January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

7. A few years ago in Chicago I was working on my collection of Joe Frazier
boogers and I suddenly realized that a double left uppercut feint and an
overhand left hook, he could have flattened Ali at 1:21 of the 2nd in

Slade here. It's been a few years since I visited the site, but I come back to
share an important issue with you (and I'll get back to that issue in a minute).
But first, I want to say that I always thought it was a privilege to speak with
James Quarry, I viewed the world of boxing in a different perspective each time
I spoke with him - he could take a negative issue in boxing and talk about it in
a positive tone...such a great guy. What brings me back to the site today is
"Timothy Middleton". He is a fellow that writes about Financial Investing and
he wrote an article that's popping up ALL OVER the internet. I got upset about
his article….he’s says “The fund industry is taking a beating like Jerry Quarry,
and for good reason. One fund after another is disclosing that it was engaged in
funny-business trading.” First of all, he is completely off mark with using
Jerry in a “tomato can” stereotype. He associates a great person, in Jerry,
with corporate thieves just by mentioning him in the same paragraph. I tracked
down “Timothy Middleton” and got his business email address, it’s
timothy@middleton.net. I would encourage you to read his article and drop him
an email, again this article is everywhere, see it at
http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/p63164.asp as well as other sites. I sent
him an email and explained that his reference about Jerry was off mark. I told
him that Quarry was no “stiff”. His record was something like 52-8, during the
most competive era of Boxing (the era of Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton, etc) and
although he was TKO’d, he was never knocked out. I reminded him that Quarry
beat 2 of the Ring’s #1 contenders, I explained how he took apart Ron Lyle (17-
0), Mac Foster (24-0), and how he KO’s Ernie Shavers in the 1st round. I
explained that Ring Magazine voted the 1969 Frazier fight as the Fight of the
Year, and for good reason, 2 fighters in their prime gave it all they had and
put on a great show. I asked him to visit George Foreman’s home page, for years
George posted on his site that Jerry was the greatest Heavyweight to never win a
title and that if he changed his strategy in the Frazier fight, he could have
been champion…. and that George admittedly dodged him after the Shaver knockout.
I know all these points have been posted time and again on this site, but if you
can think of a good line or two, let Tim Middleton know about it - he flooded
the internet with his inappropriate comment about Jerry, maybe if we share the
true reputation Jerry with him he’ll make it up to us and post another article
that shines a different light on Jerry. Happy Holidays, Slade.|

are on the subject,perhaps you could give us your perspective on why all
christianity is under attack,by a muslim world that has vowed to destroy us.|

think with ' you guys from Sydney'. Steve - I have never tried to garner
sympathy for my religious beliefs as I have very few. When I foolishly mentioned
I was a muslim (by birth) I meant that my name and my complexion give me hassle.
I don't want any sympathy. It reminds me of a few years back - someone would
mention an Irish person and ignorant people like Paul from Sydney would start
rambling on about him being IRA. You said it perfectly Steve - 'We are from
the human race' and really there should me no more to it than that. When all my
friends get together it's like a meeting at the UN conference. Every race,
