everybody bitches young and old.

Oliver and Hashim ko'd Lewis, and Norton could have done it as well...

@@alcottdevalte7440, you moron!!! Both of Lennox loses he rematched and won. Ken Norton was slow as shit!!! He had a draw with Scott LeDoux!!! That’s a joke. Anytime he went up against a puncher he lost. Dummy educate yourself!!!!!

@@longislandairgunner1600 Just saying that Lewis never recovered after he got dropped, and wasn't invincible... His best wins were later on when most of his opponents where not what they once were... And Lewis never beat Oliver who had some problems and shouldn't even have fought the first place... The second fight was weird. The way Oliver ko'd him can't even be compared to how Lewis won the rematch by not even much of a fight... I thought Ray Mercer beat Lewis though. Emanuel Stewart trained Lewis at his best while Eddie Futch, also trainer of Emanuel Stewart, trained Norton at his best. It would have been an awesome fight. Just my opinion that I think Norton would have won...

@@alcottdevalte7440 , you just don’t understand. The late great Emanuel Steward who I met on a few occasions, knew if Lewis came in bigger it would break Olivor mentally. Emanuel knew Oliver was weak mentally because he trained him. Remember, Lewis was winning the first fight when he got caught with a lucky punch and beat the count. Norton was a slow moving robotic fighter who lost a lot of steam in the later rounds. And small in stature compared to Lennox. Norton couldn’t handle Foreman who was 225 at that time. Lewis beat all the top fighters at his time. If you know anything, Tyson, Holyfield and Bowe all avoided Lennox. None of them wanted to fight him. Holyfield fought him because he HAD too. Bowe chickened out. And Tyson fought him because he needed the money. As far as Ray Mercer fight, I was there at Madison Square Garden for that fight. It was close, but Lennox won. He needed the last round and got it. Ali said that Lennox was the greatest fighter he ever saw. That’s the only time I ever agreed with Ali.

Wasn't the punches it was from a bad car accident....
