January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

subtly keeping his opponent away from his bum eye, along with his nifty,
manipulative footwork, and swarmimg, pace-dictating style. I imagine Joe and Ali
were in good shape for Jerry, but in their minds didn't take him as seriously as
they did each other.My guess is that in any era, no one played top
contenders lightly, but didn't really go all out in training or mindset for
anyone but the very top killers, if they existed.|

!Outta is a bad beast, I don't think I'm gonna ( what a class... Gonna
!) use it ! " Out of there " is a lot easier than " outta there"...I
think Jerry Quarry would have an easy time against the modern heavyweights...
The youngest is 65 years old, Tyson is becomen a bum that even my grandmother
would beat. This is true with the exception of Vitali... I think Vitali
Klitschko would beat JQ, don't hate me for this opinion !|

fascination with Joe Bugner? He was a big dull man who fought Ali, Frazeir,and
Lyle to collect huge paychecks and not get hurt.Hey R.S.,if you want to see a
scary set of eyes,try looking at Quarry's face during the referees instructions
in any of his fights! I really do appreciate a female's perspective on this
site. I never realized Bugner had such a deep,articulate,dreamy he-man voice.Hey
R.S.,I'm just teasing you!!|

to marvis frazier(no disrespect champ) jerry would have chewed him up and would
have bugner for dessert!|
|11/3/03 10:55:56 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Charles, that
is a testament to Bugner's logevity that he lost to two generations of Fraziers,
Joe and Marvis. Marvis was not a bad fighter. He did get flattened in
the first round against both Mike Tyson and Larry Holmes but he also had a win
over James "Bonecrusher" Smith. He fought well against Smith by sticking and
moving and not brawling with Smith. If he had done that, he would have been
picking himself up from the canvas a knockout loser. For some strange reason,
Joe had Marvis trying to fight like Joe agaisnt Tyson with disasterous results.|

Bugner was pretty dull, agreed, but he had the physical talent not to be
- an underachiever! :-)People who don't do as well as they should always
interest me, what with so many struggling for the same things, who ~don't~ have
what it takes.Marvis made a million dollars in the game, the bulk of it
from fighting Holmes and Tyson, who Joe had to know Marvis couldn't handle. Joe
himself would have had a tough fight with either of them, and Marvis was not
even in the same universe in terms of the things Joe had.I think the
craziest, scariest eyes I've seen in fighters were Sonny Liston and Roberto
Duran. Of course, if eyes and BS tough guy stares gives a fighter the willies,
they have no business being there. Victor Galindez was pretty mean looking too.
Bob Foster was just cold looking, Ali and Frazier would be disconcerting too I
imagine, with their automatic expectation to win, walking through you, their
opponent like you were nothing. |

apparently dynamic,exciting Joe Bugner who's dynamic career has dominated this
site for about two weeks. In the proper perspective.Putting Joe in the proper
context,compare him with George Chavalo,Eddie Machen,Jerry Quarry,Cleveland
Williams.You know, the other underachievers who never won a title.At least they
came to make a real fight of it.|

although I agree with what you are saying, maybe the case was that Bugner
