January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

times European Champion, beat a lot of good fighters and fought toe to toe with
a that "monster" of a fighter by the name of Joe Frazier. I think he would have
given a good fight to anybody, including Lewis, Liston and Tyson even if, I
think, he would have lost. He probably deserves to being ranked in the top
30 heavyweight ever.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I was just going to mention we left
Briscoe and Leotis Martin and WITHERSPOON OUT as a Philadelphia fighters, I
would say Jerry was always faster than Bugner,especially combinations,He would
get inside Bugner, and really go to town,It would not have surprised me if
Quarry stopped Bugner or Bonavena (boxing is a battle of style's)Mr. Jimmy said
Jerry really owned BUGNER SPARRING IN 1972.although odds on Decision in a real
battle.as I said Jerry could get inside JOE BUGNER, with Bugner doing his tieing
up gig as much as possible, and in for either a long (Ron lyle) or short(Earnie
Shavers)-EVENING,TAKE CARE!|

for the info. on Billy Collins Jr. and Jose Resto. I wish somebody with your
real boxing credentials would answer more questions on this site.Your name seems
to ring a bell with me.With your 20 years in boxing,I would like to hear any war
stories you would care to tell.I didn't even know Mike Quarry was fighting out
of Florida.I think I remember A post by you where you talked about a restuarant
in Florida that you and Mike frequented where he was very popular. Bye the
way,if anyone is trying to reach me at my e-mail address,I'm sorry,but I still
can't get my e-mail account up and running.This is a new computer and since I am
a computer idiot it's quite a problem. |

Bugner beat that was a top ten contender at the time. Would Bugner have beaten
Thad Spencer, Ron Lyle or Mac Foster the nights Jerry beat them. No way they
were big upsets pulled off by one of the most exciting heavyweights ever. The
logic used on Bugner was that he was great because he survived Frazier and Ali.
Is Quick Tillis great because he survived Tyson. I think Jerry would have hurt
him to the body he was too strong for Bugner. Frazier was well past the first
Ali fight and his prime when he fought Bugner. |

you doing? I know you live in Calif. but do you remember the" Friday Night
Fights". Maybe your too young. Don Dunphy was the class act announcer and
commentater of all time.Along with Jimmy Lennon Sr.The only commercial they had
was Gillette Razors,LOOK SHARP!FEEL SHARP!BE SHARP!. Friday night was date night
with my girl friend and she sat through it with me every week.I watched it from
the early 60's to the mid 60's when I entered the milatery.I didn't see any of
Jerry's fights when they occured between 1966 and 1969. I do think I saw him
knock out some really tall guy when he was just starting to get attention. Hey
Larry,whatever happened to that other crazy stooge,aka Kent? He doesn't seem to
post here much anymore.|

YA LUNKHEAD! I, Curly "Q" of our stooges club am often here at the site even
when I don't post.Massimo, yes Bugner had talent but he just didn't
always use his talent to the best of his ability. His safety first attitude may
have even stopped him from scoring an upset win over Ron Lyle. He fought well
but lost a close decision. Of course, his safety first attitude may have kept
him from being knocked out by Lyle too.|

1 ? I have read that Ali' said that Bugner had given him a tough fight !Was
it a close decision or an one sided fight as in Kuala Lampur ? Kent, the Lakers
won and without Kobe... |
