January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

old, "Quarry could have been champion in another era," and run with it. Let me
list champions he would have been challenged by, with the assumption he'd have
taken the others, some in a rout. We'll also assume all from the past would have
fought as modern fighters do, and that Jerry didn't cut.Johnson - very
tricky, fast. Could be lazy though, with a tendency to not try as hard when he
was beating someone, or was being beat. Edge to J.Jeffries - hit like a
mule, superb athlete, possibly the strongest heavy ever, chin like Jerry's, but
slower. Tossup. Edge to J if he countered edge to Jeff if it became a
slugfest.Dempsey - same thing. Dempsey was explosive, hard hitting, had good
footwork, and was fast. Had trouble with movers and counterpunchers. Whomever
made the first mistake.Tunney - a real cutie, but a suspect chin. Edge to J,
but Jerry would have to fight him like he did Frazier.Baer - stay away from
the right hand, and crowd Max. Baer was a bully, and would have wilted under an
attack from someone unafraid of him.Louis - possibly the most technically
complete boxer, and a killer finisher. He almost had it all. His chin wasn't as
good as J's, and he had trouble with speedballs. Stay away, dance, counter,
stand a chance. Fight Louis's fight, pay the price.Marciano - see Frazier.
Tough one. Could JQ have ~not~ slugged to see who was tougher?Liston - move,
counter. He had a tendency to be spooked by "crazy" people, and those not afraid
of him, much like Tyson.Tyson - see Liston.Whattaya think!? This
same sort of thing, with changes for style could be written about other good men
who didn't win the title, just as it is constantly about those who did, in
fantasy matchups with one another. Things can happen and change very fast in the
ring, sometimes against all armchair logic.|

Giancarlo, you have been with the Quarrys when they were sitting around tossing
racial insults and bragging about kicking everyone's ass and planning who their
next victims will be? Again, you show no proof. I have heard stories
about Jerry's street fights and brushes with the law but I have never heard
about Jerry, in general, going around starting trouble. Now as far as
the other Quarry brothers, Mike is a fine respectful gentleman who as far as I
know, has not had brushes with the law. Bobby, if he had some run ins in the
past with the law, is now a family man working a regular job and taking care of
his family. Bobby also treats people with respect. While Jimmy was a bank loan
officer for "christ sake!" Jimmy was a fine respectful gentleman as well. Yet
you paint them all as a bunch of blood thirsty goons waiting to prey on their
next victim. What is bad logic? When someone makes a statement with no
proof to back it up and Giancarlo does that a lot, contrary to his self
perceived sense of logic.Now I know he is snob. La Habra is primarily a
residential community where all races live and get along. There are problems of
course, as nothing is perfect, but for the most part people live, go to work,
and take care of their families. Suprisingly, at least to Giancarlo,
the people in the so called nicer area, La Habra Heights and the "trailer park
trash," at least according to Giancarlo, in the La Habra valley, also don't have
a problem with each other. Those of us who have lived most of their lives in La
Habra and La Habra Heights went to school together and got along fine.
Besides, La Habra Heights is where most of the best parties were and
there is nothing wrong with a good party if not overdone.PAUL, I HOPE
YOU CAN CUT EVREN SOME SLACK AS HE IS A GOOD GUY. IT IS OK TO HAVE DIFFERING
VIEWPOINTS AND NOBODY SHOULD BE AFRAID TO PRESENT ONE, EVEN WHEN ONE IS WRONG,
LIKE GIANCARLO IS. I THINK EVREN WAS JUST ENCOURAGING DIFFERING OPINIONS AND
THE FREE FLOW OF DIALOG, NOT AGREEING WITH GIANCARLO. |
