January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Also,on Quarry-NORTON,they official odds
were 7-5 NORTON,but elsewhere around the country,it was 6-5 "pick em".That
particular bout was signed MARCH 6.1975,So Jerry had all of 18 days to train,it
was originally Norton-Bonavena,then surprisingly was KEN NORTON-JIMMY
YOUNG,(WHO'D JUST DECISIONED LYLE).then they thru $175,000 at JERRY AND THAT WAS
IT.I was really apprehensive for JQ when he signed for Frazier II,Especially on
May 30,1974,When JOE sent two of his sparring partners to the hospital,one was
none other than MR.JIMMY YOUNG AT HIS PHILADELPHIA GYM!|

agree Bobick was a good 70's heavy, following his high amateur profile. Did beat
LeDoux twice as mentioned, also I beleive he beat Mike Weaver very early on for
both. He does get dismissed by many for his skin color and hype, but had a very
respectable career. Not as good as Cooney or quite a few others, but a lot of
guys were intimidated by Norton back in the mid 70's, when Bobick met him. Not
much in today's heavyweight division, true. I like Lewis to outbox Klitschko,
but I feel the smaller Klitschko (the one who can box)has a real chance to be
champ someday. It's good that someone recently again made note of all the very
good contenders JQ beat during his career. Just because a top fighter ( someone
else mentioned the very good Machen ) doesn't get to hold the belt does not mean
their career is a failure. Only one guy can be champ, even in today's bowl of
alphabet soup. Jerry was a huge star and a great draw for boxing in his prime,
and has the verbal respect of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, and even Norton among
others he fought. To me, the fact he never won the big one, as some deride him
for, takes nothing from the guy, and I think similar things could be said about
some other very good non-champs. I do have two questions for you guys though, 1)
Did JQ beat anyone of note when he won the Golden Gloves, that is another
fighter who went on to some success? 2) In comparing JQ to guys who were champ,
how do you feel Jerry would fare prime-prime vs. Micheal Spinks, who was
excellent at about Jerry's weight. Thanks. |

trouble viewing the last clip, with Bobick and Holmes in the amatuers. AOL
wouldn't take it. I already have round three of Norton/Quarry, what a round!
One of the best action packed rounds of heavyweight fighting I have ever seen.
Anyone who hasn't seen this round is in for a treat.|

Sonia, it is cool that you keep your Dad in your hearts. I lost my father 16
years ago, also to cancer, and I tend to not think much about father's day as I
don't have any children of my own. I will try and think of my own dad today. I
know your dad, Mr. Jimmy, is missed on this board. There are still times when
we are discussing something that I wonder to myself, I wonder what Jimmy thinks
about this or that. He was one of the boys here but not to say your girls'
input isn't appreciated but I think you know what I mean. I will add also,
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU DADS OUT THERE.|
