January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

then maybee sum single hoooks, butt that aint enuff to make them a grate
fiters," and then there are others who really have minds and mix many things in
with fighting.I was always impressed with Liston's, Patterson's and
Ali's ability to do this. Here were three men with absolutely no education at
all (not that that automatically equates with native intelligence), were
probably just about completely illiterate, yet who consistently came up with
some of the most stunning, colorful, and articulate insights imaginable; they
were likely smarter than many people with multiple degrees.|

ok, i wish that one of jerry's family members could come on here and tell us
more about jerry. i've been studying him for 30 + yrs. and still would like to
know more, i know he had a lot wives, that can bring any man down, make a little
money, hang on to it, don't let somepretty women take it away, not me though
much too smart to do that. NEVER TRUST ANYONE, THATS MY GOLDEN RULE!!! koo

steroid allegation (and it is nothing more at this stage) there is a link on
Eastside Boxings website about it. Very interesting. In my opinion it is
widespread in boxing -my opinion only. There was a big thing about Jack
O'Halloran using it in the 60's and 70's which caused him to lose the use of his
legs. Koo Koo you crack me up...you remind me of Anne Robinson on 'The Weakest
Link'.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|JOHN PARINNER: Jerry had a night club act
at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas called "JERRY QUARRY WITH PLEASURE" I Never saw
it,But his singing took him on a lot of excursions,He had a lot of talent in a
lot of things,Super Stars competetion in 1974 still blows me away, how he
finished third,with all those NFLer's.(not the one in 1975!!!)Its too bad no one
can find a tape to that.One thing great about his popularity,is when he sang on
Merv Griffith,he'd just lost to Ali and was considered "RETIRED" from the ring.|

|11/12/03 03:58:29 PM|kookoo|ny||kookooclock000@yahoo.com||||10|by the way i
forgot to mention the movie ALI, you know with that moron Will Smith, when it
showed ali's comeback fight against Jerry it had some out of shape actor playing
jerry in the movie, THAT WAS A PUT DOWN AGAINST JERRY AND HIS FAMILY, THE ONLY
FIGHT JERRY WENT IN OUT OF SHAPE WAS AGAINST NORTON, HIS LAST REAL FIGHT.
HOLLYWOOD PEOLPLE SUCK!!!! KOO KOO|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I can HONESTLY say,I've never seen that
particular movie,they actually had Jerry played by some out of shape buffon??
THAT IS A MAJOR INSULT!! to say the least,MR.JIMMY said himself,THAT was the
bout WHERE JERRY was the most focused and poised, too bad we could not do the
casting, there is a man in Mesquite Nevada that
looked,sounded,body,mannerisms,attitude, THAT COULD HAVE PLAYED JQ 1970 version
BY SIMPLY PLAYING HIMSELF,Another friend who does not even follow boxing,OUT OF
THE BLUE said he looked like QUARRY! The guy was also a college linebacker who
would have been in shape,Just like the real QUARRY!! FOR THE PART.|

portray Quarry or anyone really as clowns, but the movie did have an agenda; any
movie about a particular fighter will slant things to whatever end it's
pursuing. It veered back and forth between Ali fan club idolatry and the well
worn Hollywood modus operandi that uses stark contrast to accentuate a theme. In
a crime movie, nuns might cross the street ahead of villains to boost their
