January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

performance, as Clay did. If you trasform the fight in a brawl, you're gonna
have your ass kicked (... I'm learning English, as you can see...) !|

how some people see everything i see things as they really are. quarry perfect
no, attention yes, becauise he was white , yes why because there was not a
single white fighter i ever saw that had that kind of skill, i do feel bad about
telling his brother james that he cost him the title by pushing him into a
jukbox before the ellis fight, but it did make a difference in the fight. BIG

Frazier, Quarry, Chuvalo, Bonavena, Duran, Galindez, and many more of the like
were all street brawler-types (some ~literally~) who were taught to box. Of
these, the only one suspect in the testicular department is Tyson. MT was a heck
of a puncher, and had very fast hands, but unlike the others, I wonder about his
endurance, and his "bully quotient," ie, how did he respond when someone else
gave him "the look," cold and hard, told him they were going to eat his heart
out of his chest, and then tried to do it? Guess is, supported by real life, is
that he'd leave a puddle on the floor before any of the real tough asses in his
class, followed by his body. Liston, with his aura, reputation, and wherewithal
to back it up, would have taken "Iron" Mike. Tyson reminds me of what they said
about Duran after his baffling "No mas" fight - "Hands of stone, heart of
shit."Re Duran: anyone ever hear anything about that fight? I heard he
was going to crap his pants due to a digestive problem. It's hard for me to
accept he just quit.|

peak BEFORE he won the championship. He was by no means slow and plodding. He
had two punches that would have given Tyson trouble – the hardest left jab ever
in boxing (combined with a very long reach) and wicked left/right
"hookercuts."His hands were never as fast as Tyson’s – agreed. If Tyson had
a hard time with Bonecrusher Smith in the clinches, God knows what Sonny would
have done to him. Tyson would have froze or refused to fight Liston after seeing
him at the weigh-in. Liston was a wicked puncher but he was not a wild slugger.
He could box well. One of Louis’s sparring partners was one of his early
trainers and he did a good job with Sonny. Ali said that Liston was without a
doubt the scariest man he ever faced and that’s coming from a man who fought
Foreman, Lyle, Shavers, Frazier, etc. If Tyson ever bit Liston;s ear, Liston
would have more than responded in kind and Tyson would be speaking with an even
higher pitch voice than he was born with.|

famous street brawler ! I know he lost to Tyson and Berbick and that he's still
fighting today, at 94 years of age... He won four New York Golden Gloves in a
raw,,,, He had to be pretty strong...Did anyone see his fight against Trevor
Berbick ? Was it a close fight ? Do you think he had good potential ? Thanks !|

I put it wrongly when saying that Tyson has an inability to absorb punishment.
Perhaps he could take some punishment but he never fought back to win (and 'kick
ass' as you would probably say it). Whenever Tyson got hurt, the fight soonafter
ended. Angelo - you mention that modern fighters like Tyson don't fight a lot.
Some of the old fighters didn't either. Between 1971 and 1976 Frazier had 12
fights while Ali had 24 in that same period. And why was it that Frazier fought
Jerry Quarry and Jimmy Ellis twice each, yet he never fought Norton, Lyle,
Shavers, Patterson, Folley and Ernie Terrell. Was he ducking any of those guys ?
Finally, in Joe Frazier's book he says this about Jerry Quarry, "He was a
