A Heavyweight Game.

[Crease]

The nimble, whirling Doug Jones who boxed Clay would perplex and upset Holmes the same way Spinks did.

Doug Jones was the first candidate that came to my mind too. I can dig it.

Jerry Quarry steps into the ring with a calm, almost bored demeanor. He had been in there with sone of the hardest punchers in history. The big, pudgy but muscular Nigerian nightmare attempted to scowl at him from across the ring, but Quarry maintained his cool exterior and just stared off I to space going over the game plan as his corner men removed his familiar green robe.

As soon as the bell rings, Peter lunges forward and throws a haymaker to get Quarrys attention but he was ready for it. Quarry begins moving to the left and feeling out his opponent. Peter continues chasing him down, using his jab as a measuring stick. Just when he thinks he has Quarry Cornered he gets stunned be a sharp left hook counter as he takes too long to pull his right arm back.

The round goes to Quarry and not much changes after that. It resembles the Lyle bout as a frustrated and befuddled Peter has never dealt with an opponent who will stand right in front of him and make him miss despite being a small target. He eats up counters, right crosses, and flurries while trying to land some of his own bombs. Around the 7th his corner tells him to attack the body to slow him down, and that leads to a war in ring center.

They exchange furious blows and now in the 10th Quarry has some swelling around his left eye and a small cut on his temple from a round house right hand. He nervously looks a the time, knowing he has to be careful to not let the damage become worse and suffer a stoppage. He gets back on his bicycle but can't move half as fast due to the body shots and losing so much energy in the trenches. Peter is finally able to time him and drop him in the 11th when a nervous Quarry becomes overly cautious trying to back off and avoid making his cut worse. A furious Quarry slams his hand on the matt, gets up at the count of six, ignores his corner, and charges back into the fight. He gets caught with a double jab, left hook, right cross combination and blood spurts on the matt. The left side of his face looks like a rag used to clean up pizza sauce. The two warriors exchange punches and return to their corners. The ref motions for the doctor to look at quarrys cut, but fortunately his corner managed to at least redirect the blood flow to keep it out his eyes with a razor.

Quarry goes out for the 12th ready to put it all on the line. He can't lose another round and absolutely can't receive anymore damage to his cut. Peter is hurting too and all those bombs he ate to force his way inside have left his face bruised and looking like it was hit by a weedwacker.

Quarry starts things off with a flurry and then puts on a boxing clinic; once again demonstrating the gap in skil. He cruises to a split decision win and roars in triumph.


Next champ: Joe Frazier.

Good one! Reminds me of Peter vs. Toney 1

My Champion: Jack Dempsey.

Joey Maxim defeats Jack Dempsey! (against all odds)

Here was a man who was only stopped once in his entire illustrious career.
Here was a man who suffered the explosive fists of Archie Moore THREE times over 15 rounders and always brought him the distance.
Here was a man with astounding powers of recovery - an opponent who would suffer repeated knockdowns, yet have the single-mindedness to continue.
Here was a man who had gotten hurt in the ring, yet always had the conviction to fight on.

HOW THE FIGHT WOULD PLAY OUT

Dempsey enters as the heavy favourite, but in an amazing turn of events - Maxim employs the perfect gameplan, he uses his speed (as a natural Light Heavyweight) to punch and move, punch and move - frustratingly the hell out of the reigning Champion.

Maxim's appreciate of space and distance is key here - as he steals the early sounds at a canter. He is caught a few times and looked genuinely hurt, but he's able to navigate a path out of the corner and get out of there.

Going into the 8th round, most at ringside have him all 7 rounds up. Dempsey - fearing that his title might be slipping away turns up the heat, but Maxim's elusiveness proves effective yet again and the 8th round could have been anybodys.

Dempsey is starting to find some joy and anticipates Maxim's movements and he starts connecting with blows. The Champ wins the 9th and the 10th.

In round 11 Maxim changes it up and unexpectedly comes forward, landing speedy & classy combinations, catching Dempsey off-guard. Joey takes the round.

Round 12 - Dempsey won't be fooled again, he forces the challenger back and takes yhe round.

In round 13 - Maxim fighting for all that he is worth, and knowing that only the fight of his life is enough to pry the title away from the champ, showd an extraordinary amount of conviction and sticks to his gameplan and delivers a boring masterclass, taking the found and showing that he refuses to accept being bullied.

But that only adds fuel to the fire and in rounds 14 & 15, Dempsey eventually catches his man and floors him 3 times over the two rounds in a brutal cidplay of savagery. Maxim is slowing down and he just can't keep the pace with the fitter man.

But hold on he does. Badly hurt he may be, but he just about survives the ordeal and meets the final bell of the 15th round with a glad heart and a small smile of relief on his tired & bruised face.

Judges verdict: Maxim wins by Split Decision.

And Ring magazine fight of the thread goes to...

Feels like I watched this one from ringside seats

Next champ: Joe Frazier.

Really tough one, picking a contender to beat Frazier. I don't think a mover would beat him, neither would a short slugger, altough if Tua caught him, he could go.. It would need to be someone with a very good chin and a massive punch. Can't think of anyone that fits that criteria, so I'll throw some names out there and see what other people think.

Željko Mavrović
Earnie Shavers
Roy Williams
Hell, I'll throw Tua in there.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Tua couldn't beat Frazier with Thor in a handicap match. Not in 1,000 fights could David win one.

[keithmoonhangover]

Tua couldn't beat Frazier with Thor in a handicap match. Not in 1,000 fights could David win one.

Funny that, because Tua has a granite chin and Frazier doesn't. Of course Frazier outworks him, but if an in shape Tua hurts Frazier, then he has a hell of a chance of finishing him. I'm not talking about the soft and plodding Tua, I'm talking about a young hungry and healthy one. Not is 1,000 fights is bollocks, pure and simple.

Convention Hall, Phili.

After spending an entire career fighting each other Tua comes to the ring with a remarkable career record of 0-2-72. The two draws coming in his last 4 fights as a direct result of Joe Frazier having become so utterly unmotivated, he has refused to train again until Tua beats him.

Frazier in one corner looking flabby and disinterested, Tua in the other bouncing around like man on a mission, which is not entirely evident from his heavily disfigured face.

There are almost 50 Tua fans in the hall, who had long given up following their man but have been bouyed by the two recent draws and are all over social media telling anyone that'll listen that fight no75 is going to be the one.

As ever, the commentary team talk of the proverbial punchers chance.

The opening bell rings and the men meet centre stage, Frazier moves under a swinger and crunches a body shot in, comes up with an upper cut and works a quick one two straight into Tuas eye as he backs away lazily gesturing Tua forward. Tua obliges and walks into a couple of jabs as he backs Frazier toward the corner. Joe drops his hands and rolls side to side avoiding Tuas blows occasionally catching Tua with short hooks from close range, just to let him know he's still there, he's still dictating the pace and he can hit him and hirt him when ever he wants, when suddenly BOOM, Tua unleashes a massive over hand right. How did Joe not see that coming.
Sitting flat on the seat of his pants Joe smiles up at the ref "I'm alright, this chump can't hurt me" but his eyes tell a different story.
He waits for the 8 count and goes the spring to his feet but his legs betray him, he stumbles, his arm misses the second rope and he almost tumbles stright out of the ring.
After helping him back in, the ref looks in his eyes as Joe wobbles, pawing for a rope that isn't there, he can't let him continue.
Joe protests half heartedly while Tue bounds around the ring like a lottery winner.

My champion .......you thought Louis and Frazier were hard to beat?

Who can topple
Ernie Terrell

[Cygnus475]

That was frigging hilarious davie. more plz,

And someone name a champ.

[davie]

Ernie Terrell

[cfang]

Ernie Terrell

You know I actually think Henry Cooper could have beaten Terrell. Cooper was only really in trouble against huge or fast punchers and Terrell wasnt really either.

My champ is Primo Carnera

My champ is Primo Carnera

I'm going to pick Carl 'The Truth' Williams. Williams had everything, except a great chin, but I don't think Primo hits it. Williams is vulnerable in the first round, but he gets past that. His movement and solid jab dominate the fight. On two or three occasions, Williams gets over confident, throws a four or five punch combination, gets tagged and gets hurt, but hangs on. When the scores are announced, Williams raises his hands high and smiles...... and the NEW!!!!!

My champion is...... an in shape, focused, motivated and ready to go, Terrible Tim Witherspoon.

Frazier had a great chin, I'd have to see tua against Foreman to know his was better. Tua is an overrated puncher, sure he could drop Joe for a 1 count. Ko him, not in the wildest of dreams. Not to mention his hook was his power punch and Joe's was miles better. Ike fits your criteria better.

Don't think Saad is actually playing the game....just jabberin' I guess.


Besides Pinklon Thomas? I think James Quick Tillis could manage this IF he was at his prime, focused, and he was not burdened with his food allergies which served to sap his strength.
It would be close, so a possible split decision. The one round destruction was a fluke.


Jack Sharkey is the champion.........and I'm making a disclaimer....whatever scenario you pick, you can't PAY him to lay down. I want that ruled out as an option.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

I just hate tuas reputation far outweighing his substance. Sam McVey batters Sharkey. Marvin hart is one that shouldn't take long.

Tua hit hard and had the power to turn a fight around with one punch. I don't know why that's so difficult for you to swallow.

I was in the operating theater this week, so yes, I've had some pills and I'm relaxed.

What's your problem with Tua?

He's just not near the fighter people make him out to be in mythical fights. The most impressive thing about his overrated power was he carried it late in fights. He could punch and had a good chin.

Which is why he would always have a punchers chance. He also had an excellent set of whiskers.
