did you see that show with the Quarrys' on it? I definitely would spend money to
get that tape! Anyone have an observations or opinion on Liston's hand speed or
quickness? I'd have to give the edge in power,[especially the left jab,]to
Liston.I based this ,[wrong or right],on their common opponent,Floyd
Patterson.Didn't Liston have an unusually long reach,increasing the
effectiveness of his jab? Without knowing much about Liston's boxing
abilitely,I'd give him the edge over Jerry just based on pure power.|

Mike Quarry like? How is he holding up?Have the years been kind to him? Weren't
you just a little afraid about shooting pool with him?Did you lose on purpose?
Just kidding. |

seems to be doing well. He is making every effort to stay physically and
mentally as sharp has he can be. As those that have met him will tell you, Mike
is a funny guy. He was joking around with me doing his Muhammed Ali impression
(I remember seeing Jerry do this also on a T.V. program). No I didn't lose to
Mike in pool on purpose. He wouldn't respect me if I did. I am just not a good
pool player. Robert Quarry also looks to be in good shape. I will tell you,
both surviving Quarry brothers are in shape, trim and fit. A lot of us could
take a lesson from them in fitness, myself included. I am still on the wrong
side of 300 pounds but am working to solve that problem. |

spent time with the whole Quarry Clan.With all respect,I,being a flaming
Irishman,cannot believe you didn't overhear some interesting comments or
insights into the boxing game in the 70's,as I am a survivor of many Irish
Wakes.|

really earth shaking about boxing was said. Of course the subject came up in
conversation but the only thing I remember Mike saying about it was he thinks
Bob Foster would have knocked out Mike Rossman and also Roy Jones Jr. One other
thing, I do know that the Quarrys prefer Elvis Presley to the Beatles. I
mentioned that I had met Jerry years ago and he and I had discussed music as
Jerry was a good singer and I am one also (although I never got further than the
bar bands). When I said that I had told Jerry that I liked the Beatles better
than Elvis, several Quarrys all said Elvis by far is better. That was Jerry's
opionon also. Mike also said Jerry's son, Jerry Jr, kind of looks like Elvis
and he does a little bit as did Jerry Sr. I personally think Jerry Sr. would
have had a good chance to be a star in the entertainment business, singing or
acting, if he had pursued it full time. |
