January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

matchups.Billy Conn vs Roy Jones ,Harold Johnson vs Roy Jones,Bob Foster vs
Roy,and ,how about Jerry Quarry vs Roy Jones or Jerry vs Bob Foster? Hey , it's
all just conjecture and fun,right? |

thought Bob Foster vs. Jerry would've been a natural match, given Mike's fight
with him.Bob was very good, but there's a reason why boxing has weight classes.
As close as it might be early, Jerry would've thrown some heavyweight cheese at
him and wore Bob down. Conn was a better boxer than Louis, a huge compliment. |

have clobbered Foster. Foster had that long lean body Jerry would have feasted
on. Don't forget what Frazier did to Foster. Jerry was more of a counter
puncher than Joe so the fight would have probably gone more than a round and a
half, but Jerry would have KO'ed him. As for Roy Jones, Jones over Foster over
12 rounds, I think Billy Conn would have a good chance to beat Jones. They
match up size wise and Conn was very strong, though not quite the puncher Jones
is, he still managed to hurt Joe Louis. I'd also have to give Archie Moore the
benefit of the doubt. There wasn't much you could put over on the 'Ol Mongoose.
A couple of other guys I think would give Roy an evenings worth of trouble Joey
Maxim and Jose Torres.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I AGREE JERRY SHOULD HAVE BEATEN FOSTER,
BOB NEVER BEAT A HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER, I SAW THEM BOTH ON THE "SUPER STARS
COMPETETION, THE ONE BEFORE 1975, WHERE JERRY EARNED ENOUGH POINTS TO BE INVITED
BACK,AND BOB ACTED A LITTLE SCARED OF JERRY,OF COURSE QUARRY WAS ALL BUSINESS
THAT FIRST COMPETETION,I'M SURE THERE WERE GUYS THAT COULD HAVE BEATEN JERRY
THAT WE QUARRY FANS, THINK WOULD'NT HAVE, AND GUYS JERRY WOULD HAVE KO'D THAT
WOULDN'T HAVE ADDED UP!FOR BOXING IS A BATTLE OF STYLE'S, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
SURPRISED IF JERRY COULD HAVE BEATEN BOTH ALI AND FRAZIER IN A STREET FIGHT!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL|

Dorsey,aah,so glad you brought the subject up.Ali would not have done any better
than any other 6 ft 3 in. 210 lb ,super fast guy with the courage to fight in
the street.I think Quarry and Frazier would have probably killed someone in a
street fight fairly early in their career and been sentenced to prison .|

petitioningESPN Classic for better programming. The creator of the site
feels that ESPNCL has lost its way, "What once was a great concept has become
mainly a channel for newer sports games and events and they show very few
'classic' games" (you mean fights!). I have to agree. Please visit and devote
your rant toward showing the great fights we never get to see. Visit:

very good street fighter. In fact Jimmy Q said he doesn't remember his brother
ever losing in the street. This is a story that I posted here about two years
ago that was lost in the old archives: Years ago I was working as a securtiy
officer and my partner was a retired Los Angeles County deputy sheriff. He told
me that he once responded to a call to the Quarry family bar in Bellflower (as I
remember the story) and that apparently Jerry had been attacked by a customer
with a pool stick in the parking lot. The man had stolen the pool stick and
Jerry went outside just to ask the man to bring it back into the bar. But
instead of listening to Jerry, the man hit Jerry in the head with the pool stick
and when he tried to swing the stick again, Jerry stepped in and hit the guy
